The Russo Bros. Developing an Animated Film Adaptation of Judy Blume's SUPERFUDGE For Disney+

Disney+ has announced that they are teaming up with Joe and Anthony Russo to develop an animated film adaptation of Judy Blume’s classic book Superfudge.

The project is being written by Amos Vernon and Nunio Randazzo, and the story centers on The Hatcher family. “Twelve-year-old Peter Hatcher almost has it all — two boomer parents, a perfect though slightly odorous turtle, his very own bedroom in a cramped Manhattan apartment, a ride-or-die best friend Jimmy and eight whole weeks of summer vacation ahead of him — with just one massive problem. Farley Drexel Hatcher, his 3-year-old brother, aka Fudge. Fudge isn’t just a problem; he is a tornado, a tsunami, a superstorm, an arctic bomb of chaos and destruction. And when Fudge runs away under Peter’s watch, an epic family adventure across NYC ensues. One that ultimately brings these two together just as their world is turned upside down by the arrival of a brand-new problem — an infant baby sister — reminding us all that nothing is ever constant … except change.”

I remember reading this book for the first time in elementary school. Superfudge and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing were two of my favorite books from when I was a young kid. The stories were just so much fun! It’s pretty cool that the Russo Bros. are working on an animated film. I’m sure they’ll deliver a fun flick.
