Although Pixar‘s parent company, Disney, has transformed animated classics into more than 20 (and counting) live-action remakes since the 1990s, Pixar’s chief creative officer Pete Docter will not let the computer animation company follow suit.
In a recent interview with Time, Docter was asked if he’d ever consider developing live-action versions of Pixar’s films after a fan campaign to cast Josh O’Connor (“Challengers,” “The Crown”) in a live-action “Ratatouille” started trending online.
“No, and this might bite me in the butt for saying it, but it sort of bothers me,” Docter told the publication. “I like making movies that are original and unique to themselves. To remake it, it’s not very interesting to me personally.”
