Add another Disney classic to the list of upcoming remakes [1]. Following in the footsteps of The Lion King [2], Dumbo [3], and Lady and the Tramp [4], the 1973 animated film Robin Hood will be getting a live-action/CG update [5], according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The remake — led by Blindspotting director Carlos López Estrada and Lady and the Tramp (2019) writer Kari Granlund — is still in early development, but it is expected to be a musical like Disney's original. Robin Hood features a cast of cartoon animals — Robin Hood is a fox, Little John is a bear, Prince John is a lion, and Friar Tuck is a badger — and we expect the reboot will follow suit. There are plenty of details still unknown about next steps, but we're excited to return to Nottingham soon!
