What if Don Bluth stayed at Disney?/An American Tale (live-action remake)

***An American Tale*** is a 2019 American family musical adventure comedy drama film directed and produced by Bill Condon and written by David Kirschner and David N. Weiss. Co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films, the film is a live action adaptation of Disney's 1986 animated film of the same name. The film stars Vivien Lyra Blair, Terrell Ransom Jr., Kaitlyn Maher, Ed Helms, Henry DeLuise, Bill Murray, Luke Evans, Alan Tudyk, Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Phil LaMarr, Emma Thompson, David Harbour and Mara Wilson.

Plans for a live-action *An American Tale* remake were confirmed in January 2018 following box office successes for Disney's live-action remakes such as *Beauty and the Beast* (2017), which was also directed by Condon. Much of the main cast signed on in December and principal filming began that summer on Burbank, California.

The film was released at Grauman's Chinese Theater on September 1, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States in standard, Disney Digital 3D, Dolby Cinema, Real D 3D, IMAX, IMAX 3D, and 4DX formats on October 10, 2019. *An American Tale* received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising its faithfulness to the original animated film, performances (particularly Blair and Ramson's), voice acting (particularly Maher, Helms and Evans'), screenplay, visual style, musical score, songs, costume design, and production values, though criticism was drawn toward some of the CGI designs and its excessive similarity to the original film.

The film grossed over $10 billion worldwide, becoming Disney's second highest-grossing live-action musical film after *Beauty and the Beast*, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2019, and the 14th-highest-grossing film of all time. The film received six nominations at TBD

He also ends up being eaten by King Gator as well.
