Originally Posted By usmclass I really Dont feel that ANY of the named movies really needs remaking. Re-Release maybe. There are OTHER stories to tell, even some others to CREATE. Irish/celtic stuff is big right now.... a good animated movie bsed on some old Irish legends would go over well. There are other books..... Linda Lael Miller's Vampire Series, FOREVER AND THE NIGHT might be easily adapted... a story about a man who was made a Vampire through trickery and goes to unbelievable lengths to be returned to mortality in order to rejoin his mortal love. The concepts might be too "adult" for the Disney label, it might have to be a Touchstone piece. Anway, STOP looking for movies to remake, creat something totally NEW. WALT would have done it that way and I VERY seldom pay to see remakes.

Originally Posted By jpj I'd like to see The Secret of Boyne Castle redone.

It sort of reminds me of Hitchcock and the 39 Steps or Foreign Correspondent. I think the story, the setting, even the leads in the original lend themselves to something just as involving.

I saw Moon Spinners as a kid, but cannot remember as single thing about it (except that I had a crush on Hailey Mills when I was a pre teen) Speaking of her - and Disney movies, I would like to see a remake with today's special effects - of "In Search of the Castaways" Even given the less than spectacular effects available back then, I remember it with fondness, and have the VHS at home. But who could they use to replace Hailey Mills? Sigh
