Does #HomeAlone really need a Disney reboot? Or is this yet another sign of a studio that has run out of ideas, clinging to older successes as a cash cow? Discuss…. pic.twitter.com/6BixtalJCt

Please Disney do not remake Home Alone & ruin it. It’s one of the all time classic films & the last thing it needs is a remake. #HomeAlone pic.twitter.com/jvNvL67UwS

How is Disney going to remake Home Alone, with all the technological advancements in the past 30 years? Kevin would probably be playing Fortnite when Harry and Marv break in & cops would be called because there’s no way an 8 year old could be distracted from gaming #HomeAlone pic.twitter.com/rUYmYzo87f
