Ludwig Bemelans Madeline books are getting a new adaptation. An animated film by Sycamore Studios is in the works after the studio acquired the rights to the books.

An animated special debuted in 1988 narrated by the late great Christopher Plummer. The other five books received specials as well. They were a success that a TV show aired from 1993-2001 that won a Daytime Emmy Award.

This franchise has been so special to my family over the years. I'm glad it's making a return.

Forgot they even did a live action movie version, never did get around to seeing it.

I wonder what this animated movie version will be like.
