  • During World War II a group of soldiers were traveling through the Iranian mountains, where they met a boy selling a small bear cub. The soldiers took the cub under their wing, and before long, the cub grew into a giant brown bear that became the mascot for the 22nd Artillery Supply Company. Wojtek would become a friend of the soldiers and help scare away enemies. Watch today's amazing video to meet Wojtek, the WW2 brown bear!

If it's a real-life story then they can't control books, comics, or interviews. They cannot ban another film adaptation to be made, cannot stop people from monetizing their own experiences, etc. thus, these companies are not interested. This is also the reason they produce ex-novo animated stories once and again and again, even if they're trash, instead of trying to buy rights to already successful children's books: again, they want full control
