Questlove to Direct Disney’s Live-Action Remake of The Aristocats

Questlove, who recently won an Oscar for his documentary Summer of Soul, will direct and oversee the music for the upcoming Disney live-action hybrid remake of The Aristocats. The project will be written by Will Gluck and Keith Bunin and will be similar in style to recent Disney remakes like The Lion King and Aladdin. The original 1970 animated classic follows a mother cat and her kittens on a journey with an alley cat to find their way home and features a popular soundtrack, which Questlove will presumably put his own spin on.
