Howl, Hiccup, Shrek and other cartoon characters became popular all over the world and gained a lot of fans. We are ready to review our favorite cartoons many times, but sometimes we do not even suspect that these stories can be read in the first place, since they were first invented not by scriptwriters, but by the authors of children's books. True, many of these works are nowhere near as famous as their drawn and moving versions.
Walking castle
The magnificent cartoon by Hayao Miyazaki was created based on the fairytale novel of the same name by the English writer Diana Wynn Jones. The book was published in 1984, but it became known all over the world only after the release of the full-length cartoon in 2004. The plot retains the main characters, but the famous Japanese director saw this story much deeper. So, in the cartoon, the image of war becomes one of the main antagonists. Miyazaki noted that his views during the creation of "Howl's Moving Castle" were influenced by the war in Iraq. But the prototype of the castle itself, slowly wandering among the desert mountains, was, in his words, a fabulous hut on chicken legs. It is known that Miyazaki loves our cartoons, and as a child, it was they who made an indelible impression on him.
Coraline
The book, which can truly immerse not only children in the world of nightmares, was written in 2002. Its author, Neil Gaiman, is a renowned English science fiction writer. The story "Coraline" received a number of prestigious awards and became the basis for the musical. Then an animated film was created based on it, the first in the history of a puppet, originally filmed in 3D. The cartoon was rated as containing frightening images and dark humor, but despite this (or thanks to), it grossed huge sums at the box office and took the 3rd place in the list of the highest grossing puppet cartoons, and also became the best film of 2009 according to the American Film Institute. …
How to Train Your Dragon
The English writer Cressida Cowell created a cycle of twelve stories about dragons and unstoppable Vikings in the form of Hiccup Bloodthirsty Karasik III's memories of his childhood. Cressida says that in her youth she lived with her parents on an almost uninhabited island, and, having no other means of entertainment, she began to write fantastic stories, inspired by that "wild, stormy area." After the adaptation of the first book in 2010, the story of the boy who tamed the dragon became famous and loved by viewers all over the world.
Shrek
An illustrated story by American children's writer and artist William Steig was written in 1990. The book turned out to be quite small, it told about the adventures of the kind ogre Shrek. True, in this story, Fiona was immediately huge, and the friend of the protagonist was a wonderful stallion. The cartoon of the same name at one time (in 2001) became a real event and for the first time in history received an Oscar as the best animated feature film.
101 Dalmatians
The spotted characters of Disney cartoons and films are so popular that today few people remember the novel by British writer Dodie Smith, which was released in 1956. The story was filmed twice by the Walt Disney studio: in 1961, a cartoon was shot, and in 1996, a feature film. There is also a musical about the adventures of cute puppies and an evil millionaire. It is interesting that it was staged "from the point of view of dogs", for which all performers of "human" roles played on stilts.
If earlier books were turned into cartoons, now it has become fashionable to film animation: 7 full-length films based on the best Disney fairy tales that the whole family will like
