10 Movies That Just Got Cancelled

8. The Aristocats Live-Action Remake

In 2022, Disney announced that they were set to produce a live-action remake of their beloved 1970 animated musical comedy The Aristocats.

While on paper this seemed like one of the trickier Disney classics to adapt into live-action form, it was tough not to be intrigued when musician-filmmaker Questlove was hired to both direct and develop the remake's music.

Word went deathly quiet on the film in the years that followed, though, until this past August, when Questlove flatly confirmed that the remake had been scrapped, citing numerous regime changes at Disney causing the film to get nixed.

Given that Disney is taking a more conservative approach to their live-action remakes following the box office failure of Snow White earlier this year - prompting them to even pause a remake of hit animation Tangled - it's not terribly surprising that they've tabled a trickier adaptation of one of their less-mainstream animations.

All the same, it certainly would've been interesting to see Questlove's singular take on this material.
