Questlove is in charge of a new project that has another collision between hip-hop and Disney. The seasoned musician has established himself as a revered figure in the business. Quest is moving on to The Artistocats after assisting in the planning of a massive performance at the 2019 Grammy Awards. Questlove, actual name Ahmir Thompson, will make his formal feature film directing debut with this next project, according to an exclusive report from Deadline. The cartoon Disney classic’s new version is referred to as a “live-action/hybrid reinvention.” Quest will also play the movie’s soundtrack overhead. It’s not clear if that refers to the music, the soundtrack, or both.
In terms of the talent, we’ll have to wait for a declaration. Deadline did not reveal whether Walt Disney Studios had a specific actor in mind for the role just yet. However, it was made known that Olive Bridge would serve as an executive producer in addition to Tarik Trotter, Shawn Gee, and Zarah Zohlman of Two One Five Entertainment. This is a significant step for Questlove, who won the Best Documentary Feature Oscar for Summer of Soul last year.
Taking on a Family Favorite is Questlove
Over the years, Disney has made a number of fan favorites available again. Remakes of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid have all lately been released. A gang of cats in Paris that will soon become wealthy after inheriting money from their master were the focus of the animated film The Aristocats. The butler, who is only concerned with himself, tries to get rid of the cats. To get back home, the kittens form a group and embark on a crazy journey.
One month after Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary was celebrated at the Grammy Awards, news of Questlove’s most recent performances has just surfaced. Without the assistance of The Roots legend, who planned for dozens of the best rappers to perform on stage together, it never would have occurred. It wasn’t simple; some people didn’t get along, some had obligations, and some just didn’t want to take part. The drummer even handled fan criticism well and responded to queries from irate social media users. Yet, overall, people were friendly, and many of our pioneers received the honorable bouquets they earned. Watch the above The Aristocats clip to take a trip down memory lane.
