From Mulan to Aladdin, Disney has treated fans to magical live-action reboots of its most iconic titles.
The next movie to get this treatment - which has just started filming - is Peter Pan & Wendy starring Jude Law and Yara Shahidi and we are counting down the days until we can see it.
Production has commenced in Vancouver and it will be directed by David Lowery, who also directed Pete's Dragon.

The cast is rounded out with Molly Parker as Mrs. Darling and Alan Tudyk as Mr. Darling. Comedian Jim Gaffigan has been cast as Smee.

Newcomers Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe and Alyssa Wapanatâhk will play John, Michael and Tiger Lily respectively.
"Peter Pan has long been one of my favourite stories, partially because I've always resisted growing up, but also because of the heart, adventure and imagination that makes J.M. Barrie's original tale so evergreen," explains director David Lowery.
He adds: "I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to redefine his iconic characters for a new generation - and even more excited that I get to do so with such an exceptional cast and crew."
