Mar 1300:05:19Tap to summarizeSteven Spielberg is heading back to his blockbuster roots with the Disclosure Day trailer, a sci-fi thriller that feels like the adult evolution of E.T.—where both the government and the aliens are equally terrifying. While we wrap our heads around that, The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer has us checking our fits and celebrating the return of Stanley Tucci, even if we’re still trying to remember everyone’s names. We’re also bracing for a massive week of trailers with Dune 3 and Spider-Man: A Brand New Day expected to ride the "Ryan Gosling effect" hype before Project Hail Mary. To top it all off, we’re heading back to the original chaotic family dynamic with the trailer for Malcolm in the Middle: Life is Still Unfair, a true sequel that reunites the entire original cast 20 years later.

While we celebrate that pitch-perfect casting, we’re looking at the animated vault to see which other films are due for a real-world upgrade. We’re breaking down why Treasure Planet, Big Hero 6, and Raya and the Last Dragon are the trio that actually deserve the live-action treatment.
