It doesn't look as though Disney are planning to slow down on their live-action remakes any time soon. The internationally-loved company have been going through their old films at an ever-quickening rate to see which ones could do with a revamp and be given the live-action treatment.

With redos of The Lion King, Dumbo and Aladdin all set to be released next year, it's no surprise that even more of the old classics are being put through the remake mill - and we now have confirmation that a Lady and the Tramp movie is in the works.

First released in 1955, Lady and the Tramp followed the romance of a perfectly-groomed cocker spaniel named Lady and a stray street dog named Tramp - who helps Lady return home after she's kicked out.

Speaking to Collider, actor Thomas Mann, who's set to play Jim Dear in the upcoming remake, revealed that the film will star actual real-life dogs!

He said, "There are real dogs. Who doesn’t want to see two real dogs kiss over a plate of spaghetti? We shot with the dogs, every day. They were on set and they weren’t even trained. They found these dogs and started training them about three months before. They just wanted to find the perfect dogs.

"The main dog’s name was Rose, who played Lady. It was crazy because they didn’t know they were working, so they would run off in the middle of a take, and then come back over. You have to be extra patient because you have to be good every time for when they are good once. It was a lot of fun. It was so cute, every day, to just have a bunch of dogs to play with. It made the job a lot less stressful."

We cannot WAIT to hear more about this film!
