Meet the multicultural, shopaholic, gadget-geek kids of the Famous Five

THE Disneyfication of the Famous Five is set to end years of speculation that George shacked up with a woman and Timmy met his maker in a crush with a bus.

Instead, fans of the Five can look forward to meeting their digitally remastered offspring in a 21st century televised version of Enid Blyton’s most popular books.

From May 5, the Disney Channel will broadcast the animated adventures of the next generation sleuths, in a format likely to draw comparisons with Scooby Doo.
