In 1937, Walt Disney Productions ushered in an all-new age of film with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The studio’s first full-length animated film which introduced the first Disney Princess, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs featured groundbreaking animation and opened the door to a golden age for the genre. By almost every standard, it is considered one of the greatest films of all time.
The same cannon he said for Disney’s recent live-action reimagination, Snow White. Mired in controversy before its release, the new film foundered at the box office amid harsh critical reception. And while its animated predecessor launched Disney into a new age, the 2025 versionay we’ll have been the final straw for the studio’s plans to remake its animated classics.
According to THR, as the studio navigates the fallout of its failure with Snow White, it has paused development on its planned live-action reimagining of 2010’s Tangled.
In December 2024, trade reports revealed that Disney has hired The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey to take the helm of the Rapunzel retelling, working from a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. Rumors quickly followed that stars such as Kathryn Hahn, Florence Pugh and Sabrina Carpenter were being considered for roles in the film.
According to THR, it’s unclear if Disney will decide to move forward with Tangled down the road. For now, the studio looks to be waiting to process the critical and audience response to two already-completed live-action remake projects, Lilo & Stitch and Moana, before making a decision.
