Everybody might still want to be a cat, but it sounds like Disney isn't that compelled to make it happen. Back in 2022, it was announced that the studio was working on giving its classic animated feline film, The Aristocats, a modern-day polish under the supervision of Questlove, the Roots frontman and drummer, who would be handling directing duties. Now, after three years in development, the Oscar-winning filmmaker and musician has revealed that due to repeated changing of hands, it looks like that isn't going to happen, not while he's at the helm anyway.
During an appearance on Score: The Podcast, Questlove revealed, “Once Disney had their third president, usually when a new administration comes in, no matter what, they’re going to reshuffle." It was after this changing of the guard that Questlove presented Disney with what he'd developed so far, providing examples of music for the project and even a list of collaborators he had in mind for the new film.
