It’s clearly the day to announce CG cartoon adaptations of children’s books. The second today is Peter And The Starcatchers, based on a bestselling novel by Dave Thomas and Ridley Pearson.

Disney will adapt the book, which explores the origin of Peter Pan. It follows a a young orphaned boy, Peter, who becomes a stow-away on a merchant ship in order to avoid a life of servitude. He gets more than he bargained for when he finds a hidden trunk full of the "starstuff," and when the shipment is hijacked, it is up to Peter to save the day.
