It seems the current state of affairs for Disney is to recreate classic animated features, but in a live action environment.  It started with Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella, and will continue with The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast.  That last title is still a-ways down the line, but their named cast keeps growing.  The most recent of the animated favorites to be announced is that of Lumière the Candlestick.
