Long In Development Little Mermaid Movie Loses Sofia Coppola As Director

It might seem peculiar, given Hollywoods current fascination with live-action adaptations of classic fairy tales (see: Cinderella, Alice In Wonderland, Malfeicent and the forthcoming Pan and The Jungle Book) that The Little Mermaid gotten a modern day take yet. However, trying to merge live-action actors with the underwater environments that much of the story takes place in would be a tricky proposition. Not an impossible one though, which is why a new film based on Hans Christian Andersons tale has been in development for a while.

But today, Walt Disney Animation Studios finally unveiled their other 2016 project, Moana, the newest movie from Ron Clements and John Musker!

Editorial: Disney Needs To Start Rereleasing Their Classic Animated Movies To Theaters Again

I watched The Jungle Book last night for the umpteenth time last night, but let me tell you, that movie never gets old. On the contrary, it gets better with each viewing. It's actually a much more mature tale of coming of age than many give it credit for, and its upbeat atmosphere is beyond infectious. One thing I did wonder (besides some peculiar choices in terms of color on the Platinum Edition DVD) is how great the film would look on the big screen.
