Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland with the help of the local Nac Mac Feegles — aka the Wee Free Men— who are a clan of fierce, sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men.
Brian Henson, CEO of The Jim Henson Company will serve as producer. Rhianna Pratchett, Rob Wilkins and Rod Brown of Narrativia and Vince Raisa of The Jim Henson Company, will serve as executive producers.
The movie will is a co-production with Narrativia.
“I’ve loved the Jim Henson Company’s work all my life, so it’s a great honor to team up with them and bring Wee Free Men to the big screen,” Pratchett said.
“As a family owned company, we fully understand the importance of legacy properties,” Henson said.
