In a brief article on Animated News:

"Pettler, who took on duties for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and wrote the script in a month..."

This ... explains ... EVERYTHING.

They could still set it in WWII ... it's a perrenial source of no-contest bad guys. No one minds if you kill a bunch of Nazis.

They probably want to play with their computers some more.

"Nazi's! I hate those guys!"

As much as I'd love to see that happen, I just can't even see Disney thinking of that possibility. They'll use the exuse of 'updating it for this generation'. And I'd put money on the odds that they move the setting to somewhere in the US. I just know it. And the animals, (undersea and soccergame) they'll be CG. I just know it.

I sound so bitter, but Disney has let me down so many times...

Of course the animals will be CG, they'll want to make it look like they're really there – I'm sure if the 1960s (or whenever it came out) animators had had CG at their disposal, they'd have used it.

They didn't 'update' Narnia, which has the same wartime background... but then, if they had, a million fans would boycott the movie. Who knows. Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
