Don’t expect the reboot craze to stop any time soon. Fresh off the heels of Disney’s extremely profitable recent live-action remakes, the studio is making plans to keep on redoing their animated films for years to come. In fact, according to our sources – the same ones who told us an Aladdin sequel was in development, and that Marvel was developing a She-Hulk show – executives at the company are eying a revitalization of the 2004 flick Home on the Range. Just like Dumbo and the upcoming Brother Bear reimagining, the few human characters in the movie will likely be real people, while the animals will be animated in a style similar to The Lion King. Further details on the proposed Home on the Range remake haven’t been made available just yet, but our sources assure us that it’s on Disney’s ever-growing list of titles that they hope to get to. When they’ll get around to actually making it, we can’t say, but as soon as we learn more we’ll be sure to let you know.
I would actually prefer this movie as live action over something like Brother Bear. At least it doesn't try to take itself seriously and doesn't try to be more than it is. It does tell you that crime will have consequences and that there is no place like home, but beyond that there are no moral lessons or any of the things that became more common during the Lasseter era. It's meant to be just fun, which I find refreshing.
