At this point, let’s just go ahead and assume every single Disney animated feature will be re-adapted into a live-action film. You’d think Disney would have taken the hint when SNL parodied their remake-mania this past weekend:
But no. With THR’s report about a new version of Mulan in the works, I’m going to go ahead and list Disney’s upcoming live-action remake schedule for the next ten years (excluding Mulan, since we don’t have a confirmed director). That way, we won’t have to write any more news articles on the subject. This is from a totally confidential document I snagged when I was hired to maintain the temperature control on Walt’s frozen head.
