Sounds great, but...Disney??

I loved it. Disney can do great with it. Didn't they make The Nightmare Before Christmas? I wonder if this will be live action, CGI or stop motion. I think stop motion might be the best choice.

The Newberry Award is nice and all, but it's probably very worth mentioning that it also won the Hugo Award, which is kind of a big deal.  

Regardless, it's an awesome book, just like everything else Gaiman has written.  He's my favorite author, hands down, and I hope they can pull this adaptaion off.  

It's a kid's book.  Of course Disney.

As lauded an author as Gaiman is his works have been having a hard time finding mass appeal. Hopefully this'll do it for him.

Having the producer of Life of Pi aboard hopefully will help, I'm pretty excited for that film

This sounds like such a great concept by a great author. I'm tempted to read it before the movie gets made.

Monkeyfoot - if you're going to get into Neil Gaiman also check out one of the funniest books ever written:  Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch.

Also, the second funniest book ever which is not by Gaiman. It's called Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff by Christopher Moore.
 

Gaiman is great.  I thought I also read a while back that American Gods would be a series for one of the cable networks.  That should be good as well.

American Gods as a series on HBO would be great!
