Aladdin hits theaters this weekend, but it won't be long after that that the next big Disney release will hit the theaters, and then the next, and so on. With a schedule that's starting to rival the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it can be daunting to try and memorize all of the release dates that are important to you.
Some of the upcoming films don't even have dates yet, such as Pinnochio, The Sword in the Stone, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, and Rose Red, but there are several live-action Disney classic remakes which are already dated, with casts and directors attached to them.
This doesn't include Lady and the Tramp, which releases in November on Disney+ and features Justin Theroux and Tessa Thompson, as it is strictly theatrical releases. Check out the list below for the information on Aladdin, The Lion King, Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil, Mulan, and Cruella.
