Top Disney Live-Action Remakes Ranked

by Isaac May 23,2025

Disney's journey into live-action remakes of its classic animated films took a significant leap in the '90s with movies like *101 Dalmatians* and *102 Dalmatians*. However, it was the success of *Cinderella* in 2015 and *The Jungle Book* in 2016 that solidified Disney's commitment to this trend. The monumental achievement of *Beauty and the Beast* in 2017, crossing the billion-dollar mark, only confirmed Disney's new direction.

This week, Disney's latest live-action venture, the much-loved *Lilo & Stitch*, hits theaters, closely following the release of *Snow White*. Inspired by these releases, we've decided to create our own ranking of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes.

While some dedicated Disney fans might view these remakes skeptically, often critiquing them as mere cash grabs or lacking the soul of the original animations, there are indeed treasures among them. Some of these films are helmed by directors who deeply respect the source material, bringing fresh and meaningful interpretations to beloved stories. Which live-action Disney remake is your favorite? Does it feature on our list? Cast your vote in our poll below to see!

(Please note, this list focuses solely on remakes and does not include prequels, sequels, or re-imagined character stories such as *Maleficent*, *Cruella*, or *Christopher Robin*.)
