Disney Rumored to Develop 'Aurora,' a Mexican-Set Reimagining of 'Sleeping Beauty'

The unannounced project is driving a viral X conversation focused on cultural authenticity and Disney’s reliance on remakes.

Overview

  • Industry insider @DanielRPK is cited as the source of the claim, which was amplified by the @Cosmic_Marvel account on X on November 4.
  • Disney has not issued an announcement or confirmation, and no official details about the film’s format or creative team have been disclosed.
  • Early reactions feature pushback urging Disney to create an original Mexican or Latina princess rather than reframe a European fairytale.
  • Some commenters express interest only if Mexican history, folklore, and artistry are meaningfully integrated rather than applied as a surface change.
  • Coverage situates the rumor within scrutiny of Disney’s remake strategy after the Snow White/Rachel Zegler controversy and contrasts it with praise for culturally rooted originals like Encanto and Coco.
