Coming 2008: Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning ?

[Kristin Simard]

I'm out of the loop in terms of most recent animation (with the obvious exceptions of Cars, Ratatouille and a few others). I didn't know that so many sequels were being made. What a shame. There are so many great traditional folk and fairy tales out there that have never seen the light of film. Likewise there are many Russian fairy tales which have been made into films, but could be remade with more modern technology. I guess what I'm saying is that there is a vast treasury of stories that could be put to film without resorting to making contrived sequels.

Corpse Bride is one example of a recent adaptation of a traditional folk tale to film. I mean, it can be done!
