Please God let the Lopezes be doing music! After all, if they want to imitate Frozen's success... A well-known fairy tale with music by the Lopezes. *shrug* Penelope is a good name for a Disney Princess (and it also ends with a "pea" sound, lol).

wow another actual animated fairy tale from Disney! Im curious how they're gonna adapt this one. Im not as familiar with P&TP as other fairytales(other than something about a princess, a pea, and a bunch of mattresses, lol) but I assume like the others that were adapted its very short so they will have to pad it. Also I wont be surprised if its set in a non-European country(my guess is whatever country the director is from). Which is fine just please dont set it in

Yes, it's a very short story. I believe this is the full fairytale: http://hca.gilead.org.il/princess.html

I think it's very likely that if they make another fairytale, it won't be set in an European country, as you said. But, as I mentioned in the other forum, I don't believe this rumor is true. I think it's a live-action film, as it was first reported. I'll be very happy if I end up being wrong, though.
