10 Upcoming Movie Remakes NOBODY Wants
2. Moana
The Lion King isn't the only remake currently in production over at Disney, as Moana is set to join the likes of fellow princesses Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Belle, Mulan, and Ariel in live-action in 2025.
Moana is arguably one of the best Disney Princesses out there, and her first outing is genuinely outstanding. However, it only released in 2016. While some of the rebooted movies have brought into the 21st century some of the more dated Disney stories and characters, there is no reason to recreate something that is not even a decade old yet.
Audiences love Moana. Recently Moana 2 was surprisingly revealed with a release date of November 2024, which will see the return of the titular character alongside Maui the Demigod. This has the potential to be a wonderful continuation of a strong character and story, but it does go even further in making the live-action version completely redundant.
It would be bad enough to release a reboot just nine years after the original, but within 12 months of the animated sequel just doesn't make sense, and runs the very real risk of audiences becoming bored with the character.
