Disney — the Novels the Animated Classics Came From
After hearing about Bambi having been a novel, I became interested in listening to the books that Disney made into classic animated movies that us '80s and ‘90s kids associate most with vcrs in our childhood living rooms.
Several years ago I had begun collecting Margery Sharp books, although I haven’t gotten to read them. She was the inspiration for The rescuers, and The Rescuers Down Under, of course. Miss Bianca and Mr. Bernard, the mice, hang on my Christmas tree every year.
And I have started to listen to some of Mary Poppins. As my daughter says, I like a good series.
So far, many of them were written in the early 1900s. Older fairy tales also have been adapted, such as Cinderella.
I plan to do a sort of book review for each one as I finish.
