Madeline: Lost in Paris

(Disney)

An animated direct-to-video sequel to Madeline goes the Dickens/Joan Aiken (The Wolves of Willoughby Chase) route, with Ludwig Bemelman's heroine getting abducted by her "long-lost uncle" and sent to the factory of the evil Miss La Croque, where orphan girls are forced to make lace. The voices of Jason Alexander, Lauren Bacall, and Christopher Plummer could give this some bite.
