The proposed live-action movie is the latest Disney has scheduled, following on from 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'The Jungle Book', which has a cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong'o and Bill Murray.

Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Ewan McGregor will be starring in 'Beauty and the Beast' opposite Sir Ian McKellen, Emma Watson and Emma Thompson.

The 44-year-old actor will be playing Lumiere, the butler-turned-candlestick, while Emma Watson will be starring as Belle and Emma Thompson will be playing Mrs. Potts.

Sir Ian, meanwhile, will play Lumiere's sidekick, the mantelpiece clock Cogsworth.

Elsewhere, Luke Evans will star as Gaston and Dan Steven as the Beast.

Disney has also announced upcoming remakes for 'Dumbo', 'Mulan', 'Pinocchio' and 'The Little Mermaid', while production on 'Beauty and the Beast' will begin later this year and the film is scheduled to open in March 2017.
