Marv and Harry aren’t going to be up for this.

Home Alone is an absolute classic and plays in households across the world over the holiday season. Like – EVERY SINGLE HOUSE. So when I heard this news, my immediate reaction was:

Get a load of this…

Source: Disney is rebooting Home Alone, and has set Disney+ as the home for the reimagining. Over the last two years, Disney has seen two major changes come its way. They announced that they were developing a streaming service of their own, one that will offer content from Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and more all in one place. But, Disney’s vast library of pre-existing content and their slate of original offerings for Disney+ were not viewed as enough content for the service if it was going to compete with the streaming giant that is Netflix.

Disney began finalizing its acquisition of the movie and TV divisions of 21st Century Fox in late 2017. One of the primary reasons behind this purchase according to Disney CEO Bob Iger was to gain access to more titles and IP to put on their streaming service, or Hulu (which they now own full control of). The interest in having known franchises like Avatar, Planet of the Apes, Alien, and Kingsman wasn’t just for big-screen adaptations though. Disney now has a wealth of popular Fox IPs that they can put on their streaming services, or even reboot now.

So they say, when it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The movie is gold, it’s timeless, and it’s loved by enough people as it is. Hands to yourself.

Leave Kevin alone, Disney.

He prefers it that way.
