Disney is remaking The Black Cauldron, apparently. They re-acquired the rights to Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain a year or two ago, and announced plans to develop them into a live action fantasy franchise. We'll see if anything develops.
If they remake The Little Mermaid they should change the ending so that Eric turns into a merman into the end instead of Ariel becoming human, just for the hell of it.
(I may or may not have been hoping for a similar twist in the Beauty and the Beast remake, with Belle turning into a beast-woman in the end and the whole village turning into furniture-people.)

Shrek beat them to it.
But who doesn't want to see Emma Watson turned into a horned CGI Beast-woman?
Our Favorite Cowgirl, er, Mare
How about remaking Chicken Little? It's already considered to be as bad or even worse than The Black Cauldron.

I think that one is pretty unsalvageable.

I'll be up for it if you can get live-action farm animals to reenact the film.
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."
Wouldn't that work better for Home on the Range?
Is it wrong that I thought the Cold Opening to Chicken Little was hilarious? Things go downhill from there, but that was a funny setup.
"But it... big acorn lebefluh...?
But yeah, that era was not a good one for Disney Animated Canon (even Disneytoon were making what could have been better applicants at the time, such as the Mickey Three Musketeers movie, or more lavish sequels like the Bambi or non-TV canon Lilo and Stitch one).

The King Without a Kingdom
Brother Bear would be a nice one to remake. Just get rid of the stereotypically Canadian moose, and it'll be good.
It's been 3000 years…
Well they've already practiced with CGI bears I suppose.

They were just retreads of Bob and Doug Mc Kenzie anyway.

"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."
Still just awesome like that
Can you really call them retreads when those guys provided their voices?
Professional Moldy Fig/Curmudgeon
I can, because it was two pretty funny comedians (of course, everyone who was a cast member on SCTV were great comedians) pretty much rehashing something they'd already done, which is a pretty bad use of their talents.
Compare this to the way they used another great Canadian comedian in Lilo And Stitch the year before and you see a huge difference.

Meh. I disagree.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
I thought that the whole point of the moose in Brother Bear was that they were Bob and Doug Mac Kenzie. That's more along the lines of an homage than a retread.

New trailer tomorrow!
Tease today!

I would love a live-action remake of Atlantis: The Lost Empire. And maybe Treasure Planet.
Trust you? The only person I can trust is myself.
From thief to hero
New trailer dropped today.
That crash still looks pretty brutal. Also, watch for Chick Hicks at the very end. (I wonder how he'll factor into the plot?)
"Don't worry, Lucian, we'll make it through this."
1. It appears Lightning's crash wasn't an accident, but intentional by his management who forced him to throw the race purely to boost his sales. That's what I'm taking from the first line in the trailer anyway. A very un-Disney message about corporations implying that legacies are rigged.
2. The moral about the race not being about the "stuff" but about "winning" not only sounds like it's recycled from the first movie, but erased the concept about how you don't have to win in order to experience life.
Still just awesome like that
Aside from the corporate satire stuff, it looks like a '90s sports movie the way they're advertising it.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
That doesn't look like the moral of the movie. Lightning is clearly uncomfortable with it from the get go, we see him confront his agent about it, and the agent points out that the real reason is he thinks Lightning is on his way out and that the stuff is the only way to keep the McQueen brand going.
The moral seems to be the choice between comfortable retirement and fading away among false accolades and merchandising, or continuing to race and take the chance to succeed (or even fail) even though its hard.

Random nostalgia trip. Anyone else have some of these read along cassettes when they were kids?
