Disney’s recent trend of remaking their biggest films continues with the news Home Alone is being rebooted – and it’s fair to say fans of the original are not happy.
Despite already being a pretty perfect
Christmas film, the 1990 classic will be reworked for a new generation.Disney chief Bob Iger confirmed that Night At The Museum and Diary Of A Wimpy Kid will also be rebooted once Disney+ - the company’s upcoming streaming service - launches.
However, it’s not clear if the movies will be feature films or TV series in their Disney+ incarnations.
