Disney Almost Adapted Their Best Story but the Plans Fell Apart
Many people are aware that a significant number of popular Disney movies are adaptations from books. For instance, the 1989 movie The Little Mermaid was based on an 1837 fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast in 1991 was inspired by a 1740 novel, and Aladdin, dating back to the late 1200s. Although these timeless stories are synonymous with both Disney and animated films, it’s worth noting that a relatively recent book series could have produced Disney’s best movie yet. This captivating story was penned by Ridley Pearson, featuring villains like Maleficent, Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, and “the most potent demon ever created by Walt Disney,” attempting to conquer both Disney Theme Parks and the world.
