"Aristocats" Live-Action Adaptation in Works at Disney

A live-action adaptation of the 1970 classic animated movie “The Aristocats” is in early development at Disney.

Director/screenwriter Will Gluck and “Onward” writer Keith Bunin will pen the script, with Gluck also producing via his Olive Bridge Entertainment company.

"The Aristocats" centered around a family of aristocratic cats — mother Duchess and her three kittens Berlioz, Marie, and Toulouse — owned by a kindly heiress who intends to make her cats the sole inheritors of her estate.

When the heiress' butler finds out that the cats are set to receive a massive fortune, he kidnaps the cats and abandons the felines in the countryside, who befriend an alley cat, named Thomas O’Malley, to help them get home.

The adaptation will be created in a similar fashion to the 2019 adaptation of "The Lady and the Tramp".
