In other live action remakes, Mulan is arriving this year and they've confirmed work on Aladdin sequel and also on Bambi live action movie and new Pinochio, with 101 Dalmatians being turned into a movie on Cruella De Vil's youth with Emma Stone. Little Mermaid has already caused the wrath of fans due to blackwashing the lead character.
