This will be something to catch the eye of librarians. Anime News Network, linked below, is reporting that Mary Pope Osborne’s Magic Tree House has been green-lit to be an animated film. If everything moves forward without any complications the article says that the film will be released in Japan in 2012. This is one that I would say will be translated for the U.S. market. This will be a great promotional tool when it does hit the U.S. to make displays featuring it and the children book series by Osborne to encourage more readership for the series.
