Disney are planning a live-action remake of Winnie The Pooh.
The company are said to be working on a new adventure featuring AA Milne's iconic character following on from the success of their adapted fairytale 'Cinderella' starring Lily James.
Alex Ross Perry is on board to develop the film which hopes to give the old tale a new lease of life and will feature an adult Christopher Robin returning to the Hundred Acre Wood, reports Deadline.
Meanwhile, the studios live-action retellings have been well received to date, with Oscar-nominee Sir Kenneth Branagh having been called in to put his spin on the reinterpretation of the Cinderella fairytale.
The 54-year-old director has stressed the importance of making the new films markedly different from the original story.
He said: "I did want to make a film that was about courage and about kindness and about a psychological modernity in the middle of this traditional story.
"The Cinderella myth continues to capture our imaginations."

Chris Pine is in talks to star in 'Comancheria'. The 34-year-old actor has reportedly entered into negotiations to appear in the upcoming action-thriller alongside Ben Foster, with Jeff Bridges also confirmed for a role. The movie follows two brothe...

Ryan Reynolds says 'Deadpool' won't be the typical comic book movie.
The 38-year-old actor explained the much-anticipated movie will be shot on a small budget and has, therefore, told fans to expect something a little offbeat.
He remarked: "It's not like an X-Men movie where there's this gigantic budget. It's quite a small film. It's very difficult to weave that character into other comic movies. He knows he's in a comic book.
"If he met Wolverine, he'd greet him as Hugh Jackman. It's tough to create a meta-universe within another universe that doesn't have any of those components."
Meanwhile, Ryan - who's married to actress Blake Lively, with whom he has a four-month-old daughter - confessed he's currently enjoying an "obscenely wonderful life" as he gets to spend so much time with his family while he films in Vancouver, Canada.
He told The Independent newspaper: "With family, you stay together - so we're all going. We're excited, though - it's just part of the adventure.
"When you're a working actor and you're able to pull in a pay cheque doing something you love, you're a success story.
"I know that I have an obscenely wonderful life because of this business - I'm able to do something that I love."

Christopher Nolan says the initial critical reaction to 'Memento' was "devastating".
The acclaimed director, who helmed the psychological thriller movie, has recalled how his first big-budget feature was shunned by Hollywood and says he found the reaction hard to accept.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he explained: "We organised a big distribution screening in LA the weekend all the [film] distributors were coming to town for the Spirit Awards.
"But every distributor passed [on it] in one night, nobody wanted it. Some of the distributors were really awful to us, actually, and said they'd walked out of the film. It was a really, really tough ride ... pretty devastating."
Ultimately, 'Momento' was picked up by the film's financiers Newmarket Films and two years later, Christopher returned to the Independent Spirit Awards to collect the Best Director prize.
Speaking at a BAFTA-organised event to support the industry's rising stars, Christopher said: "It was a really unique road. I don't think I'll ever have a moment like that in my career.
"We took a huge knock, back as far as we could go. But we came back from it with sheer good fortune."

Vidhu Vinod Chopra says the transition from Bollywood to Hollywood is like mastering a "different artform".
The 62-year-old Indian film-maker - who's helmed some of the biggest movies in Indian cinema, including '3 Idiots' and 'PK' - performed the roles of director, writer and producer for the new American mystery thriller 'Broken Horses' and says making an English-language film is dramatically different from Bollywood.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Vidhu explained: "It's very, very different. It's like a completely different artform.
"Indian cinema, Bollywood cinema, it's all slightly over the top, whereas when you do a western film it's completely different."
Vidhu claimed Hollywood doesn't have a great deal of respect for its Indian equivalent but hopes attitudes might change in light of 'Broken Horses'.
He reflected: "Bollywood is actually looked down upon, clearly.
"I mean the West doesn't give Bollywood its due. Because they look down upon Bollywood, that's why it's important to do this film. That's the point I'm making: We guys can do movies as good if not better than those guys can.
"Going by the reaction we have so far, from various film-makers and critics responding to the film, we can do it.
"We just have a different artform that we cater to. But that doesn't mean that we can't master this other artform that we've done for the first time in 'Broken Horses'."

Aaron Taylor-Johnson thinks he's "too young" to have starred as Christian Grey in the 'Fifty Shades' movies.
The 24-year-old actor, who's married to the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' director Sam Taylor-Johnson, says he's "really proud" of his wife's adaptation of the best-selling novel by author E.L. James, but has dismissed the idea he was ever in the running to play Christian Grey.
Asked whether it was a possibility, he replied: "No, never! I think there would have been a lot of unhappy fans of the book."
Aaron, who married Sam in 2012, admitted that as soon as his wife was attached to the movie, he knew he'd never appear in it and the role ultimately went to Jamie Dornan, 32.
He told Marie Claire UK: "We both read it and knew right then that when she went into direct it, I wouldn't be the one to step into those shoes. And that was fine.
"It didn't feel like one of us was like, 'I really wanted to do that'. I'm obviously really, really proud of Sam and it was great to see her take that project and make it her own, and not have to feel like just because there's a role ... I feel like I'm too young for that role anyway!"
Last month, Sam confirmed she will not be returning to direct another movie in the 'Fifty Shades' franchise.
However, she added: "While I will not be returning to direct the sequels, I wish nothing but success to whosoever takes on the exciting challenges of films two and three."

Jason Statham will make as many 'Expendables' films as Sylvester Stallone wants him to.
The 47-year-old actor, who starred in all three films in the action film franchise, has revealed he'd happily return for a fourth instalment.
He shared: "Working with Sylvester Stallone is beyond a 'pinch yourself' moment ... to be directed by him in a movie that he's produced, and to be shoulder-to-shoulder with Sly is a privilege anyone who loves action movies would never turn their nose up at."
Asked specifically if he'd like to appear in another 'Expendables' film, Jason told IGN: "I'll do as many as [Sylvester] wants."
He added: "It's not my thing to dream up the ideas and what's in store. One, do I want to do another one? Two, are people tired of it already? You don't know."
Meanwhile, Stallone is busy working on the eagerly-awaited fifth and potentially final 'Rambo' film, titled 'Rambo: Last Blood'.
The 68-year-old star will reprise the role of action hero John Rambo in the new movie, which he has written and is also set to direct.
The film's title is a reference to the 1982 film 'First Blood', prompting speculation this will be the last instalment in the franchise.

Anna Kendrick has been cast opposite Zac Efron in 'Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates'.
The new comedy is based on a real life story of two brothers who advertise for wedding dates on Craigslist and are responded to by two crazy but beautiful women.
The 'Pitch Perfect' star, 29, will play 27-year-old Zac's love interest, while Adam DeVine has been cast as his brother.
Jake Szymanski is directing the film and 'Bad Neighbors' writers Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien will pen the script, reports Empire Online.
Meanwhile, 2015 is sure to be a busy year for the brunette beauty, who is set to appear in 'Table 19', 'Pitch Perfect 2' and will next be seen in the musical adaptation 'The Last Five Years' which is due out on April 17.
The pretty star recently admitted she found auditioning for her role in the movie "terrifying" as she was asked to sing for Broadway songwriter, Jason Robert Brown, to secure the part.
She said: "I figured at some point they would want to make sure that I could sing it, so I had to go to Jason's house and sing two songs for him from the show. That was a completely terrifying experience."

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson chose to play Black Adam rather than Shazam because the character is "inherently more interesting".
The 42-year-old star confirmed he was offered the opportunity to play both characters from the DC Comics, but decided to appear in the role of the villainous Black Adam because there's more depth to his story.
He said: "I felt ultimately, and this is with all due respect to Shazam/Billy Batson, it's a mythology that I love; it's been with me for almost ten years now; what made me choose Black Adam?
"I just felt Black Adam was inherently more interesting to me because I felt there were more layers to Black Adam starting out as a slave and then ultimately becoming the anti-hero who we enjoy today."
Before starring as Black Adam, Dwayne appears in 'Furious 7' and recently confessed the latest movie in the franchise felt "unique" because of the death of co-star Paul Walker in November 2013.
He reflected: "Obviously it triggers lots of emotions with the loss of Paul. I think that we have created something very unique and special with cars, big chase sequences, big action, all these things that are happening and exploding.
"Then you still have the core family and I think that resonates with people - black, white, whatever colour you are, religion, it doesn't matter, class, it doesn't matter, it's still family.
"It's still family and that's a very unique bond and foundation to work off of."
