Questlove to Direct Live-Action/Hybrid Retelling of 'The Aristocats' for Disney

The Aristocats is the latest Disney film getting the live action treatment – but with a twist!

According to Deadline, Questlove will be directing the adaptation, which will be a live action and animated hybrid.

While not a lot of details are available on which elements will be animated versus not-animated, the outlet does say that this will be Questlove‘s (real name Ahmir Thompson) feature film directorial debut.

He will also executive produce and oversee the music from a script by Will Gluck and Keith Bunin.

If you’re unfamiliar, The Aristocats, which came out in 1970, centers on a family of Parisian felines, set to inherit a fortune from their owner, who enlist the help of a tomcat to try to make it back home after a jealous butler kidnaps them and leaves them in the country.

This is just the latest in a long line of Disney animated movies being turned into live action films. The live action The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey, will be out in May.
