The Spiderwick Chronicles was almost deleted by Disney+ before it was sold to The Roku Channel---maybe it should've stayed in the bin.
On August 26, 2023, it was announced that Disney+ had let go of their adaptation of best-selling children’s seriescutting programming costs,” would no longer appear on Disney’s streaming service.
Based on the set of novels by authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, the series tells the story of the Grace siblings who, following the divorce of their parents, move from the city to an old, rural family estate. Once at the creaky house, twins Jared and Simon begin to discover strange artifacts that spell trouble both within the house and in the outside world.
As the shapeshifting ogre Mulgarath, Christian Slater is completely one-note. For a character as evil as he is supposed to be, there should be more obvious hints of angry and murderous propensities bubbling right under the surface. Instead, Slater’s performance usually reads as vaguely irritated, overly relying on his small degree of charm to manipulate those around him—with less than believable results.
