The success of Goosebumps on Disney+ isn't just good news for the R.L. Stine-based franchise, but for Disney's next two book-to-screen adaptations.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The surprising success of Goosebumps is giving book-to-screen movie fans high hopes for Disney's next two novel adaptations, which have proved tricky for filmmakers in the past. The Goosebumps franchise itself has had a checkered adaptation history, with several movies and series to its name. Based on the beloved R.L.
Released on Disney+ and Hulu simultaneously, Goosebumps centers on five high schoolers-turned-teen-sleuths: quarterback Isaiah ; Isaiah's neighbor Margot ; James , Isaiah's wealthy best friend; the oft-ignored and mistreated Isabella , who vents her frustrations through online trolling; and Lucas , an extreme sports fanatic who's chased adrenaline highs since losing his dad.
Percy Jackson & Eragon's Disney Adaptations Are More Promising After Goosebumps With solid reviews from critics and audiences alike, Goosebumps is a surprising streaming win for Disney, which has been struggling in 2023 with its tent pole franchises and big-budget movies. Perhaps more importantly, Disney has proven that it can transplant well-worn, fan-loved novels into an effective miniseries format.
Why Goosebumps Is A Good Sign For Disney's Future Instead of taking the safe, tried-and-tested anthology route and adapting R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books as distinct episodes, Disney's Goosebumps series treads new ground. Although a bold move, it paid off in spades, delivering something both familiar and fresh to long-time fans and series newcomers alike.
As fantasy epics, both Percy Jackson and Eragon require an immense attention to detail and, based on their movie track records, could easily be deemed too risky. While Disney's Percy Jackson show is truer to the books already than the series' previous adaptations, Disney's Goosebumps further proves that sticking to the most resonant elements of the source material matters a lot — to fans and the story at hand.
