A Wrinkle in
Time was a book released in 1962 written Madeline L’engle. The film rights were
acquired by Disney and 2 attempts of an adaptation have been released. One a TV
mini-series released in 2003, and a feature film released in 2018. I’m going to
be looking at the latter as that’s the most recent and frankly it’s the worst
of the two. Handling the adaptation process are Jennifer Lee, a major
figurehead in Disney’s animation department with works including Wreck it Ralph
and Frozen and Jeff Stockman, who had previously brought Bridge to Terebithia
to screen
The film was
a box office Bomb for Disney, making a mere $133 million on it’s $130m budget,
making the second biggest bomb of the year, we’ll be covering the biggest in
due course. It holds a mixed 42% with critics but audiences were less kind,
giving it a 27% rating
So quick
summary of my thoughts on them as individual entities
