Trivia

  • Pocahontas will not receive a live-action adaptation as Alan Menken mentioned that it would be impossible due to "modern sensibilities".[9]
    • Another film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, was hesitated into being remade into a live action film as its production had stalled for the similar reasons.[10]
  • Tarzan is one of the notable films that won’t be receiving the live-action adaptation by Disney due to legal issues with the family of Edgar Rice Burroughs.[11] The characters of Tarzan had limited use in the 2000s after the film itself before Disney discontinued using them in subsequent medias following these legalities.
  • Dumbo, Peter Pan and Wendy, and The Little Mermaid are the only Disney live-action remakes that did not receive the variations of the regular Walt Disney Pictures logo. The former film had the regular version of the 2011 logo accompained by a musical score specific for the film, while the two latter are the first film to use the new 2022 on-screen logo with its new regular fanfare composed by Christophe Beck.
