Disney has been unashamedly capitalizing on fan nostalgia for their animated classics by making live action remake after remake. From Aladdin (2019), The Lion King (2019), and Beauty and the Beast (2017), to most recently The Little Mermaid and the upcoming Lilo & Stitch, casting has sent the internet into a tailspin after tailspin.
NOW, I don’t think anyone is speculating that there will be a live action version of Disney / Pixar’s Monsters Inc (2001) (can you imagine the CGI???), BUT BuzzFeed UK did have some fun bringing up the possibility at the London premiere of The Little Mermaid. While the stars lined the red carpet and posed for photos, the BuzzFeed interviewer asked the harrowing question: “Who would you cast as a live action Sulley?”
