Just William is the first book of children's short stories about the young school boy William Brown, written by Richmal Crompton, and published in 1922. The book was the first in the series of William Brown books which was the basis for numerous television series, films and radio adaptations. Just William is also sometimes used as a title for the series of books as a whole, and is also the name of various television, film and radio adaptations of the books. The William stories first appeared in Home magazine and Happy Mag.
Short stories
The book contains the following short stories:
William Goes to the Pictures – William's aunt gives him a shilling, so he buys sweets and goes to the cinema. On his way home he is obsessed with acting out what he has seen, much to the annoyance of the locals.
William the Intruder – William steals the attentions of his brother's new girlfriend.
William Below Stairs – William runs away from home after reading a book about a boy who ran away and made a fortune in gold. He gets a job working as a servant in an upper class house, not realising that he doesn't like work.
The Just William series is a sequence of thirty-nine books written by English author Richmal Crompton. The books chronicle the adventures of the mischievous schoolboy William Brown.
Published over a period of almost fifty years, between 1921 and 1970, the series is notable for the fact that the protagonist remains at the same eleven years of age, despite each book being set in the era it was written in. The first book was Just William, and often the entire series is named after this book. Each book, with the exception of Just William's Luck, which was a novel, was a collection of short stories.
The series has spawned various television, film, theatre and radio adaptations. It also has a large fan following, with such groups as the Just William Society.
Synopsis of the series
Characters and setting
William Brown is an 11-year-old mischievous middle class schoolboy who lives in a country village in southern England. A number of guesses have been made about where the stories are set. In Pensions for Boys in Sweet William (1936), it is suggested that the village is about 50 miles from London. It has also been suggested (in Margarey Disher's book Growing Up with Just William) that it is situated somewhere around Bromley, Kent. A road sign shown in a Thomas Henry illustration from "William Gets A Move On" in "William Does His Bit" reads "London A1", which would place the village north of London.
Just William is a 1990s BBC Radio series based on the Just William series of books by Richmal Crompton. They are produced by Pete Atkin and spoken by Martin Jarvis and have become one of the most well known adaptations of the books. The series has been released on Cassette and CD.

the reason I hate disney:
This movie was supposed to come out of Blue Sky studios, but for "reasons" Disney decided to shut it down alongside with the Nimona project. Fortunately, the movie managed to be released on Netflix, but animation quality seems to be the cost of it :(
edit: i made this video at 2 in the morning before the movie release because netflix clips looked unfinished and a bit disappointing. how the hell did it get almost million views. what.

How Lies of P Twists Pinocchio's Origins

Lies of P, Pinocchio Souls, might not look it at a glance, but it is a shockingly loving adaptation of Carlo Collodi's original 1883 novel. In this video, I want to not only look at what exactly is going on in the story of the game, but also dive into the many many ways it references and twists its source material, into something surprisingly thoughtful and considered. Settle in, this is going to be a long one.
