The Secret Garden: How to Lose the Power of a Classic

New DVD release, , ,
Children’s fantasy media has long been one of Britain’s chief exports. From Peter Pan to The Chronicles of Narnia, to Harry Potter, the UK has been entertaining audiences around the world with stories of magic. But though Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 novel, The Secret Garden, is a classic of British children’s literature, it is not an example of children’s fantasy. Nor did it ever pretend to be.

But in an interview with Brobible, they talked about the one comics adaptation that could bring them…

New DVD release, , , ,
This interview contains very mild character spoilers for Scoob!  Like many of us, Scoob! animation coordinator Bill Haller’s first memories of Scooby-Doo center around the long-lost Saturday morning lineup.  “I grew up with Scooby-Doo as part of Saturday morning cartoons. Me and my sister sitting in front of the TV and arguing over what lineup we were going to do. I don’t even know if they have lineups like that anymore?” Heller laughs.  Those warm recollections shaped the director’s childhood, which made taking on Scoob!, the new Scooby-Doo movie from Warner Bros., an incredibly special experience. “Scooby-Doo and Hanna-Barbera were…
