Sources tell Deadline that an adaptation of The Aristocats is in early development with the studio’s live-action team. Will Gluck and Keith Bunin will pen the script, with Gluck producing through his Olive Bridge Entertainment banner."

I'm going to be upset if the Siamese cat isn't in it. Knowing Disney, they can't do any of the original band.

Summer of Soul was 70% archival footage (the good stuff in the film); the rest was generic documentary fluff with interviews and the like. Questlove is an interesting guy, but I’m surprised they’d hire someone with such slim filmmaking bona fides. Maybe he’ll go full-on musical. Could work since almost nobody loves the animated feature as a whole.

Considering they replaced Si and Am for the 2019 live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp with a similar duo of cats (who are male). Expect a newer cat to be added to the band.

Nope, just her kittens which I don't have a problem with. If Berlioz and Toulouse have American accents, while Marie has an English accent. Then I guess Duchess must had really gotten around with the other male cats prior to the film.
Where's the father of those kittens?!?!
