In 2016, Walt Disney Pictures had re-acquired the film rights to The Chronicles of Prydain, on which the animated feature film The Black Cauldron was based, with the intention to adapt the book series into a live-action feature film series. The project was in early development at the Walt Disney Studios with no director, producer, or screenwriter attached yet. Since then, there has been no news about the project.[73]
A spin-off film of Aladdin focused on Prince Anders for Disney+ was announced in December 2019, with Billy Magnussen reprising his role.[74] After a time without news, Magnussen stated that the project was still in development in April 2021,[75] which he later clarified in the following year.[76]
In January 2022, Jennifer Lee revealed that Stella Meghie, writer and director of Tiana, wanted to develop a live-action adaptation of The Princess and the Frog.[77]
A prequel to Aladdin titled Genies, written by Mark Swift and Damian Shannon and produced by Tripp Vinson, was announced in 2015.[78] In March 2016, Disney announced a new feature film in development titled Rose Red, a live-action spin-off to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which was to be told from the perspective of Snow White's sister, Rose Red. The film was to be produced by Vinson and pitched by Justin Merz, based on a script by Evan Daugherty.[79] A live-action feature film based on Prince Charming (of Cinderella and other fairy tales), titled Charming, entered development in 2017 with Stephen Chbosky writing and directing.[80]
In 2019, Alan Menken suggested that the Disney Classic feature film Pocahontas would not have a live-action adaptation in the near future, since remaking Pocahontas would likely be impossible due to modern sensibilities.[81] In 2023, Menken further suggested that a planned live-action remake of The Hunchback of Notre Dame titled simply Hunchback, which was announced in January 2019 to be written by David Henry Hwang, produced by Josh Gad, David Hoberman, and Todd Lieberman (through Mandeville Films), and based on elements from both the animated feature film and Victor Hugo's novel,[82][83] was stalled for similar reasons.[84]
A live-action feature film adaptation of The Sword in the Stone entered development in July 2015, with Bryan Cogman writing the script and Brigham Taylor serving as producer. In January 2018, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo was announced as director.[85] The next month, it was revealed that the film would premiere exclusively on Disney+. Enrique Chediak joined to serve as the cinematographer in September, while Eugenio Caballero joined to serve as the production designer in December. However, in March 2024, Fresnadillo revealed that the project may not be happening anytime soon.[86]
Box office performance
Many Disney remakes rank along the highest grossing films upon their release; currently, The Lion King (9th), Beauty and the Beast (21st), Aladdin (41st), and Alice in Wonderland (47th) are on the list. The Lion King is also the highest grossing animated feature film of all time[lower-alpha 15] and the highest-grossing musical film of all time. It also set the record for the biggest opening for an animated film and a musical before The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Frozen II surpassed the records respectively.
