Disney experimented with live-action adaptations of its classic animated films in the 1990s, as seen with 101 Dalmatians and its sequel. But after striking gold with 2015's Cinderella and 2016's The Jungle Book, the studio never looked back. The billion-dollar success of 2017's Beauty and the Beast remake cemented Disney's commitment to these reimaginings.
With Disney's latest live-action reboot—the adored (and highly merchandisable) Lilo & Stitch—debuting this week alongside Snow White's recent revival, we're celebrating with our definitive ranking of Disney's best live-action remakes.
While some Disney purists dismiss these adaptations outright, ignoring debates about commercialization or faithfulness to the originals, several standout films elevate the concept. Talented directors have infused fresh perspectives while honoring beloved stories. Which remake tops your list? Did it make ours? Cast your vote below...
(Note: This ranking focuses solely on direct remakes—excluding prequels, sequels, or character-focused spinoffs like Maleficent or Cruella.)
