The Disney Animation Live Action Adaptation In Development List


- Hercules

It's not a cinematic universe but it is sprawling enough to be as much work as one. Disney's slate of live action adaptations is now as heavy as that of its Marvel output and the average going forward seems to be 3-4 movies per year. As has been the case so far, some are straight recreations, some are semi-sequels, some are reimaginings and some are inspired by but all use a Disney animated classic as their focus point.

The latest to receive a development is The Little Mermaid.

The film is said to be a mixed adaptation of the original Anderson story and the animated movie, Disney is reported to have offered the role of Ariel to Zendaya

I just want to go on record and state that I really, really, really, undeniably, totally and unquestionably despise the term "cinematic universe".

Just so you know.

[Neon Ignition]

Blame Marvel!
An at least this isn't one, just less thread cluttering

[Dogg Thang]

It's not Marvel who assigned it to EVERY SINGLE THING EVER! I have checked worldwide and only one person does that. JUST ONE, SF!

[Neon Ignition]

Only because it's clearer than the marketing depts. avoidance (i.e The Conjuring Universe, The DC Extended Universe, Arrowverse etc)

I'm like Sam Beckett, putting right what once went wrong

[Dogg Thang]

Ha! Wait... is there a Quantum Leap Cinematic Universe?!

[Neon Ignition]

Give it time, I'm sure it'd be brought back as a rebooted revival sequel series and movie joint project of interconnected stories

[teddymeow]

Ha! Wait... is there a Quantum Leap Cinematic Universe?!

Don't make me come over there and slap you!!

Disney's self inflicted rule about not adapting any animated film post 2000 lasted all of five minutes as it turns out Lilo & Stitch is being made into a live action movie. It's unknown as yet if it will go to cinemas or to the upcoming Disney streaming service

[Lyris]

Oh man. That film is close to me. I really hope they don't bugger it up but I can't see it working as anything other than 2D animation.

Disney is said to be pursuing Lady Gaga to play Ursula in The Little Mermaid

And the first poster for Aladdin is out, the tagline highlighting the street rats mission to select the correct Holy Grail...

[Neon Ignition]

Doesn't show much but here's the first teaser for Aladdin

[Dogg Thang]

I don't get why their trailers look so gloomy. The Dumbo trailer feels like a horror film. Even the Mary Poppins trailer, while bright, is eerily slow like it's setting up something nasty. The focus on the scary cave here feels weird to me.
