Menken is also working on new music for a live-action film adaptation of "The Little Mermaid", directed by Rob Marshall, with longtime "The Little Mermaid" fan Lin-Manuel Miranda, whom Menken knew since the former's childhood, as Miranda went to the same school as Menken's niece. Menken will also once again be working with Stephen Schwartz to write new songs for "Disenchanted", the sequel to "Enchanted", and for a remake of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", which Menken will score. Menken is also working alongside former Disney chief creative officer John Lasseter on a project at Skydance Animation. On May 20, the project was revealed to be Vicky Jenson's "Spellbound". Menken will co-write songs for "Spellbound" alongside Glenn Slater, with whom he worked in "Home on the Range" and "Tangled". Menken is also reportedly attached to a sequel to "Aladdin".
