The Chronicles of Prydain is a wonderful series of fantasy novels by Lloyd Alexander. It tells a story of a young pig keeper named Taran as he goes on a great journey to save the world with a delightful group of companions who all have their own quirks. I don’t know if a proper adaptation will ever happen, but if it does, here is my dreamcast. I liked the idea of having a diverse cast of actors that still fit the characters well, so my dreamcast will include POC as well as LGBTQ actors (because let’s face it, Fflewddur Fflam could easily be gay). I’m not concerned about any hateful people who complain about “wokeness.” The sophisticated world will leave those types behind.
