Beetlejuice. Book, music and lyrics by me. It may be a trunk project, but I dust it off every year or so until I feel like it's ready to apply for the rights.
Please, no one famous steal this one out from under me haha.

I've had the Beetlejuice idea for a LONG time. I think it'd be great. would have a lot of the Halloween/offbeat market appeal, too.
I know it's not Disney territory, but I also think The Devil Wears Prada would be great musical territory.

Those are all awful choices. The Princess Diaries, REALLY??? Who could sit through that??? This is the reason it's so hard to find real theatre on broadway. Pointless, mindless shows like these keep getting bounced around. The only legitimate film listed is Remember The Titans, and that wouldn't really lend itself to music. Disney's live action films are notorious for being terrible. Let those franchises die, and bring Hunchback to America.
Also, are the people making suggestions aware that most of those are not Disney films???

I pray for the day Disney opens a show on Broadway and everyone just turns around and walks away disinterested. Yet everyone got all titillated when they heard about those dancing paper boys from that mediocre Disney film. Happens every damn time.

Honestly, those choices up top are beyond ridiculous. REMEMBER THE TITANS? Really? And which "theater" will this musical with so much football playing take place in? And which casting agency will be in charge of finding multiple pairs of identical 12 year old twin girls who can sing, dance and carry on 8 shows a week? Or maybe COOL RUNNINGS, Broadways newest bobsledding musical would be easier to stage...

Beetlejuice is a WB property, but I think that could be fun. All of the options here are pretty horrifying...

Country Bears had some pretty good original songs but in order to justify a Broadway version, I think they need to move from subtext to an actual gay preteen.

I'm still waiting for that Song of the South musical.

The worst choices ever... I at least expected the films discussed here in other threads like Bedknobs and Broomsticks and (shudder) Pete's Dragon would make the list, even with the animated element. Imean even The Journey of Natty Gann and Something Wicked This Way Comes, or, Hell, Tron would seem more likely to me.
While the Cuaron film was amazing, I still wonder about the Menken live action A Little Princess they were working on when Newsies took precedent--the one song on Debbie Gravitte's Menken album is beautiful.

I looked up a list of live-action Disney movies to see if I could contribute to this thread. I can't. Instead, here's a simple game: which of these is a Disney movie from 2000 to the present, and which is the title of a gay pornographic film?
Lemonade Mouth
Once Upon a Warrior
Den Brother
Space Buddies
Dadnapped
Minutemen
Eight Below
Teacher's Pet
Going to the Mat
The Young Black Stallion
Holes
Brother Bear
Double Teamed
Hounded
The Poof Point
Answer: they are all Disney movies

The Poof Point sounds like a gay porno from England.
I thought this poll was kind of tongue in cheek. Were we supposed to take those selections seriously?
What about The Nutty Professor? Not the Eddie Murphy one, the original.
Freaky Friday has been around for years as a musical. The songs I have heard from it are pretty good.

I don't really want to order one up, like a Happy Meal.
If a composer and/or playwright has a vision and passion about doing one of these, great. I don't like the "title before the idea" approach to creating Broadway musicals.

Freaky Friday is the only live-action Disney title I've seen tossed around that interests me. I loved both the original and the remake.
