Disney Villains: Maleficent makes Reynard canon.

A little-known abandoned Disney movie concept, concerning the adaptation of the medieval fable Reynard the Fox, resurfaced in an important Disney comic, as Disney Villains: Maleficent #1 brings the Reynard character back within Disney's Sleeping Beauty lore. Hardcore Disney fans will be pleased with the deep cut making its way into this upcoming comic, paying homage to an obscure idea for a movie that was never to be.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney Villains: Maleficent #1, written by Soo Lee, features the character of Reynard the Fox, a folkloric trickster figure, adding him Maleficent's story, along with a completely original background and story. Originally intended for a film adaptation in the 1930s by Walt Disney animation, the Mouse House's version of Reynard is finally seeing the light of day, albeit much different than ever planned.

Reynard The Fox And Disney Have A Long History Reynard the Fox is finally finding his place in Disney lore with his appearance in Disney Villains: Maleficent #1, after a decades-long unsuccessful battle to get the medieval folklore character to the big screen.

As a result, a Reynard film was put into development in 1937, but Walt Disney took issue with the development of the Reynard character being seen as a crook, and not kid friendly enough for the studio's audience A version of the film received further attention in the late 1940s, where treatments were crafted for the story options, with Reynard made to be more likable and less criminal-like.

Ultimately, Disney's Reynard never came to fruition. Eventually, financial hardship at the company, and Walt's death, put an end to the Reynard concept However, all was not lost for the Reynard character, as certain ideas that were intended for Reynard were recycled into a different fox character: 1973's Robin Hood.
