Disney has been pumping out lots of live action remakes to their animated classics and since
our last video a few of them have been released and more announced!
It's time to revisit our remakes list and update you on everything coming from Disney.
Remember, this list is not 100% guaranteed, some of these remakes are only in pre production
and could end up never getting made.
Also the release dates are never solid for movies multiple years out.
OK...We've got 15 movies on our list!
Are you ready?
First up is.. 15.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame Ring the bells and get ready for Quasimodo
and the rest of the gang in the live action retelling of the hunchback who lives sheltered
from the world high up in the belltowers of Notre Dame.
It's one of Disney's darkest films in the 90s full of dramatic events, strong themes
and a message of tolerance that you didn't see in many kids films in that time.
Critics commented that the film might be too violent and scary for young children.
Frozen star Josh Gad is said to produce the film, could that mean he might also star as
Quasimodo?
It will be really cool to see a turn of the century Paris come to life.
It will likely be filmed on green screen as the city of Paris is much different than it
was during the story.
And since the tragic fire that destroyed much of the cathedral, Disney will have to really
rely on CGI graphics to rebuild it for the film.
No word on when this movie will be released.
14.
Pinnochio I'm not gonna lie, this movie has had a few
bumps in the road already in pre production.
Original director Sam Mendes left the project and then Paddington director Paul King as
well after it was said to be cancelled.
Now Disney is in talks to bring the legendary Robert Zemeckis on board to direct.
If you don't know his name, you definitely know his movies..THeres back to the future?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump to name a few! Disney needs to make sure this
is good.
Dumbo was a good movie but it didn't do as well at the box office compared to Aladdin
and Lion King.
This is another kinda dark Disney movie with subject matter that will definitely have to
change.
I don't think Disney will want to show Pinnochio getting sick and high from smoking.
Let's see what ends up happening with this little wooden boy.
13.
Night on Bald Mountain Based on a sequence from Disney's Fantasia
released in 1940.
Filmmakers are planning a full on live action movie about a character you probably don't
even know about.
This opens the doors for Disney to tell any story they want since there is not much source
material to draw from.
No word on production or anticipated release.
12.
Snow White Yes, another live action Snow White but this
is the first from Disney.
The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb is set to direct the project which will be
a musical.
LA LA Land songwriters are also attached to write new songs for the film.
I'm still hoping Snow White doesn't end up with that high pitched voice like she did
in the original.
No release date has been set for this movie.
11.
The Jungle Book 2 Mowgli and the gang are back after the visually
groundbreaking remake ruled the box office in 2016 making just under a billion dollars.
Director Jon Favreu the director for the first film and who last directed The Lion King remake
is attached once again.
I can't wait to see what they do when we go to the jungle for some new songs, epic action
and fun.
There is still a lot that can be told in this story thanks to the abundant source material
in Ruydard Kiplings work.
No release date has been set but were hoping to see this before 2025.
10.
Prince Charming It's not another princess movie, this time
Disney is putting the spotlight on Charming.
The world of Cinderella is getting remade with a twist.
Fans never got to see the backstory of Prince Charming or really even get to know him as
a person and that is about to change.
This is another one where Disney can go anywhere they want with it.
No release date has been set.
9.
Peter Pan We've definitely have seen way too much remakes
of this story and my personal favorite has been Steven Spielberg's Hook starring Robin
Williams but we've never seen a live action version from Disney.
The story of Pan vs Hook and the fight to never grow up could be an epic adventure in
live action.
Neverland is a full of adventure and fantasy, if done right it could be something like Pirates
of the Carribean but with a flying kid!
You could think all the happy thoughts you want but no release date has been announced,
so you're just gonna have to wait.
8.
Genies Now I don't know if this one is still going
to happen.
It was originally planned to lead up to a live action Aladdin movie but as you already
know Disney has already given us their live action take on Aladdin with Will Smith as
the genie.
Genies is said to be focused on the realm of genies and tells how the Genie ended up
enslaved in the lamp.
It's a unique prequel story but it seems like this one was gone up in smoke.
Who knows...if we get news about it, you will be the first to know!
But speaking of Aladdin...
7.
Aladdin 2 Now this one I am really excited for because
it really can go anywhere.
Aladdin was a huge success making over a billion dollars at the box office.
Since the release fans have be asking to see Return of Jafar but personally I'd like to
see the filmmakers use this opportunity to tell a whole new story with these characters,
especially since Return of Jafar was a horribly downgraded straight to video release.
The animation was just bad but anyway, a new story would be something much more exciting
or if anything the third film Prince of Thieves was pretty good!
It's all in early talks right now so if they end up making a sequel, it probably won't
be for several more years but we can maybe wish for it sooner!
6.
The Sword in the Stone It's been a long road for the Sword in the
Stone remake but it's finally coming together.
The movie is being written by Bryan Cogman from Game of Thrones and other noteable crew
include cinematographers from that Transformers spinoff Bumblebee and the live action remake
of Lady & The Tramp.
Sword in the Stone is a magical movie full of wizards, witches and squirrels!
It's also said that Disney is developing a Merlin saga!
Exciting times for fantasy adventure lovers!
The movie will be made for Disney+ and no release date is set.
5.
The Little Mermaid Disney will finally take audiences under the
sea in the epic story of The Little Mermaid.
The internet went crazy when they learned that Halle Bailey was cast as Ariel.
They are still going crazy but it's official and it's not changing.
Halle Bailey is talented and beautifully vibrant, perfect for the role of Ariel.
I cannot wait to see what she does with the character.
Jonah Hauer King will play the role of Prince Eric, Javier Bardem is in talks to play King
Triton with Melissa McCarthy all but confirmed to play the sea with Ursula, Jacob Tremblay
will voice flounder, the hilarious Awkwafinia will be Scuttle and Hamilton star Daveed Diggs
will be Sebastian.
This is a huge project as much of the movie takes places under the water and with special
fx technology improving every year, it's going to look amazing!
Can you believe the original animated film is over 30 years old?!
Wow time flies.
The Little Mermaid remake doesn't have a release date yet but it's definitely coming in the
next few years.
4.
Tink Tink is an upcoming movie giving us a different
perspective on the story of Peter Pan starring none other than Tinkerbell.
Reese Witherspoon is taking on the role of the fairy.
Finding Dory writer is penning the script which I'd love to see take viewers to Pixie
Hollow but it's rumored to follow the timeline of the original Peter Pan narrative.
No release date is set but this one shouldn't be more than a couple years away.
3.
Cruella Now we've seen 101 dalmations come to life
before and it was great.
Glen Close was the perfect Cruella Devil but now Disney wants to take it way back to when
Cruella was young at the start of her fashion career that ends up turning to the pooch.
Emma Stone stars as young Cruella and the promotional photo looks amazing.
It looks more edgy and modern.
Cruella looks punk rock stylish with her dogs...wait she likes dalmations?
Are these her pets?
We may finally get to see Cruella's dark ride into hating those 101 dalmations.
The film is set to be released on May 28, 2021 but that date might change.
2.
Mulan Disney is retelling the epic story of Mulan
and it's right around the corner.
Fans of the original animated classic might be a little upset to realize there is no Mushu
or singing in this version.
Disney has changed up a few things to make it less playful and more serious, focusing
on the original ballad of Mulan.
I'm a little sad that the luckdragon Mushu has been taken out of the movie but after
seeing the new trailer, he doesn't really fit.
Instead Mulan will have a falcon by her side.
Although all the magic isn't gone, the new villain is a shape shifting witch that will
definitely give Mulan a fight!
Mulan heads to battle on March 27, 2020.
1.
Lilo & Stitch So cute and fluffy!
Stitch is coming to life like never before in live action.
Experiment 626 escapes to Hawaii where he meets a little girl named Lilo who will introduce
him to being nice, how to surf, and of course Elvis.
It's nothing new to see fluffy animated characters come to life like Alvin & The Chipmunks, Pikachu
and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Stitch could look really scary as a photo realistic creature but I don't think Disney
will mess it up like the filmmakers did with original Sonic the Hedgehog design.
Luckily they fixed that.
Stitch could end up being the cutest digital creature ever...but he would be competing
with Baby Yoda who is just too darn adorable.
Well that wraps up our updated list for Disney live action movie remakes.
There are others that are rumored like Brother Bear, Chip n Dale and Rose Red but we tried
to keep the list as solid as possible.
What are you most excited to see come to life?
