The issue

Previously I did a petition about live action reboots to live action reboots to Disney Animated Feature Films that haven't had a status update on them since about 2020: https://www.change.org/p/please-provide-a-status-update-on-these-live-action-reboots-of-wdas-films

With this petition it's to be about live action reboots to Disney Animated Feature Films that had already come around, more specifically sequels to them that had been announced but still haven't come around, only ones to have successfully done so so far are Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil and Mufasa: The Lion King. These include a sequel to the live action reboot of The Jungle Book, a 3rd Maleficent film, and a sequel to Cruella with how different it plays out from the original. I do hope these sequels can come around one of these years, even if they were streaming service originals on Disney+ much like some of the other sequels to live action Disney films that had been going through something called Production Hell had already done.

I'm sure there won't be any casting issues with any of the sequels mentioned, aside from Mowgli in The Jungle Book sequel based on how Neel Sethi is now an adult to the point where his character will be in need of being recasted by someone who looks like he did when 11. I already have hopes of how that film in particular could turn out, for instance with being about King Louie and how he became the last of his kind in the 19th century, in addition to giving Kaa some more screen time, and featuring more characters who both were and weren't in the 1967 film. These in a way might include the vultures created specifically for the original film, and maybe even Tabaqui the Jackal from the original book who got cut from Disney's adaption, the elephants speaking meanwhile is dependable, since Jon Favreau might've had a reason for them to be silent non-drillers to the point where even Andy Serkis' Jungle Book adaption had them not speaking. But with however the sequel to Jon Favreau's Jungle Book film turns out, who knows what it could mean for Andy Serkis.

Nothing I have to say about the other sequels that had been going through Production Hell, but I do hope we can see them all eventually either on the big screen or as Streaming Service Originals or as both, same said about those live action reboots that aren't sequels which too have been going through the same thing, along with those that are still to be announced like Alice In Wonderland and The Fox And The Hound.
