Fox Animation, according to CinemaBlend, has bought the movie rights to The Hero’s Guide To Saving Your Kingdom, a children’s book by Christopher Healy. The book takes an opposite approach the the standard Disney fairytale by focusing on the princes’ POV rather than the princesses. Healy’s book wasn’t released to the public until May 1, so it hasn’t attained a solid reputation yet. Backwards and fractured fairytales are always an animation staple these days. the Hero’s Guide To Saving Your Kingdom may raise the standard level for quality storytelling that way Shrek did.
