Plans include reissues of the 13 classic picture books in addition to new titles. The originals will be refreshed to ensure that they offer a modern perspective and that the art style is consistent throughout the entire program.

But a lot of care is being taken. Holabird and Craig are heavily involved in the entire program, both classic and new, beyond the basic approvals typical of licensed publishing. They are suggesting changes to the text, redlining images, and helping decide which classic books should be reissued first. Mattel is developing a new TV series for the property, which would be the fourth on-screen iteration for Angelina, but no release date has been announced yet.
