Disney's live-action 'The Princess and the Frog'

[ranger_scout]

A live-action film based on The Princess and the Frog is in the works. Coleman Domingo and Robert O'Hara are in talks to write the script. I'm surprised they didn't do this one before Moana, which was way too soon.

Brillant another bomb. When will Disney learn?

Seems it's now a Disney+ exclusive with the original cast returning

But this is for an "animated special." Not a live-action thing.

Seems like it'll be more of a "straight to streaming/video/DVD".

Not unlike the straight VHS sequels of Cinderella, Aladdin or the Little Mermaid.

Giving off strong "Return of Jafar" vibes.

Keep the budget low, keep the story good, this sounds like a better idea than another live action remake.
