Top Live-Action Disney Remakes Ranked

Disney ventured into live-action remakes of its cherished animated classics back in the '90s with films like 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians. However, it was the monumental success of Cinderella in 2015 and The Jungle Book in 2016 that truly set the stage for a new era. The financial triumph of Beauty and the Beast in 2017, which crossed the billion-dollar mark, solidified Disney's commitment to this lucrative path.

Now, with the recent release of the much-anticipated live-action adaptation of the adored Lilo & Stitch, and closely followed by Snow White, it's a perfect time to celebrate these cinematic endeavors. We're thrilled to present our curated list of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes.

While some Disney purists might dismiss these remakes outright, and debates continue about whether they're merely cashing in on nostalgia or lacking the soul of the original animations, there's no denying that some of these films shine brightly.
