Disney prépare un nouveau Live Action : La Belle au bois dormant revisitée au Mexique

Disney travaille sur un projet inédit autour de la princesse Aurora, plus connue sous le nom de La Belle au bois dormant. Cette adaptation promet de réinventer le conte classique en le transposant dans un cadre mexicain, offrant une approche totalement nouvelle de l’histoire.

Une réinvention audacieuse d’un classique

Aurora change de décor
Selon les informations révélées par le spécialiste des sorties cinéma Daniel Richtman, Disney développe actuellement un film intitulé Aurora. L’originalité de cette production résiderait dans le fait que l’histoire de la princesse ne se déroulerait plus dans le royaume traditionnel, mais au Mexique. Cette démarche marque un virage notable dans la manière dont le géant américain revisite ses classiques, déjà habitué à moderniser et diversifier ses princesses.

Un twist controversé mais intrigant
Ce choix de localisation pourrait susciter des réactions mitigées parmi les fans, attachés à l’univers original inspiré du conte français de Charles Perrault. Pourtant, le nom Aurora est partagé entre les cultures française et espagnole, ce qui pourrait permettre à Disney d’intégrer cette transformation culturelle de manière cohérente. L’initiative semble s’inscrire dans une volonté de renouveler le mythe tout en respectant certains liens symboliques avec le conte originel.

Le passé de La Belle au bois dormant et les adaptations Disney

Un classique intemporel
Sorti pour la première fois en 1959, La Belle au bois dormant est le 16ᵉ long-métrage d’animation de Disney. L’histoire suit la princesse Aurora, victime d’une malédiction de la fée Maléfique, qui la condamne à mourir à ses seize ans. Trois fées protectrices et le prince charmant interviennent pour rompre le sortilège, donnant naissance à l’un des récits les plus iconiques de l’univers Disney. Aujourd’hui, ce film est disponible sur Disney+, et fait partie des classiques que le studio a souvent revisités sous forme de live-action.

Des adaptations parfois controversées
Les remakes live-action des classiques Disney n’ont pas toujours été exempts de critiques. Certains films ont été annulés avant leur sortie, tandis que d’autres ont déçu les fans à cause de choix scénaristiques ou artistiques jugés trop éloignés de l’original. Transposer Aurora au Mexique représente donc un pari audacieux, puisqu’il implique de rompre avec le cadre et la culture initiale du conte français, une décision qui pourrait diviser le public.

Un projet à suivre pour Disney

Une annonce encore officieuse
Pour l’instant, Disney n’a pas confirmé officiellement le développement de Aurora. Les informations proviennent uniquement de sources internes, réputées fiables, mais aucune date de sortie, casting ou détails supplémentaires sur l’intrigue n’a été communiqué. Le studio semble prendre le temps de repenser sa stratégie de production et de calendrier pour les prochaines années, laissant planer un certain mystère autour de ce projet.

Entre tradition et innovation
Disney devra trouver un équilibre délicat entre le respect du conte original et la volonté d’offrir une version rafraîchie. L’entreprise a déjà modifié la représentation de certains personnages dans le passé, comme Ariel dans La Petite Sirène (2023), mais la transposition de l’histoire de La Belle au bois dormant dans un contexte culturel différent constitue une évolution plus radicale. Les spectateurs attendent donc de voir comment le studio réussira à harmoniser ces changements avec l’héritage de la princesse Aurora.

L’avenir des princesses Disney

Des adaptations pour un public moderne
Ce nouveau projet s’inscrit dans une tendance plus large de Disney : réinventer ses classiques pour toucher un public contemporain et international. L’objectif est de créer des récits qui résonnent autant avec les fans de longue date qu’avec les nouvelles générations, tout en explorant des contextes et des cultures diversifiés.

Un pari risqué mais prometteur
Si Disney réussit à marier innovation et fidélité à l’âme du conte, Aurora pourrait devenir l’une des adaptations les plus audacieuses et réussies de ces dernières années. Les amateurs de princesses et de récits fantastiques auront donc tout intérêt à suivre de près les annonces autour de ce film.

Disney semble prêt à offrir une nouvelle vision du conte de La Belle au bois dormant avec Aurora, en déplaçant l’histoire dans un cadre mexicain inédit. Le projet, encore officieux, pourrait marquer un tournant dans la manière dont le studio revisite ses princesses emblématiques. Les fans devront attendre les confirmations officielles pour découvrir comment Disney conciliera tradition et innovation.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Read on Someone’s Recommendation

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today is Wednesday, and it’s time for another post in the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge hosted by Long and Short Reviews. If you’d like to participate in the challenge, you can find the list of topics for 2025 here. If you’re interested in reading other people’s responses to this week’s topic, you can do so here.

Books I Read on Someone’s Recommendation

The Deep
Last year, lovely Lydia Scoch recommended I read The Deep, a novella by Rivers Solomon, and I thought it was brilliant. It’s an original and unique take on the origin of mermaids—and as a fan of mermaids and mythical creatures in general, I found it fascinating.

Cher: The Memoir (Part One)
Recently, a friend recommended that I read Cher: The Memoir (Part One), so my husband bought it for me for my birthday. I’ve always enjoyed Cher’s music; I grew up listening to it—it was ubiquitous in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and now when I hear certain songs, I’m transported back in time. The book, which I’m halfway through reading, is brilliant, and I recommend it if you’re a fan.

Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher
Someone recommended I read Thornhedge about two years ago, I think it might have been Michael Mock, though I’m not sure. Either way, it’s a novella that wonderfully retells the story of Sleeping Beauty, and I remember not being able to put it down for long.

Anyway… that’s quite enough out of me!

Thank you, as ever, for reading my post this week. It means the world.

Until next time,

George

Moirai

In ancient Greek religion & mythology, the Moirai (a.k.a. in English as the Fates) were the personification of destiny.

There were 3 sisters named: Clotho, who was the spinner; Lachesis, who was the allotter; & Atropos, who was the inevitable, a symbol for death. Their Roman equals are the Parcae.

The Moirai’s role was to make sure that every being, mortal & divine, lived out their destinies. For mortals, this destiny went their entire lives & is pictured as a thread spun from a spindle. A spindle is the thing that Sleeping Beauty touched to become Sleeping Beauty.

Usually, they were considered to be above even the gods, in their role as enforcers of Fate. Zeus was even scared of them. Even though, in some stories, Zeus is able to command them. But these are rare.

The word Moirai (also spelt Moirae or Moerae) comes from Ancient Greek. This means “lots, destinies, apportioners.” It also means a portion, or lot of the whole.

In Dante’s Divine Comedy, the Fates are mentioned in both Inferno & Purgatorio by their Greek names. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the Weird Sisters (or 3 Witches) are prophetesses, who are deeply rooted in both the real & supernatural worlds.

The Moirai are:

• Clotho, the spinner. She spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Roman equal was Nona (“the 9th”), who was originally called upon in the 9th month of pregnancy.
• Lachesis, the allotter or drawer of lots. She measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. Her Roman equal was Decima (“the 10th”).
• Atropos, “inexorable,” or inevitable,” literally “unturning.” She was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of each person’s death. When their time has come, she would cut their life-thread with her shears. Think about the end of Disney’s Hercules, when our main man, Herc, went to save Meg from Hades’ domain. Herc’s life-thread turned gold when he saved. Her Roman equal was Morta (“the dead one”).

In the Republic of Plato, the 3 Moirai sing together with the music of the Seirenes. Lachesis sings the things that were, Clotho the things that are, & Atropos the things that are to be. Pindar, in his Hymn to the Fates, holds them in high honor. He calls them to send their sisters, the Hours (Eunomia, “lawfulness”; Dike, “right”; & Eirene, “peace”), to stop the internal civil strife.

In the Theogony, Hesiod describes the Moirai as daughters of the primeval goddess Nyx (“night”), & the sisters of the Keres (“the black fates”), Thanatos (“death”), & Nemesis (“retribution”). Later in the poem, Hesiod instead calls them daughters of Zeus & the Titaness Themis (“the Institutor”), who was the embodiment of divine order & law. This places them as sisters of the Hours.

In the cosmogony of Alcman (7th century BC), first came Thetis (“disposer, creation”) & then simultaneously Poros (“path”) & Tekmor (“end post, ordinance”). Poros is related to the end of all things.

Later, in the Orphic cosmogony, first came Thesis, whose ineffable nature is unexpected. Ananke (“necessity”) is the primeval goddess of inevitability who is entwined with the time-god Chronos, at the very beginning of time. They represented the cosmic forces of Fate & Time. They were sometimes called to control the fates of the gods. The 3 Moirai are daughters of Ananke.

In the Theogony of Hesiod, the 3 Moirai are personified as the daughters of Nyx & are acting the gods. Later they were daughters of Zeus & Themis, who was the embodiment of divine order & law. In Pluto’s Republic, the 3 Fates are daughters of Ananke (necessity).

The Moirai were supposed to appear 3 nights after a kid’s birth to determine the course of its life. At Sparta, the Temple to the Moirai stood near the communal hearth of the polis. Polis means “city” in Ancient Greek.

As the goddesses of birth who even prophesied the fate of the newly born, Elieithyia, the ancient Minoan goddess of childbirth & divine midwifery, was their companion.

The Erinyes, a group of chthonic goddesses of vengeance, served as tools of the Moirai. Chthonic means concerning, belonging to, or inhabiting the underworld. They inflicted punishment for evil deeds, particularly upon those who sought to avoid their rightful destiny. The Morai were confused with the Erinyes, as well as the death-goddesses, the Keres.

In earlier times, they were pictured as only a few, or perhaps only 1, individual goddess Homer’s Illiad speaks generally of the Moira, who spins the thread of life for men at their birth. She’s Moria Krataia, “powerful Moira,” or there are several Moirai.

In the Odyssey, there’s a reference to the Klothes, or spinners. At Delphi, only the Fates of Birth & Death were revered. In Athens, Aphrodite was called Aphrodite Urania, the “eldest of the Fates.”

In the older myths, they’re daughters of primeval beings like Nyx (“night”) in Theogony, or Ananke in Orphic cosmogony.

The Moirai could be placated as goddesses. Brides in Athens offered them locks of hair, & women swore by them. They may have originated as a birth goddesses & only later their reputation as the agents of destiny. The Moirai were also credited to be the inventors of 7 Greek letters – A, B, H, I, T, & Y.

The Fates had at least 3 known temples: Ancient Corinth, Sparta, & Thebes. The temple in Sparta was situated next to the grave/tomb of Orestes.
