We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
AnimeNews Network has posted the trailer, they picked up from Kadokawa Shoten’s Movie Walker website and YouTube, of Mary Pope Osborne’s The Magic Tree House. The movie’s animation is based on Ayana Amako’s artwork that is used in the Japanese editions of the books. This will definitely be one for libraries to keep their eyes out for when it becomes available to purchase in the U.S.

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.
