Disney ventured into live-action adaptations of its classic animated films during the '90s, with notable entries like 101 Dalmatians and its sequel, 102 Dalmatians. However, the studio truly found its stride in 2015 with Cinderella, followed by The Jungle Book in 2016, which proved to be game-changers. Then came Beauty and the Beast in 2017, breaking box office records and crossing the billion-dollar mark—a triumph that sealed Disney’s commitment to this genre.
As Disney prepares to release yet another live-action remake of the cherished Lilo & Stitch—joining the lineup alongside the highly anticipated Snow White—we thought it fitting to celebrate the best of these adaptations. While some purists dismiss these remakes as cash grabs or argue they lack the soul of their animated predecessors, others recognize the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into bringing these timeless tales to life.
Several directors have managed to honor the original material while adding fresh perspectives, creating adaptations that resonate deeply with audiences. Whether you’re a fan of these films or remain skeptical, one thing is clear: they continue to captivate global audiences. Which live-action Disney remake is your favorite?
