Disney remakes: These are all the Disney movie remakes heading to cinemas

Disney has proven they can take any classic tale and remake it, to higher and lesser degrees of success. While new content is always in development, like the upcoming Soul from Pixar, plundering their vintage content is now an expected move from the mouse-house. This is a list of the upcoming Disney remakes, sequels, and live-action adaptations of their classic hits.

The Lion King

Coming out on July 19, 2019, The Lion King has an incredible cast featuring the likes of Beyoncé and James Earl Jones.

Other cast members include Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and John Oliver.

The remake will almost entirely follow the plot of the classic tale, if slightly darker for the live-action/CGI filmmaking style.

The Little Mermaid

Disney has made a positive step forward in casting R&B singer Halle Bailey as Ariel in their upcoming Little Mermaid adaptation.

So far the only other confirmed star is Awkawfina as Scuttle, and the film is still in development.

In talks for the role of Ursula is Melissa McCarthy, with Jacob Tremblay in talks for the role of Flounder.

Lady and the Tramp

After a flurry of news surrounding musician Janelle Monae’s casting, Disney has been relatively quiet about the CGI adaptation of Lady and the Tramp.

The film will head straight to Disney’s new streaming service, Disney Plus.

Cruella

Much like Maleficent, 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella is getting her own origin story flick, set in the 1980s.

I, Tonya’s director Craig Gillespie is set to direct the live-action remake, though there is no release date set as of yet.

So far Emma Stone and Emma Thompson are the only two names associated with the project.

Stone has been confirmed as Cruella de Vil, but Thompson is only rumoured to be playing a Baroness.

Other films in development include Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Inspector Gadget, James and the Giant Peach, Lilo and Stitch, Oliver Twist, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, The Second Jungle Book, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Splash, The Sword in the Stone, Tink, Three Men and a Baby, and Tron.
