Article Summary

  • Moana live-action remake features two standees on the CinemaCon 2026 show floor, drawing attention.
  • Interest in Disney live-action remakes surged after the success of Lilo & Stitch and Tangled developments.
  • Moana remake faces mixed reactions, with debate over remaking films fans still consider recent releases.
  • Disney will likely spotlight Moana during its Thursday presentation at CinemaCon.

For a moment there, it looked like we might be done with the concept of the Disney live-action remake. Then Lilo & Stitch came along and did extremely well with both fans and at the box office. Suddenly, it appeared that the audience for these things was back on board. A movie like the Tangled remake went from being in limbo to getting cast in what felt like 3-5 business days. However, if the early reactions to the Moana remake are anything to go by, we might have another test case as to whether or not people are into this idea. Or maybe the real question is the timetable for the remakes, because Moana feels recent to people and that trips them up. Disney is likely going to be pushing the movie hard at CinemaCon during its presentation on Thursday, and the film did have some presence on the show floor with a regular standee of the poster and a much bigger and more in-depth display. It's unlikely that a couple of standees will get the naysayers on board, but we've seen weirder things happen.
