Are Disney Studios announcing too many movies and series? The cancellation of several projects, such as this remake of The Sword in the Stone, would tend to suggest that they need to slow down the pace and make them official little by little. Especially since they are taking the risk of alienating fans,annoyed to see more and more prequels, remakes and other live-action fall to the wayside. water.
this series The very promising Disney+ series will never see the light of day…
… Unless a miracle happens, of course, which is never out of the question! As you know, since the early 2000s, Disney has focused on live-action versions of its classics, a profitable way to recycle its cult stories. By modernizing them, the company makes them attractive to a new generation, while pleasing older viewers, who see them as a Proust Madeleine. From Alice in Wonderland to The Jungle Book, through Aladdin or The Lion King, the formula has allowed studios to make some hits at the box office. One of them, Beauty and the Beast, was to be adapted into a Disney+ series, centered on the characters of Gaston and the Fool.
Announced in 2020, this promising project will never see the light of day. Luke Evans, who plays Gaston, confirmed that the prequel series is “unfortunately not on the table” for the moment to our colleagues at Out. Which, in more explicit terms, means that the public will never explore the friendship between Beauty's suitor and his sidekick, the Fool (Josh Gad). Too bad, because the Disney+ series, teased as a six-episode musical, had piqued the interest of viewers. After the cancellation of the Aladdin sequel, as well as a Pixar spin-off, the big-eared company should review its policy in terms of announcements!
