Disney Halts Tangled Remake Plans Following Snow White's Box Office Failure

Disney's live-action remake of Snow White has significantly underperformed at the box office, grossing only $69 million domestically and $145 million worldwide on a $270 million budget, and has faced criticism for being 'woke' and controversial. This failure has led Disney to pause the development of another planned live-action remake, Tangled, which was set to be directed by Michael Gracey with a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The decision to put Tangled on hold reflects Disney's reevaluation of its strategy for live-action adaptations following Snow White's reception. While Snow White's underperformance has not explicitly been confirmed as the cause, it's widely speculated to be related. Other live-action projects, such as Lilo & Stitch and Moana, are still proceeding. The pause comes amid a broader trend of mixed success for Disney's live-action adaptations, including recent releases like The Little Mermaid.
