You might have spotted the news that Home Alone has been added to the seemingly never-ending list of Disney remakes that are happening.

In response to the news, Macaulay Culkin — star of the beloved 1990 original — tweeted a photo of what the updated movie would actually look like.

And yeah, considering eight-year-old Kevin McCallister successfully set up a Saw-like labyrinth of death traps for two criminals at Christmas time, twice, he's probably not far off.

"Disney, call me!" he tweeted in a follow-up.

Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the studio would be "reimagining" the '90s Christmas favourite for its streaming service Disney+. Other reimagined films include Cheaper By The Dozen, Night at the Museum, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Disney+ will launch in the U.S. in November and will roll out in the UK in 2020.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.
