Questlove noted that it was “the third time that a new administration has arrived” and explained its vision for ARISTOCATS adaptation. He said he had presented “some of the musical examples” and some of the teammates who would work with him.
“Then they had another mix of administration,” he added. “And then it was like” ok, well, okay. “”
Questlove said that “in the third time, I said to myself:” Maybe it is not intended for me. “”
From ARISTOCATS Had not advanced, Questlove chose to explore other options and avoid the Disney remake.
“I would have loved doing this project, but there are like 20 others to which I can get there,” he said. “What I don’t do is that I don’t make any advertisements until it is ready, but there are literally four other films. I will work until 2029-2030. So it was simply not supposed to happen. Maybe it will happen in the future.”
