Disney's Next Live-Action Remake May Be THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG; Original Cast Member Comments

Disney's live-action remakes remain a big draw when it comes to the studio's theatrical offerings, and The Princess and the Frog may be up next! However, this is the first one cast member has heard...

Disney has found a huge amount of success with its live-action retellings of classic animated movies, and while The Hunchback of Notre Dame has seemingly stalled, a Tangled remake is now thought to be in the works.

That's not all, though, as the House of Mouse is reportedly forging ahead with a new take on The Princess and the Frog as well. The animated movie was a moderate hit when it was released in 2009 and broke new ground for Disney by introducing its first Black Princess. Since then, Tiana, and the movie, have become beloved. 

With Disneyland and Disney World's Splash Mountain receiving a retheme based on The Princess and the Frog, we probably shouldn't be surprised that a new live-action movie is in the works, though this is the first Dr. Facillier actor Keith David has heard about it. 

As we first reported on Toonado.com, the Shadowman actor took to Twitter to share the rumour, telling his followers: "I'm not sure if this is true, but I do know that Disney has not asked me to reprise the role of Dr. Facilier!"

It's rare for the voice actors from these animated movies to reprise their roles in live-action, though it would be great to see David return as Facilier. In all honestly, it's likely that this project is far too early in the development stages for anyone to be added to the cast and the movie hasn't even been announced yet. 

The Princess and the Frog also starred Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley, Jim Cummings, Jennifer Cody, John Goodman, Peter Bartlett, Jenifer Lewis, Oprah Winfrey, and Terrence Howard.

Set in New Orleans during the 1920s, the movie tells the story of a hardworking waitress named Tiana who dreams of opening her own restaurant. After kissing a prince who has been turned into a frog by an evil witch doctor, Tiana becomes a frog herself and must find a way to turn back into a human before it is too late.

Would they dare do a race swap lol this is the only time I'm genuinely curious on this toxic Fandom. Idc either way, the issue wasn't race swapping for these remakes. It was the same damn story and characters, sometimes same dialog, with a couple new songs.

@bobevanz - For black folks, it is already considered race swapping by changing a dark skin girl into a light skin girl lol
