Producer Roy Conli Doesn't Want A Tangled Re-Make

The live action re-make craze isn't going anywhere anytime soon which means that, eventually, newer material is going to end up getting re-made. Producer Roy Conli has been working on Disney films since 1996 and has quite a few classics under his belt. When Collider asked Conli about which of his movies he would like to see re-made, it was a something he'd clearly thought about.

"I'd love to make Treasure Planet a live-action film," Conli said. "I think that in that format it could be so spectacular. It could be so spectacular. They've done an amazing musical version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame that played actually in Germany, that's great. It's a musical, that's one of my favorite scores."

Treasure Planet is one of the Disney movies that doesn't get nearly enough love so something like that would be ripe for a re-make. There was one movie that Conli doesn't want re-made though.

"I would hope that — because I loved Tangled so much, that to me it's one of my favorite children — I would hope that they hold off on making that for a while. Because I just think it's so fresh. I think in 25 years they can make it. For me, Tangled re-opened the door, I think, to what a princess is," he continued, "I think it opened the door to Frozen and it opens a door to just a whole new dialogue. I want it to be there for a while before it becomes something else."

That makes sense. Tangled is only seven years old at this point and the movies they are re-making are much, much older than that. There are plenty of Disney classics they could tackle before having to re-make one of their recent entries.
