Disney and Ellen DeGeneres Team Up to Adapt the Fantasy Book CASTLE HANGNAIL
Disney has picked up the rights to the children’s fantasy book Castle Hangnail, which was written by Ursula Vernon. Ellen DeGeneres is attached to produce the project along side her business partner Jeff Kleeman. I’ve never heard of the book until now, but here are is a description of the story:
The book tells of a 12-year old witch who shows up at a dark castle that needs a master or be decommissioned by the bureaucratic Board of Magic and its many minions, such as a hypochondriac fish and a letter ‘Q’ averse minotaur, dispersed into the world. She projects confidence as she tackles the series of tasks laid forth by the board but underneath lie several simmering secrets, including one of her being an imposter.
This sounds like the kind of fun film that my kids will really enjoy. DeGeneres is currently working on Pixar’s Finding Dory.
