Another animated film returns in live-action format

A live-action adaptation of the classic animated film “The Aristocats” is in early development at Disney.

The original 1970 film follows a family of aristocratic cats — mother Duchess and her three kittens Berlioz, Marie and Toulouse — living a luxurious life in Paris. But when their owner’s butler finds out that the cats are set to receive a massive fortune, he kidnaps them and abandons them in an unfamiliar land — the country. The aristocats then must befriend an alley cat, named Thomas O’Malley, to help them get home before the butler steals what is rightfully theirs.

Netflix picks up Iron Chef for a new season

As most fans of the show know, there hasn't been a new episode of "Iron Chef America" since 2018. The Food Network canceled the culinary game show after a successful 13 seasons on air, leaving viewers with only reruns to get their "Iron Chef " fix. But later this year, the show is getting a reboot on Netflix, the streaming platform officially announced on their website. The new series will be called "Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend" and is confirmed for an eight-episode run.

Instead of continuing where season 13 left off, Netflix explains that the series will be "reborn with a supersized approach." Much like the original, world-class chefs will compete against each other in culinary challenges that put their skills and creativity to the test. In the reboot however, this will take place in a "reimagined Kitchen Stadium." Then in the season finale, the highest scoring Challenger Chef will compete in a final challenge to be named not just the "Iron Chef," but the "Iron Legend."
