What the fuck, Disney.
Lassetter, you brought down the age of the cheapquels, and yet now you don't say a single word about this? What did they do to you, man?
Ok... what?

Well, Lassetter only has control over the animated film divisions. The Disney live action movies are overseen by other people, so I doubt he has much say over the Disney remakes. <<;
Paddington (another live-action movie about a talking bear that many people expected to be bad) got 98% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, so it might technically be good if they get someone like Paul King as director.
I'm doubtful it's going to be good, though.
Trope on a Rope
Pooh in live action, yeah cause that worked out so well the last time:
To be fair, Disney in the early 80's was in a dire situation. That is just one of the many examples of that 'dark' period.
@OP: Only if they pump out, say, three adaptations in a row, in a short period of days. Disney is being a bit desperate, but let's wait. They might simply Dumbo, Mulan and this one in order to test things out.

Will this could either be the next Paddington, or the next Yogi...
Why don't they do something that makes sense in live action, like Tarzan, or hell, Aladdin. That would be freaking amazing in live action (though I suppose no Robin Williams could mean no genie 
).

Tarzan is a no go. The Burroughs state doesn't want to lend the license to Disney anymore.

Dammit. That sucks.
But they let that German studio making that movie with really creepy looking mo-cap or CGI or whatever it was...?
"If I reach for the stars, you can't hold me back"
(Shrugs).
Who knows their reasons, but after Tarzan 2 they pulled the license away from Disney; that's why Tarzan disappeared from the Kingdom Hearts franchise too.
Don't mock the shocker
David Yates (of Harry Potter fame) is currently shooting (or maybe he's done already idk) a Tarzan movie for Warner (I think). Margot Robbie, Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson are among the cast.
Anyway, this is probably an even stupider idea than live-action Dumbo.
Sing the song of sixpence that goes burn the witch, we know where you live
The Book of Pooh was also live-action, BTW. 
Anyways, this projects reeks of desperation on Disney's part. Alex Ross Perry might be a talented guy, but I don't think this is where his career should head.
I thought this was an April Fool's joke, at first.
May the Fourth, yeah yeah.
Cindy.....Beauty..... Jungle Book...... Pooh...... Mulan......
How many movies is Disney doing again?
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!
Presumably, they're going through all the big classics.
At least, they won't revisit 101 Dalmatians, because Glenn Close is still memorable as Cruela De Vil.
I'm still waiting for a non-musical, live action, dramatised Frozen. But I hate Frozen cause it's a musical
If they're going there, they'd better do it while the actress from Once Upon A Time still can play Elsa.
Mr. Dr.
Just found out about this.
So apparently from what I've read, this ass-trocity will feature A CGI Pooh and will focus on Adult Christopher Robin as he returns to the English forest.
What. The. #&?% Disney.

The important thing to ask is whether or not the film will top Pooh's greatest live-action adventure.
I thought that title belonged to this one:
The Neutral One
Time to bring this thread back to life.
Personally, I'd prefer if the 'net was a little friendlier, but you know the GIFT...
Disasturbator
You can actually see Owl briefly in the trailer around the 1:20 mark.
I heard this will also focus on bits of World War 2, since the real life Christopher Robin was also a veteran of that war.
We really should make a Live-Action Disney thread for all these instead of starting new threads for every single one.
