Disney has confirmed NINE new live action movies planned for the next few years.

The success of Maleficent and The Jungle Book - with Beauty and the Beast on the way - has prompted the company to continue the trend with more films being given the remake treatment.

A lot of the projects are inspired by its animated back catalogue, with movies like Peter Pan, Dumbo and 101 Dalmatians amongst those being rebooted.

The latter is set to star Emma Stone in spin-off Cruella, while Reese Witherspoon will be involved in Tinker Bell.

There are also plans for Tim Burton planning a modern retelling of 1941 classic Dumbo.

Dwayne Johnson will be part of Jungle Cruise - based on a theme park ride - while The Wrinkle In Time will get another shot with a fresh adaptation of a 1960s sci-fi novel following a poorly-received TV version in 2003.

Meanwhile, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms rounds off the list.

The story - which is based on the 1816 fairy tale The Nutcracker and the Mouse King - was the inspiration behind Pyotr Tchaikovsky's famous ballet.

Although exact details are yet to be confirmed, live action fairy tales are set for December 2017, April 2018 and 2019, while the studio will release live-action movies in August and December 2018.
