Eloise

Eloise is the first of the Eloise book series of written and drawn by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight, respectively. It was published in 1955. In 1969, the adult-oriented book was re-released as a children's book. An audiobook version of Eloise, narrated by Bernadette Peters, was released in October 2015 to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the series. Again, the book was meant for "child at heart" adults looking for a good read. After the book and story were later bought by Disney and turned into a children's movie, it skyrocketed to success for both audiences. This was a major marketing point and strategy for children books and learning on independence and recreational activities to do with parents. Later on, there were two additional movies made by Disney and Co. The first movie entitled Eloise at the Plaza was released on April 27th, 2003 as a spin off from the original book. Afterwards, Eloise at Christmastime was released on November 22, 2003. Although this film did not do as well in ratings comparatively to its predecessor, audiences still enjoyed the film, but admitted was geared towards children more than a general audience. Both films feature actress, singer, and performer Julie Andrews.
