Animated Despereaux
Well, this is interesting - an animated movie of The Tale of Despereaux is in production (see IMDb blurb with actors here). It's not going to be out until next Christmas, though. Anyone seen any of the movies made out of other Newbery winners?
Well, I've seen the Sarah, Plain and Tall TV movie with Glenn Close. I know there are movies for Holes (2003) and Bridge to Terabithia (last year), but I have not seen them. The Giver is supposed to come out in 2009.
