Bryan himself then posted a picture of himself trying to pull a sword from the stone at Disneyland on Twitter with the caption “Research”. The animated flick was loosely based on T.H. The Hollywood Reporter stated that it is being written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift and will follow how Aladdin’s Genie ended up enslaved in the lamp. He’s also developing a “Magic: The Gathering” for Fox and “The False Prince” for Paramount.
