“The Chronicles Of Prydain” Series Being Developed By Disney

Disney have acquired the movie rights to “The Chronicles of Prydain” fantasy book series and is currently developing a new movie.

The series includes five different novels, “The Book of Three,” “The Black Cauldron,” “The Castle Llyr,” “Taran Wanderer” and “The High King.”  . These were originally published in the 1960’s and follow the story of Taran, who is a assistant pig keeper and becomes a grand hero.  The books are based in Prydain, and also features a young princess Eilonwy and a wild creature named Gurgi.

Disney have already used the first two books as the its source material for the classic 1985 animated movie “The Black Cauldron”, which a Horned King sought to secure an ancient magical cauldron that would aid him in his desire to conquer the world.

Could Disney be working on a sequel of the Black Cauldron or perhaps a live action version?  Comment below with your thoughts:
