I’m not excited about a live-action version of Moana, but I can’t get excited about any of these live-action remakes. Kail might do OK with it, as he has experience both with musicals and TV direction (and Lin-Manuel Miranda, obviously). Does that mean we can be spared an unnecessary remake of Fiddler on the Roof?

I think like everything MGM greenlit before they sold to Amazon, it was just advertising as they looked for a buyer. "Look what IP we've got to exploit!!!"
^ Cinderella was the best yes. But I also liked Dumbo, Aladdin, Mulan and most recently Peter Pan & Wendy. Pinocchio was meh and I expected more considering the cast and Robert Zemeckis.
