Disney is making plans to sequelize one of their 1970s animated features:

Disney+ is in the early development stage of a live-action/CG hybrid remake to the 1976 animated classic Robin Hood. The studio is bringing back Kari Granlund, who penned the Lady and the Tramp remake, to write the screenplay. ...

Disney legend once said that Robin Hood was his favorite animated films because he loved the animation in it. Trouble is, while the animation is terrific, the story, voice-acting and overall momentum of the feature leave many things to be desired.

RH was released in 1973, the third full-length cartoon production to come out after Walt Disney's death, and the first he had nod hand in. It made a handsome profit for the studio, and was re-released once before finding its way to home video.

The Disney streaming service is a voracious creature, so it makes sense to mine everything in the catalogue. What made money in 1973 can make money in 2021 (or whenever the new iteration gets released.
