Is This A Disney Movie?

Is this a Disney movie or someone else's?

I love the way you laugh.

I think this one's based on the original HCA tale, but Disney has a live-action story in the works.

The article indicates that the story will be completely different from the original fairy tale.

but Disney has a live-action story in the works.

And this may or may not be based on the animated feature. They've done it both ways.

No, Universal, so it will be nothing like the Disney story.

HCA = Hans Christian Andersen

Funny how almost everyone on YouTube reacting to the trailer thinks it's Disney Live action version.
I understand they're excited but the Disney remake is still being made. I think news of a remake has only circled round the Internet for a year. It's too soon to be released yet.

I knew immediately it wasn't made by Disney when watching the trailer. Oh well.

Looking forward to this one though. Looks like a lovely tale. Looks interesting.
