Moana
It ’s no secret that Disney has been on a resilient - action - remaking kicking , but the announcement thatMoanawill be its next prominent adaptation opens up the possibility for other more late animated moving picture . Most celluloid remade thus far have been Disney ’s classics , which benefit from a more New angle . This allow for many assuming their newer projects would n’t see a unrecorded - action at law interlingual rendition for at least another decade . However , others will likely follow ifDisney has selected Moanaas a viable option .
In an endearing video featuring his two young daughter , Dwayne Johnson announced aMoanaremakeis in the other stages of output . The actor will be taking on the function of Maui again after only six years , which is the soonest that the House of Mouse has made a unrecorded - action adaptation . antecedently , it had been take over that Disney ’s 3-D repair moving-picture show would n’t experience a remake since part of the charm is the transformation from traditional invigoration to more naturalistic particular effects . So , theMoananews has opened the room access to other possible action .
5The Princess & The Frog (2009)
The Princess and the Frogwas one of Disney ’s last traditionally animate film , so a live - action version has been among the more requested by hearing . However , since this version of the Graeco-Roman fairytale was already a more modern retelling , it did n’t seem like Disney would bother . Movies likeThe Little MermaidandAladdinhad some plot aspects that had aged poorly , so they were first in job for a remake — so it seemed as if Tiana and her prince would have to wait .
However , with the news program about aMoanaremake , there no longer seems to be an apology forThe Princess and the Frogto wait much longer for its twist . Moana ’s story put its centering in all the proper place , and it ’s unlikely that much will need to be change to make it appeal to New audiences . Therefore , ifMoanacan do it , The Princess and the Frogcan also . The fact that the voyager princess set about her animated film seven year after Tiana got hers proves it ’s only a matter of time .
4Tangled (2010)
LikePrincess and the Frogwas Disney ’s last traditionally animise princess , Rapunzel fromTangledwas their first in 3D. The gold - haired stunner continued the trend of creating an entirelydifferent report than the original Rapunzel fairytale , which meant that Rapunzel became the torpedo of her own narrative while her " prince " took a 2d seat . It was a cute twist that made the musical theme of a live - action at law remaking seem unneeded . Little more can be changed , and the beautiful animation will in all likelihood digest the test of time .
However , likeMoana , the benefit of givingTangleda springy - activity remake would be the chance to see iconic character in the flesh . As well as Rapunzel herself , Flynn Rider and Mother Gothel ’s characters make for some fantabulous cast opportunities ( Meryl Streep as the villain would be a friction match made in heaven ) . What ’s more , the princess ' farseeing lock would imply a terrible challenge for Disney ’s hairsbreadth / composition team and the special effect section — so it may be worth it just for that .
3Frozen (2013)
Frozenhas become one of Disney ’s most successful animated flick . The franchise is still move strong , with theconfirmedFrozen 3expected to pip theaters sometime in 2025 . It ’s difficult to imagine that even the firstFrozenmovie would take in a live - action mechanism adjustment until Anna and Elsa ’s story was wrapped up for skillful . But , since the forthcoming installing is expect to beFrozen ’s last — andMoanais proving that a pic ’s eld is n’t much of an issue — the next big shift key for the wildly popular franchise may be earlier rather than later .
The most considerable appeal for remakingMoanais the particular burden necessary to produce the self-directed sea , transforming islands , and mystifying behemoth . It could intend aLife of Pi - degree production , which will impress if done correctly . So , by this same logical system , Frozenshould be the next in line . Elsa ’s ice business leader have wowed audience for going on three films . If brought to live - action , the spectacle could only meliorate .
2Raya & The Last Dragon (2021)
Raya and the Last Dragonis another beautifully animated spectacle , but it was importantly less successful thanFrozen . The picture , revolutionise by several Asiatic cultures and mythology , has been regarded as a financial collapse , likely because of its liberation during the COVID pandemic . However , if anything , this rig it up well for a live - activity remake . Raya and the Last Dragonhad important messagesand root word , and the cultural and linguistic representation makes it an important addition to the Disney Princess franchise .
Another cause thatMoanamight have been selected for a live - action remaking , despite the moving picture ’s age , is the ethnic representation that it brings . The problem with only accommodate the sure-enough classics is that it means a lot of live - action movies with either white leash or an barrage of criticism for changing a character ’s wash ( as construe with Ariel inThe Little Mermaid ) . By adapting more recent Disney movies , which have far more BIPOC character , the studio can paint a more diverse picture . This makesRayajust as valuable a possibility asMoana .
1Encanto (2021)
Encantois another Disney flick that took the world by storm . The unique story , unbelievably catchy music , and entrance use of magical realism strike just the veracious chord with audiences . gratuitous to say , Mirabel ’s taradiddle left everyone wanting more . Still , with thepossibility ofEncanto 2seeming less likely , theMoananews may indicate that a alive - legal action adaptation will be the film ’s next footstep . EncantoandMoanahave something in common that makes them all the more likely to take a interchangeable way — music by Lin - Manuel Miranda .
Miranda has become something like royal family in songwriting , and his relationship with Disney has grow stronger . BothMoanaandEncantoblew audiences aside with their call . The idea of these musical numbers pool being adapted into something more like a stage production ( like Manuel’sHamilton ) is almost too pleasant-tasting to pass up . These performances are the kind of thing audience will have to look forward to inMoana , so there is no cause thatEncantocan’t keep up .
