Disney Sees the Light and Restarts Production on Its Live-Action ‘Tangled’ Remake

In the aftermath of Snow White‘s implosion at the box office this year, Disney hit “pause” on their plans for a live-action remake of Tangled.

Initially announced in December 2024, the Tangled remake was to be helmed by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey, with Jennifer Katin Robinson (Thor: Love and Thunder) writing the script.
