And before we jump into today’s list, I have some exciting news for all my Disney
lovers out there.
I am pumped to share that Disney has paired up with Beyond the Screen to give fans an
exclusive giveaway of the live-action remake, Aladdin movie.
The movie was so good it made 117 million dollars on its opening weekend alone and earned
over 1 billion dollars at the worldwide box office, making it one of the studio’s most
successful live-action reboots from their animated library.
The Blue-Ray DVD is officially available TODAY, and the animated classic is also joining the
highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection on Blue-Ray DVD as well.
Tell me this isn’t the best day ever?!

10) Starting off the list at number 10 is Rose Red.
Now, you’re probably wondering what on earth that is since it’s not one of our classic
Disney titles.
It’s actually an up-coming live action fantasy film that tells the story of Snow White’s
sister: Rose Red.
The story itself is inspired from the 1937 animated classic.
The Rose Red character comes from Brother Grimm’s Snow White and Rose-Red; the best
way to sum this up for you is that the Snow White in the original story is not the same
character as the one in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which we are all very used to.
No real details of the plot have been given just that the movie is said to pick up in
the moments after Snow White bites the poisoned apple.
That’s when her sister embarks on this adventure with the Seven Dwarfs to find a cure.
As for cast, the only thing that was announced was that Disney has eye on Brie Larson for
the lead role.
Our Captain Marvel might be the hero in a different story.
9) Up next at number 9 is Peter Pan.
We’ve seen this one done before let’s be honest; it has been brought to life a variety
of times, but Disney is set to remake the 1953 animated film.
We’ve seen different tv shows and movies based on the characters but the Director,
David Lowry is going to set his sights on re-imagining Peter Pan’s story.
Back in 2016 he spoke about his vision with Collider and said that he’s a big fan of
the movie and wants to put his own spin on the original material.
He said: it made a huge impact on how I grew up.
I love the cartoon.
I love the 2003 version.
I didn’t know how I would do it better.
Then I started thinking, well, how would I do it, not better, but differently?
No date has been announced for the release, but I am personally excited to see what he
does differently for this one.
I’m never sick of Peter Pan, it’s such a good classic story.
8) Swiping the number 8 spot is Lilo & Stitch.
This one had Disney fans pumped when it announced that it will be returning as a live-action
movie, with some help from CGI, of course.
Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who were the producers of the Aladdin remake, are working
on this one next.
They hired Mike Van Waes to be the project’s screenwriter, who is best known for his work
in the horror genre, so this should be interesting.
Images actually started surfacing of a live-action Stitch character and fans were thinking it
was for the upcoming movie.
And since our screenwriter is known for his scary stuff, it made sense, because the images
were horrifying.
Turns out, it was confirmed that they are NOT connected to Disney’s upcoming production
and it was actually just fan art created by an artist named Boris Kiselicki.
And thank god, because I think the children would be scared.
No information has really come out yet, we still aren’t sure if it’s going to be
in theatres or will just be released for Disney’s upcoming streaming service Disney plus.
Here’s hoping for the big screen.
7) Coming into number 7 is The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
This Disney classic remake was announced more recently in January of 2019.
Because of it being more recent there isn’t too much info for us to get excited about,
just that we can expect to see it as a live-action.
It will keep the same original title and will be a new adaptation of the novel written by
Victor Hugo.
It’s been reported that it will be re-done as a full on musical and Josh Gad, who did
Frozen, is on board to produce it.
I’m on board with anything that is going to be a full on musical.
Yes.
No cast has been announced yet since it’s still in the early stages of development,
which just means that I still have a chance at getting a role.
6) In at number 6 is The Sword in the Stone.
I feel like this movie has always been under appreciated.
As a kid it may have seemed a little more boring compared to some of the other storylines,
since it follows the story of a young King Arthur.
But nonetheless, Disney is remaking the 1963 story which follows King Arthur and his lessons
with the epic Wizard Merlin.
The remake will be written by the Game of Thrones writer and producer, Bryan Cogman,
so we know it won’t disappoint.
Let’s hope he saved a shield or two from his work on Game of Thrones, in case true
fans aren’t impressed.
No other information about the plot or cast has been leaked yet but we do know that it
won’t be in theatres, it will debut on Disney plus.
5) Half way through the list at number 5 is The Little Mermaid.
It was first reported back in 2016 that the live-action remake was on its way.
For a while we thought it was fake news because it just seemed too good to be true, but it’s
legit.
Casting for the lead role of Ariel was announced and Halle Bailey will be taking the part.
You probably know her best as one of the members in the R&B group Chloe X Halle.
It caused a bunch of controversy because some fans weren’t thrilled that Ariel would be
played by a black actress.
But tons of people came to her defense, including Jodi Benson, the actress who voiced Ariel
in the original movie.
It was reported that Melissa McCarthy will take on the role of Ursula, which in my opinion
is a genius choice.
And Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina are in talks to voice Flounder and Scuttle.
No release date has been nailed down yet but we can expect to see it in 2021.
4) Here at number 4 we have Cruella.
That’s right, the 101 Dalmatians villain is getting her own movie title and the person
taking on the epic role of Cruella is Emma Stone.
Other cast members have also been announced and we can look forward to seeing Emma Thompson,
Paul Hauser, and Joel Fry.
The movie is currently in production and we’ve been able to see some behind the scene photos
of Emma Stone rocking some bright red hair.
But don’t fear, she will still be rocking the legendary black and white hair and we
also got a look at it when Disney showed us her official look on Twitter.
Honestly, I love that they picked Emma Stone for this part I think that she’s going to
kill it.
We don’t know much else about the plot but it’s been described as an 80’s set origin
story with a punk vibe.
So I’m not really sure what that means.
The original release date was December 23rd 2020, which we were hella pumped about, but
it’s been pushed back and confirmed as May 28th 2021.
So we have to sit back and relax for this one.
3) Alright guys, at number 3 is Mulan.
This one has been highly anticipated since it’s been delayed on more than one occasion.
It was said to be coming out in 2018, then that changed to 2019, and now it’s 2020.
But it’s all set in stone now.
The movie will follow the original story and Disney is hoping that it will engage Chinese
audiences in a way that they feel the original animation failed to do.
Chinese American actress Liu Yifei was cast to play Mulan and it’s been reported that
all primary roles in the movie, including Mulan’s love interest, are Chinese.
We will notice one big difference though and that is that there will be no music.
The director of the remake, Niki Caro, announced that it will not be a musical, which shattered
all my hopes and dreams of seeing a live rendition of I’ll Make a Man Out of You.
She told Moviefone: It will be extremely muscular and thrilling and entertaining and moving.
Disney released the first picture of the new Mulan on August 13th and announced that production
on the movie has officially begun.It will hit theatres on March 27th 2020.
2) In spot number 2 is Lady and The Tramp.
If you’ve been on the internet lately you’ve probably seen the adorable footage of the
real dogs being used for the live-action remake.
And if not, we got you covered.
Disney released the images on Twitter and shared that the new movie will be released
on their new streaming service, Disney Plus.
The remake has been described as a live-action/animation hybrid, but the dogs will be played by these
real-life dogs, which is cool.
But who’s voicing the characters?
Because although we wish it could happen, we all know that dog’s can't talk.
Justin Theroux will be voicing Tramp and Tessa Thompson is taking on the voice of Lady.
The Disney plus streaming service launches this fall and this remake will be released
on November 12th 2019, so it looks like we won’t be getting a theatrical release.
1)Taking the number 1 spot is Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.
The first movie came out 4 years ago and raked in 758 million dollars at the box office so
it only makes sense that a sequel would be made.
Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning are returning for their roles as Maleficent and Princess
Aurora.
In the sequel we will see their characters find new alliances along with enemies as they
fight to protect their enchanted kingdom and everything that lives in it.
It’s been said that the story will pick up several years after the events of the first
movie and that princess Aurora is actually soon to be queen.
It has been in development since 2014, but the filming began last May and we got to see
a little behind the scenes fun when Elle posted a picture of her and Angelina on set.
This one we can get excited about because it’s next in line and will be coming out
on October 18th 2019.
