Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While most of Disney's live-action remakes have been fairly faithful adaptations of an earlier animated movie, one potential project has the opportunity to tweak the formula – staying true to the spirit of the original, while also becoming the studio's first proper horror movie. This approach would be a radical step for Disney, since it has built its brand on family-friendly entertainment.

Related Disney's Upcoming Movie Releases - From 2023 To 2027 Between Pixar, the MCU, Star Wars, 20th Century Studios, and the famed animated studio, Disney has several exciting releases slated up to 2027. The Black Cauldron Can Be A Proper Disney Horror Close Perhaps the darkest of Disney's traditionally animated movies, The Black Cauldron is the perfect film to reimagine as the studio's first proper horror.

Remaking The Black Cauldron Is A Great Opportunity A potential Black Cauldron remake would work on two fronts. From Disney's perspective, it would be a real opportunity for the studio to re-embrace the darkness that made most of its early films so appealing. Even though the studio is understandably associated with child-friendly storytelling, its greatest movies have always included legitimately horrifying scenes.

The Black Cauldron Would Fix A Disney Remake Problem Because The Black Cauldron is so flawed and proved to be such a problem for Disney in 1985, the movie actually represents the best way for the studio to approach its remakes moving forward. Thus far, Disney's live-action adaptations have focused on revisiting beloved classics.
