Will "The Adventures of Cat" make a live-action movie, will it repeat the tragedy of cat and mouse?

Disney, which has gained good experience in motion capture and animal production, is going to combine live action and animation to shoot movies.

According to foreign media reports, Disney will make its classic cartoon "The Adventures of Cats" into a live-action movie. The latest director is the well-known musician Questlove, who directed the documentary "Summer of Soul" not long ago. In addition to directing the film, Questlove will also serve as music supervisor for the live-action version of the script co-written by "Peter Rabbit" director Will Guller and "1/2 of Magic" screenwriter Keith Bunning.

In 1962, "The Adventures of Cats" was originally planned as an original story for Walt Disney's live-action series "The Wonderful World of Color", and was written by writers Tom McGowan and Tom Rowe and producer Harry Taylor. Er is in charge of production. After two years of rewriting, Disney suggested that the project would be better suited as an animated film and put the project in a turnaround while The Jungle Book entered production. When The Jungle Book was nearing completion, Disney tapped Ken Anderson (the animator) to work on The Adventures of Cats.

In the history of the Disney company, "The Adventures of Cats" was the last film project approved by Disney himself before his death in December 1966. Disney's long-term collaborators, the Sherman Brothers, wrote many songs for the film. Even though only two songs were finished.

It tells the story of a noble lady living in Paris who decided to leave all her property to her mother cat, Dutris, and her kittens. The housekeeper Aggie, who was ranked after the cats in the order of succession, became ill-intentioned when she found out. So one night, the cats were secretly carried to the countryside and discarded. Thanks to the full help of the wild cat Thomas Omar and his wild cat friends, they were able to return home and smash the housekeeper Aggie's conspiracy. Thomas Omar also developed a relationship as a result.

However, not all IPs are suitable for the live-action version. The tragedy of "Tom and Jerry" splitting reality came first, and "猫儿" also has to make people worry.
