The company, which was behind <em>The Gruffalo<\/em> and <em>Revolting Rhymes<\/em>, is currently in discussions with broadcasters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be working with Tom to create the definitive version of this wonderful classic story,\u201d said Martin Pope, co-founder of Magic Light Pictures. \u201cThe tale begins at Christmas with its wintry landscapes, then takes us into vivid imaginary worlds. Tom is such a tremendous BAFTA-winning talent, and with his captivating characters and the heart-tugging story we are hoping to create a film that will prove essential Christmas family viewing for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bidwell added: \u201cLike all great works of children&#8217;s literature, <em>The Velveteen Rabbit<\/em> tells a story about important themes like love and loss, yet it does so with breathtaking imagination and joy. I love the fact that it&#8217;s a vignette set at Christmas. It&#8217;s almost like our audience is pulled inside the picture on the front of a Christmas card into a world of magic and wonder.
