Top Live-Action Disney Remakes Ranked

Disney has been enchanting audiences with live-action remakes of its classic animated films since the '90s, starting with hits like 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians. However, it was the success of Cinderella in 2015 and The Jungle Book in 2016 that truly set the stage for a new era of Disney magic. The phenomenal box office performance of Beauty and the Beast in 2017, which crossed the billion-dollar mark, solidified Disney's commitment to this lucrative trend.

This week marks the release of Disney's latest live-action venture, the much-anticipated Lilo & Stitch, following closely on the heels of the Snow White remake. In celebration of these releases, we've decided to share our curated list of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes.

While some Disney purists might dismiss these remakes as mere cash grabs, and debates continue about whether they capture the soul of the original animated classics, there's no denying that several of these films are truly exceptional. Some directors have approached these projects with deep respect for the source material, breathing new life into these timeless stories in ways that resonate with both new and returning fans.
