Scrapped and stalled projects
A prequel to Aladdin titled Genies, written by Mark Swift and Damian Shannon and produced by Tripp Vinson, was announced in 2015. A spin-off film of Aladdin focused on Prince Anders for Disney+ was announced in December 2019, with Billy Magnussen reprising his role. After a time without news, Magnussen stated that the project was still in development in April 2021, which he later clarified in the following year.A live-action feature film adaptation of The Sword in the Stone entered development in July 2015, with Bryan Cogman writing the script and Brigham Taylor serving as producer. In January 2018, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo was announced as director. The next month, it was revealed that the film would premiere exclusively on Disney+. Enrique Chediak joined to serve as the cinematographer in September, while Eugenio Caballero joined to serve as the production designer in December. However, in March 2024, Fresnadillo revealed that the project was scrapped.
In 2016, Walt Disney Pictures re-acquired the film rights to The Chronicles of Prydain, on which the animated feature film The Black Cauldron was based, with the intention to adapt the book series into a live-action feature film series. The project was in early development at the Walt Disney Studios with no director, producer, or screenwriter attached yet. Since then, there has been no news about the project.
In March 2016, Disney announced a new feature film in development titled Rose Red, a live-action spin-off to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which was to be told from the perspective of Snow White's sister, Rose Red. The film was to be produced by Vinson and pitched by Justin Merz, based on a script by Evan Daugherty. A live-action feature film based on Prince Charming, entitled Charming, entered development in 2017 with Stephen Chbosky as writer and director.
In 2019, Alan Menken suggested that the feature film Pocahontas would not have a live-action adaptation in the near future, since remaking Pocahontas would likely be impossible due to modern sensibilities. In 2023, Menken further suggested that a planned live-action remake of The Hunchback of Notre Dame titled simply Hunchback, which was announced in January 2019 to be written by David Henry Hwang, produced by Josh Gad, David Hoberman, and Todd Lieberman, and based on elements from both the animated feature film and Victor Hugo's novel, was stalled for similar reasons.
A live-action feature film adaptation of Robin Hood entered development in early 2020, with Kari Granlund writing the screenplay, Justin Springer producing, and Carlos López Estrada as the director.
During that month, it was also announced that a live-action remake of The Aristocats was in development with Will Gluck producing under his Olive Bridge Entertainment banner and Keith Bunin writing the script with Gluck. Questlove was attached to direct the film in March 2023. In August 2025, Questlove revealed that Disney was no longer moving forward with the film.
