Questlove is expected to direct the Aristocats remake. Here are four reasons why this now makes the Aristocats one of Disney’s most exciting movies.
Disney announced Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson would direct a live-action Aristocats remake, marking this remake of the animated film as one of the most exciting movies on Disney’s roster. While Disney has released many live-action versions of their classic animated films, what makes this announcement so intriguing is the combination of a well-known musician helming a well-known children’s musical.
Questlove’s ability to encapsulate a party can especially be helpful for the Aristocats’ signature musical number, “Everybody Wants to be a Cat.” This original movie highlight displays cats of every color playing instruments and thriving off each other’s energy until they join in for a rambunctious chorus. As seen in Summer of Soul, Questlove understands the importance of letting a performance let loose and letting the raw energy of a performance sweep the viewer.
One can imagine the talents of John Legend, Erykah Badu, and Lin-Manuel Miranda offering their signature music styles to songs like "Thomas O'Malley Cat" or "Scales and Arpeggios." Likewise, Questlove's friends like Maya Rudolph, Kenan Thompson, Zooey Deschanel, and Hannibal Burris can create fresh, colorful side characters as the new rowdy Scat Cat Gang.
Since the remake was announced as a musical live-action, Questlove has already shared his adoration and skill of playing various music styles on the Tonight Show, honored 1960s funk and soul in the Summer of Soul, and has spoken openly about his love of jazz. His vast production skills have led him to produce albums ranging from Jay-Z to Elvis Costello. He knows how to blend the classical into something fresh and current while honoring an artist or song’s legacy.
