Disney has made another big announcement regarding their film project list. According to the latest report from The DisInsider, several major titles that were previously announced have now officially been canceled. This decision has become a hot topic among film lovers and Disney fans.

The three projects of popular live-action films, namely ALADDIN 2, MALEFICENT 3, and THE JUNGLE BOOK 2, are no longer part of the studio's active production agenda. Disney seems to prefer focusing on new projects that are considered more promising. What are the replacement projects currently in development? To find out, let's take a look at the following review.

1. Three Live-Action Projects Canceled

Disney has officially canceled the development of three major live-action sequel films: ALADDIN 2, MALEFICENT 3, and THE JUNGLE BOOK 2. Not only that, the QUEEN OF HEARTS project has also been halted. This decision is strongly suspected to be a response to the success of the live-action version of LILO & STITCH, which is nearing a global box office of $1 billion.

The tremendous success of LILO & STITCH has prompted Disney to shift its focus to films that are considered to have similar potential. The studio has chosen to prioritize projects with fresher appeal and a broader global market.

2. Status of Other Live-Action Films

Although several major projects have been canceled, Disney is still retaining some other titles. The SNOW QUEEN project, which was once an original idea, will now be re-adapted as a faithful live-action version of the film FROZEN. This title remains on Disney's main radar.

Meanwhile, CRUELLA 2 is still planned. Both Disney and the previous film's creators are interested in returning, but production has yet to begin due to the busy schedules of all parties involved at this time.

3. Other Newly Announced Live-Action Film Projects

Disney has also officially announced LILO & STITCH 2 as a follow-up project after the huge success of the first film. The studio is also developing a new project based on the character WINNIE-THE-POOH, which is expected to bring new life to this classic franchise.

In addition to live-action projects, a lineup of animated films from Pixar has also been announced. Some of these include HOPPERS, TOY STORY 5, GATTO, THE INCREDIBLES 3, and COCO 2.

4. Disney's Focus Shifts to Other More Promising Projects

With the cancellation of several live-action sequel projects, Disney is now choosing to focus on three main films that are deemed to have great prospects. These are MOANA, TANGLED, and LILO & STITCH 2, each of which will have a live-action version made.

The three were chosen based on fanbase strength, global commercial value, and significant potential in the family market. The success of LILO & STITCH serves as strong evidence that these stories are still very relevant for re-development.
