Disney had a big presentation on upcoming movies.

Let me tell you there are a few of things that were announced that you didn't see coming.

All of these points are taken from Latino Review.

The Lone Ranger has been greenlit. The studio was wondering who could possibly play the role of The Lone Ranger when Johnny Depp came walking out in full Captain Jack Sparrow gear holding a six shooter and a mask.

Oprah Winfrey has been cast as the mother of the princess in Disney's upcoming The Princess and the Frog.

Up will be Pixar's first film in 3-D.

National Treasure 3 has been greenlit. No news on story but Cage is back in the role. Cage will also be starring in a movie called The Sorcerer's Apprentice based off of the Mickey character in Fantasia.

The Princess and the Frog looks really good. And Up is actually the title. I have no idea what they're thinking with the Lone Ranger idea.

*laughs out loud* If they get Johnny Depp to play the Lone Ranger, who's going to play Tonto? It's not like you can say to Johnny Depp, "What you mean we, white man?" :)

Depp's actually on as Tonto - with the Ranger still to be cast.

I'm torn between disappointed and relieved to hear this. :)

I have no idea. There are so many things weird about this project, I'm not sure where to start.
