There are a lot of great TV shows coming to Disney+ but they'll be joined by a long list of movies. In order to make this new streaming service as desirable as possible, one of the first that will be made available is a live-action remake of
Lady and the Tramp.
Disney's live-action remakes have found great success in theaters, so having this debut on Disney+ is equal parts smart and ballsy. The studio is clearly willing to sacrifice box office profits for as many new subscribers as possible and based on this first look, that's a gamble that should pay off.
Paying homage to the animated classic, it's clear that it will also bring something new to the table.
Played by Justin Theroux and Tessa Thompson, Lady and the Tramp will be joined by Janelle Monae as Peg, Sam Elliot as Trusty, Benedict Wong as Bull, and Ashley Jensen as a female version of Jack. On the human side of things, Kiersey Clemons and Thomas Mann will play the Dear family, while Yvette Nicole Brown has been cast as Aunt Sarah.
Lady and the Tramp will be available to watch when Disney+ launches on November 12th!
