It’s no secret that Disney has decided to go all-in on its live-action remakes. While the remakes technically began all the way back in 1994 with Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, Disney really started making live-action remakes a priority in 2015 with the remake of Cinderella. Since then, Disney has made nearly a dozen live-action remakes, including Beauty and the Beast (2017), Aladdin (2019), The Little Mermaid (2023), and Lilo & Stitch (2025).Disney also plans many live-action remakes in the near future.

Disney was unable to combat these issues, and the movie was a massive flop, costing the studio more than $100 million.Credit: DisneyRelated: Disney Says Next Live-Action Remakes Are Best in Years Following ‘Snow White’ BombShortly after Snow White hit theaters and its box office failure was clear, Disney announced that it was pausing plans for its live-action Tangled remake. The remake was first announced back in December, with The Greatest Showman (2017) director Michael Gracey attached and Thor: Love and Thunder writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson working on a script.While it was disappointing to hear that Snow White was the reason for production on Tangled being halted, new reports indicate that the movie may still have some life behind the scenes.According to Disney insider Daniel Richtman, Disney may decide to revive the remake should its Moana live-action remake find success with audiences.Credit: DisneyRelated: Controversial Starlet Reveals ‘Tangled’ Live-Action AuditionThe live-action remake of Disney’s first Polynesian princess is scheduled to hit theaters on July 10, 2026.
