Moana's remake follows a trend at Disney, with the media giant mining its expansive library of animated content and remaking it in live-action. Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, among many others, have been remade into relatively faithful adaptations with live actors assisted by a healthy dose of computer-generated imagery. Along with the remakes, Disney plucked characters from several properties for live-action spinoff films, such as Maleficent, Cruella, and Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers. However, the original films and their respective remakes have a significant amount of time between them.
Although the Moana remake will feature all the characters from the original, including Johnson returning as Maui, the actor specifically called the film a "reimagining." This may imply that there will be significant deviations from the beloved source material. However, with the previous remakes closely adhering to their predecessors, such a daring move is unlikely. As the Moana remake has just been announced, audiences will have to be patient for any further updates.
