I am not sure how I feel about the live action films, but I am sure Disney won't drop the ball there.

As a shareholder, this announcement makes me happy!

I thought they were doing a frozen sequel?

DH started purchasing Disney stock when he heard they acquired the rights to Star Wars.

I saw a preview last weekend for the new Jungle Book and I'm not sure how I feel about it.  The animated version is such a classic I guess I don't understand the need to change it.

Disney seems to change their plans pretty often, so I wouldn't doubt that we will eventually hear about Frozen II and will also hear that some of the projects listed in the Chive link have been changed or scrapped. I saw an interview with the songwriter from Frozen - she said that the entire plot of Frozen was changed after they presented them with "Let It Go."

Walt Disney himself wanted to do Beauty and the Beast but they didn't have the technology for it at the time. 

Zootopia looks like it could be a hybrid of scrapped movies "Reynard" and "Fraidy Cat": bit.ly/1Mz5SF9 

Wikipedia lists Frozen II as an upcoming movie, as well as sequels to Enchanted and Wreck-It Ralph. I also see entries for live-action versions of Dumbo, Mulan, Pinocchio, The Sword in the Stone, and Chip and Dale: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Walt_Disney_Pictures_films

No more Pirates movies!! Seriously!!

Pete's Dragon?! I wonder if the original is on Netflix...

[msmerymac]

A live action version of the Sword in the Stone would just be a regular adaptation of the Once and Future King.

I'm actually really excited about Cars. I was meh about Cars 2, but the first one cracks me up every time.

Nobody wanted it, yet somehow it grossed over a billion dollars. I checked out of Pirates after the second movie, but someone somewhere kept going back to see On Stranger Tides again and again.

My parents got a bunch of Disney stock for DD when she was born in January and I really hope there's a huge pop with the first movie!

You are my spirit animal. DH and I observed that since getting older and having kids we just LOVE so many things Skinner.

Descendants II is coming out too!!!!!!! That's the only one I care about

I assume this is that Disney movie and has nothing to do with George Clooney right?
