Sean Bailey was named President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production in 2010, overseeing live-action films including Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, and the recent The Little Mermaid.
Bailey's other plans for the future include a "big, epic" The Lion King saga akin to the "Star Wars" franchise. Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King, a photorealistic prequel written and directed by Barry Jenkins, is set for release in 2024.
