Famous Five get make-over for Disney series
Cole, Dylan, Jo and Allie will replace Julian, Dick, Anne and George to embark — together with a new Timmy the dog — on a raft of fresh adventures which will “remain faithful to the spirit” of Blyton’s classic 1940s tales but with a contemporary twist.
The young super-sleuths will still have to “rely on their own resources” in the 26-part series, which is being made with Chorion, a British company that owns the rights to the author’s books.
