A live-action adaptation of Disney's 1973 retelling of Robin Hood is in development according to THR.

After working their way through most of their modern animated classics, it was probably only a matter of time before the Mouse House turned its attention to Wolfgang Reitherman's musical take on the legendary bandit, which featured anthropomorphic animals as the main characters. This version will follow suit, but will utilize a live-action/CG hybrid format along the same lines as the recent Lion King remake (in other words, it's not live-action!)

Disney's Robin Hood received something of a mixed reaction around the time of its release, but it has since gained more of a fan-following, and many consider it to be an underrated gem.

The project is being written by Kari Granlund, who previously penned the Disney+ remake of Lady and the Tramp. In addition to Blindspotting, Estrada directed an episode of FX's Legion, and Sundance drama Summertime.

@Origame - And this time its a live action remake of a movie with talking animals, based on stories about human people, but still using talking animals, seriously we already have plenty of good Robin Hood movies, who needs one with talking animals that are going to look real. Stick with the Russel Crow or Kevin Cosner movies

@Origame - dont think i would go that far, that movie is pretty terrible. Hopefully the cgi is less like cat or lion king and is more like Sonic or Detective picachu. Wont save the movie but at least we wont be looking at weird cgi monsters like in cats or expressionless faces like in lion king

@vegetaray - well that implies these are live action.
Origame
Origame - 4/10/2020, 4:37 PM
@dracula - considering they're calling it live action means it'll be more like lion king.
dracula
dracula - 4/10/2020, 4:38 PM
@Origame - well if its between that and cats style and i guess we are lucky, still not watching

@Origame - Lion King wasnt live action. They used CGI. Live Action would be something like actors wearing costumes.
dracula
dracula - 4/10/2020, 4:57 PM
@GarthRanzz - that didnt stop everyone from refering to lion king as live action
Origame
Origame - 4/10/2020, 5:05 PM
@GarthRanzz - tell disney that. They not only directly called it live action they even advertised it that way. Thats why i put quotes around "live action".

Why cant they do Live Action further adventure movies. Like sequels in live action. At least this way it's a new story.

I doubt they'll go the Cats route. I'm thinking more so like an anthropomorphic fox. Like, just a fox on its hind legs.. with a bow and arrow..
