The Aristocats Score a Live-Action Film
The Aristocats has made the list of live-action films Disney is developing. Not much is known about the film, only that it’s in its early stages of development.
Will Gluck, who directed the Peter Rabbit series, and Easy A, will be responsible for both directing and writing the script. Keith Bunin, who helped with the movie Onward, will help Gluck write the film. While Olive Bridge Entertainment is producing the movie. The cast and plot are currently unknown, but the film will supposedly have a similar style to the 2019 live-action Lady and the Tramp movie.
They’re making a live version of my favorite Disney movie The Aristocats 😻

Disney has a long list of animated movies adapted into live-action. Cruella, Aladdin, Lady and the Tramp, and The Lion King have been adapted most recently. The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and Snow White are some of the films in the works.

(Not to be confused with The AristoCRATS, which I loved as an adult.) https://t.co/q9eJwGxvbG
The original film debuted in 1970. The movie follows Dutchess, a spoiled cat, and her kittens, Berlioz, Marie, and Toulouse, who live in Paris with retired opera singer Adelaide Bonfamile and butler Edgar. When Edgar learns that the cats will be receiving the fortunes after Adelaide dies, he devises a plan to get rid of the cats; this plan includes him kidnapping and abandoning the cats in the countryside. While there, Dutchess meets an alley cat named Tom O’Malley, who teams up with her and her family to help them find their way back home.
This oughta be interesting since The Aristocats was definitely one of my favorite movies as a kid so I’m honestly intrigued on how this will turn out 🙂😊 https://t.co/f6cfJ0TRpx
