6. Peter Pan

We've already had a number of live-action takes on J.M. Barrie's classic story, from Steven Spielberg's Hook to Joe Wright's critically panned Pan, but Disney's 1950s animated version remains the definitive take - a fact they're looking to capitalise on with a new reimagining.

This comes from David Lowery, who did great work on Pete's Dragon but has also made his name with smaller, stranger beasts like A Ghost Story. He's promised to make this a rollicking adventure, which is exactly as it should be, but with plenty of emotional heft too. Think happy thoughts, and this one has the potential to really fly.
