Is it a Musical? Too early to say, but we would imagine it won’t be.
Worth it? There are so many King Arthur movies out there already, so on the one hand, it makes a lot of sense for Disney to produce a new version of their 1963 film which looked at his youthful adventures with Merlin. On the other hand, do we really need another telling of this tale?
Pinocchio
Crew: The only name attached so far is writer Peter Hedges, previously of About a Boy and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?
Cast: N/A
Is it a Musical? Quit asking that question, will ya? We don’t know!
Worth it? Much like Dumbo, Pinocchio is one of Disney’s oldest movies, so a reboot has the potential to make the classic story accessible to a new generation of children again, who otherwise might be put off by the previous one’s age. There’s a lot of inherent darkness in the tale, though, which will be interesting to see brought out – if they choose to include it.
