Top 10 Live-Action Disney Remakes Ranked

Disney ventured into live-action remakes of its classic animated films back in the '90s, with movies like *101 Dalmatians* and *102 Dalmatians* paving the way. However, it was the resounding success of 2015's *Cinderella* and 2016's *The Jungle Book* that truly set the stage for a new era of Disney remakes. The turning point came with 2017's *Beauty and the Beast*, which not only crossed the billion-dollar mark but also solidified Disney's commitment to this lucrative genre.

Now, with the much-anticipated live-action version of the adored (and highly merchandised) *Lilo & Stitch* hitting theaters this week, and closely following the release of *Snow White*, we've decided to celebrate by curating our own list of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes.

While some ardent Disney fans might view these remakes with skepticism, often citing them as mere cash grabs or lacking the soul of the original animations, there's no denying that some of these films shine brightly. Many of these projects are helmed by directors who deeply respect the source material and bring fresh, meaningful interpretations to these timeless stories.
