David Hoberman (Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Wonder) of Hobie Films and Caroline Fraser of HarperCollins Productions (Carmen Sandiego, The Oregon Trail) will produce an animated movie based on E.B. White's book, The Trumpet of the Swan, with David Guion and Michael Handelman attached to write. Julie Meschko of Hobie Films is executive producing. The book has sold 10 million copies worldwide and has never gone out of print.
"The Trumpet of the Swan is one of the most powerful stories ever written about a character with a disability who learns that what makes them different makes them extraordinary," said Fraser. "The story will take audiences on a breathtaking visual and musical journey as this beloved character finds his voice."
Hoberman added: "I'm delighted to partner with HarperCollins Productions and Guion and Handelman in bringing E.B. White's beautiful, elegant, and touching story to the screen."
