US EditionQuestlove Says ‘The Aristocats’ Live-Action Adaptation Has Been Scrapped At Disney: “Just Wasn’t Meant To Happen”
Disney shelved Questlove's live-action remake of 'The Aristocats' after multiple leadership changes disrupted the project's development over three years, Variety confirmed.
- On Aug. 20, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson revealed during Score: The Podcast that Disney has tabled his live-action adaptation of The Aristocats.
- Disney's repeated administration shuffles recently prompted Questlove's live-action/hybrid reimagining of The Aristocats to be removed from the studio's upcoming slate.
- The director added that Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson has 'over 20 projects' to pursue and plans to work on four films, prompting him to step away from his live-action/hybrid reimagining of The Aristocats.
- With the project shelved, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson chose to avoid the Disney remake pipeline for now, hoping it may happen later while focusing on other work, he said on Score: The Podcast.
- Despite this shelving, Disney is continuing remakes after Lilo & Stitch crossed $1 billion globally, and Moana plus others are planned for the coming years.
