A retelling of the Norwegian fairy tale "East of the Sun and West of the Moon."
Ultimately I'd like to do this as a virtual pop-up book in Unity, and I'm torn between doing a nice vertical slice in that style, or roughing in the whole game with lots of sketches linked together with Twine. Either way, it should be a fun month! ^_^
I can't speak for Morgan, of course, but I doubt it. If there's any "connection" at all it'll be because the works you cite were also influenced by Norwegian folklore. Harmless.
I'm an aspiring writer and voice talent with a passion for literature and an unhealthy attachment to video games. I am also a seasoned typo-sniper. Inquiries are encouraged. Friendly chats are welcome.
"Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other."

I also remember a film I watched decades ago, where at night the polar bear turned into a human prince who then made love with the girl.
By any chance are these related?
The Golden Compass would be very loosely influenced, if at all, but the film you remember is likely an adaptation of the same story, or a closely related one. East of the Sun, West of the Moon is one of the 'animal bridegroom' class of tales, like the better-known Beauty and the Beast.
East of the Sun and West of the Moon was always one of my favourite fairytales. The ideas you have for visual presentation sound really interesting too! I'll be watching this one.
