I'm not sold on the necessity of HERCULES getting the live action treatment, but Grace Randolph (a YouTube personality who I tend to enjoy) had a suggestion of Vince Vaughn for Hades, which is so perfect it would almost get me interested.

Don't underestimate how much people loved the animated movie. I know a quite a few people that say this is their favorite Disney movie.

I don't underestimate it! It's a fun movie.

I guess I really should have said, "I'm not sold on the necessity of any further animated classics getting the live action treatment!"

Well, Disney's going to keep remaking their animated movies until they run out of movies to remake. It's just part of how they run their studio now. They just released two of them that both went well over $1B last year so people love these remakes. They're four-quadrant movies.

One movie I really wish they would remake if their going to keep doing this though is Black Cauldron. I have a feeling that The Black Cauldron could actually be really good in live action.

Supposedly, we're getting a Disney+ TV series.

It’s in my top 5 (#4, actually).

As long as they stick with it being a musical and keep Danny Devito as Phil, I’m happy.

This would be insanely perfect casting:

Hi.

This could potentially be really good. Happy to see them tackle the 'lower tier' as in not as financially sucessful or impactful animation titles as I think there is more they can improve on for live action.

I'd really like to see them do Atlantis: the lost empire as that would open up lots of potential theme park attractions.
