Production for an updated version of Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, will begin soon and The Jungle Book and an Alice sequel will arrive in 2016. But it doesn't stop there. So what's the next animated flick to get the live-action treatment? Mulan! According to People, Disney has already acquired a script by writing team Elizabeth Martin and Lauren Hynek. It tells the story of the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, the female warrior the 1998 original animated film was based on.
