Overview
- Disney has not announced the project, and current coverage characterizes the idea as unverified speculation.
- The reported concept would shift the story’s setting from medieval France to Mexico for a new live-action interpretation.
- Fan and trade-adjacent outlets, including Disney Dining, DisneyFanatic, and Inside the Magic, cite insider and social-media sourcing rather than official confirmation.
- The chatter arrives during ongoing scrutiny of Disney’s remake slate after mixed outcomes, with 'Snow White' reportedly losing about $115 million while other titles such as 'The Lion King,' 'Aladdin,' and 'Lilo & Stitch' performed strongly.
- Commentary highlights both the potential for culturally specific storytelling and the risk of backlash over perceived 'woke' changes to a classic property.
