I logged onto Twitter late last night to see a trending topic was the news of a “Home Alone” reboot!

Naturally, I had to read what this was all about.  According to the account @getFANDOM, now that The Walt Disney Company has acquired 20th Century Fox, Disney CEO, Bob Iger, announced reboots and reimaginings for Disney+ (Disney’s upcoming streaming service) including: “Diary of a Whimpy Kid”, “Cheaper by the Dozen”, “Night at the Museum”, and “Home Alone”.

Many Christmas tales get retold just as classic Christmas carols are sung by many different singers, but there’s something about certain films that I just can not imagine being told differently. “Home Alone” always felt like one of those ‘untouchable’, for lack of a better word, holiday films.

I mean, who could play Kevin McCallister quite like Macaulay Culkin?

Now, the original tweet said ‘reboots and reimaginings’, so it’s possible that they may just continue the “Home Alone” franchise.  There are currently 4 more movies that followed the original 1990 film, including: “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” (1992–also starring Culkin), “Home Alone 3” (1997), “Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House” (2002) and “Home Alone: The Holiday Heist” (2012).

Here’s hoping this is just “Home Alone 6”, but really… with the type of advanced technology we have these days and ride sharing apps, I wonder how this movie would even play out.

That being said, Culkin responded to the news with a photo and a call out tweet to Disney!

What are your thoughts?

Stay merry!
