Disney May Be Making A Live-Action ‘The Aristocats‘. According to the folks at WeGotThisCovered.com, it is highly possible that Disney is looking to remake the 1970 Disney Classic, The Aristocats.
Okay, we are all little overwhelmed with the amount of Disney live-action-remake ideas that are swirling around the internet, but I do have to say, I am so excited about this one! The Aristocats is one of my favorite Disney Movies to curl up on the couch and watch with my family.
For those who may not be familiar with the Disney Classic from 1970, here is a synopsis of the film: “When a retired opera singer leaves her inheritance to her cat, Duchess (Eva Gabor), and Duchess’s three kittens, the woman’s butler drugs the cats and abandons them in the countryside in order to inherit the fortune himself. Lost in unfamiliar territory, Duchess and the kittens meet Thomas O’Malley (Phil Harris), an alley cat willing to help them return to their home in Paris. They meet several kooky characters along the way, including two English geese and an alley cat jazz band.”
Disney has been met with both praise and criticism from fans for its decision to keep producing “live-action remakes” of the Disney Classics. But with films such as Aladdin (2019) and The Lion King (2019) both reaching over $1 billion in the global box office, it is unlikely Disney will stop the trend any time in the near future.
For now, the film is nearly in the concept stage and has not been assigned a director, writer, or theatrical release date. If the film does not make it to the big screen we could still see a live-action The Aristocats come to Disney+, the new streaming service for all things Disney launching November 12, 2019. If the film comes to fruition, The Aristocats will likely be styled similarly to The Lion King(2019) or Lady and the Tramp (2019) coming to Disney+.
