It would be great if it were true. I assume we'll get updates from the Pini's as things progress if they progress. Thanks for sharing.

Wendy mentioned the negotiations took four years. Let's see what will come of this. I'll keep posting updates if I hear anything.

Fun fact: The newsletter arrived 13:37. One would wonder if that was coincidence.
I just hope the script will be... non-Disney. And do all the colourful characters justice. And I hope no financial interest will mess with it.

So do I! But as I last talked personally to Wendy and Richard about this topic they really wanted any Elfquest series to stay true to their vision. Which doesn't mean there won't be changes, but the core themes should stay intact. They told us stories of what studies were proposing to them... They changes they wanted to do to the stories and characters to make it appeal to a broader audience and the Pinis refused these kinds of deals. So what I'm trying to say is, they didn't take the first deal that cane along but as they say themselves negotiated for four years to get the right deal.
