Is Disney Considering a Live-Action 'Little Mermaid'?
The trend of Disney transforming your favorite animated films into live adaptations just won't end, as the company is now thinking about making 1989's The Little Mermaid into a live-action remake. According to Deadline, major production executives connected to the studio have discussed the idea of reviving the Hans Christian Anderson fable.
The idea is a smart one business-wise, as The Little Mermaid is one of the biggest films from Disney's Golden Age and could be just as big (or even bigger) as last months's The Jungle Book, whose live adaptation has grossed $860 million worldwide.
It will also follow the live remake of Beauty and the Beast, which arrives in March 2017. But while new twists on old classics are exciting, do we really need another The Little Mermaid film?
