If you can’t get over Disney’s live adaptation of your childhood favorites, fret not! Here are the upcoming remakes you need to watch out for!

The Lion King

Everyone can feel the love for The Lion King as Donald Glover, Beyoncé, and James Earl Jones play Simba, Nala, and Mufasa respectively. The story follows the 1994 animated film where Simba goes on a journey to reclaim his rightful place as king. Let’s hope this remake retains the lessons and magic of the original film. After all, The Lion King has a lot to teach in both adults and children, particularly about love and bravery.

Release date: July 19, 2019

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Following Maleficent‘s success, Disney releases a sequel, where both Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning reprise their role. Set five years after the events of Maleficent, Soon-to-be Queen Aurora finds her relationship with Maleficent getting complicated, while new adversaries appear placing the Moors in danger once again. Will the two work together and set aside their differences to save the place they both love?

Release date: October 18, 2019

Lady and the Tramp

Lady and the Tramp is building up to be the cute, romantic film you need to watch. Known for their iconic spaghetti smooch scene, the story follows the adventure between an upper-middle-class American cocker spaniel and streetsmart stray mongrel. To make it even better, Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux will voice Lady and Tramp. However, the film won’t hit the theaters as it will be released on the streaming platform Disney+.

Release date: November 12, 2019

Mulan

The much-awaited remake of Disney’s heroine is here, slated to be released in 2020. It follows the story of Mulan who impersonates as a man to enlist herself in the army in her father’s stead. Mulan is the film we need to remind us that we’re strong, independent, don’t need a man.

Release date: March 27, 2020

Cruella

Cruella focuses on the origin story of the villain from 101 Dalmatians, Cruella de Vil. Set in the 1980s, the film features a punkish vibe, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Emma Stone is also reportedly cast as the dog-obsessed fashionista. Is the award-winning actress going to give birth to a whole new character we might fall in love with?

Release date: December 23, 2020

The Sword in the Stone

Another film meant for Disney+, The Sword in the Stone follows the story of a young King Arthur being mentored by a magician named Merlin. It’s a frolicsome take on the legend of King Arthur, and it might even be more fun since its screenplay was written by Game of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman. There is no release date yet, but filming has begun on September 2018 in Northern Ireland.

The Little Mermaid

Recently, The Little Mermaid has become one of the most controversial remakes today. It has officially cast Halle Bailey from the duo Chloe x Halle, and some people haven’t been welcoming about Disney’s choice due to Bailey’s skin color. Film director Rob Marshall defended their choice, describing Bailey as someone who has “a rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance.”

Even Princess Ariel’s original actress weighed in the controversy, stating that Bailey bringing the spirit of Princess Ariel’s character is what really matters. After all, Princess Ariel is a mermaid. She can be white, brown, black, or beige. We just need someone who can bring the character to life so we can etch her beautiful voice in our memories.

No dates have been promised for its theatrical release, but filming is set to begin early in 2020.

Lilo & Stitch

Lilo & Stitch is getting a hybrid live-action and CGI film remake! The story revolves around a Hawaiian girl named Lilo Pelekai who adopted a blue extraterrestrial creature and named it Stitch. It’s a film that will remind us of the Hawaiian concept of Ohana, where people we develop close bonds with become part of our family.

There is no news yet regarding its casting or release.

More live adaptations to come

Of course, there are more remakes lined up for Disney. Rumor has it that there will be a live adaptation for Rose Red, Snow White’s sister, and Prince Charming which is also unsure if it’s the prince that fell in love with the Apple-eating princess or Cinderella. Hercules is also in the works, along with Peter Pan and Tink (based on Tinker Bell’s story) which is planned to be part of Disney’s streaming service.

One of K-Pop’s most iconic soloists of all time has finally partnered up with the globally-renowned case maker.

And this isn’t like any other CASETiFY’s K-Pop Collab, this is much grander than that.

i-naugural Brand iCON

You heard that right! CASETiFY reveals their first ever Global Brand Ambassador.

Amassing 25 million Instagram followers, over 1.2 Billion YouTube views, and hitting almost 4 Million Spotify listeners, G-DRAGON has truly marked his footprint as the “King of K-Pop” — more than just being the iconic member of the global hit group BIGBANG.

His long overdue comeback (and world tour) with ‘Übermensch’ last 2025 further proves how massive the VIP (and FAM) community is.

That said, GD’s influence isn’t limited to the music industry alone. Art and fashion have also witnessed his legendary artistry through his PEACEMINUSONE label. That pretty daisy with a fallen petal is the brand’s most iconic emblem you can see around.

The introduction of his fashion line was connected to music as well. It was introduced way back in 2013 during his ‘COUP D’ETAT’ solo promotions which was a true hit. It was totally evident in the album art’s peace symbol minus that one line.

Wesley Ng, CASETiFY’s CEO and Co-Founder (who’s also fashion-savvy), said that “welcoming G-DRAGON as the brand’s first Global iCON is a powerful statement.” This will not only amplify the reach of the already-popular case maker, it will also influence the brand’s creative direction.

After all, one’s artistic expression can be seen easily with the cases we rock out and about.

i-conic CHROMATIC

In line with this milestone also lies a new collection of cases and accessories.

The all-new CHROMATIC Collection is built around two concepts: FORMS & HUES. First, the CHROMATIC: FORMS set is headlined by the premium-made Alloy Ripple Case with an upgraded aluminum material.

Speaking of aluminum, the accompanying accessories are all metallic — from the 2-in-1 cross-body chain to custom cube charms for bespoke personalization.

Meanwhile, the CHROMATIC: HUES adds five new vibrant shades to CASETiFY’s ever-popular Ripple Collection through the Neon Ripple Case. These bold range of colors not only embody users’ creativity and self-expression, it also showcases an individual’s overall aesthetics.

While this isn’t the PEACEMINUSONE collab some of us have initially thought, crossing fingers that will be the next official CASETiFY collab in line.

Pricing and Availability

The brand new CHROMATIC COLLECTION is expected to hit shelves real soon with prices ranging between US$ 10 to US$ 85,

They will be available for purchase on CASETiFY.com and in select CASETiFY Studio retail stores around the world starting on January 26 (Monday).
