Every Live-Action Disney Remake, Ranked by Vulture

"When, at the height of the so-called Disney Renaissance in 1994, the studio that was producing a string of animated hits decided to revisit an old favorite in a new way, no one could have predicted what a gigantic industry Disney's live-action versions of its own animated movies would become. There were sporadic live-action adaptations in the years following that initial remake of 'The Jungle Book.' But the live-action remake trend really solidified in 2015 with the release of 'Cinderella.' Further faithful retellings have often resulted in hermetically sealed reenactments designed only to remind viewers of something they're already familiar with. Over the past decade, Disney has been mining its animated past more aggressively than ever before; following this week's release of 'Lilo & Stitch,' Disney has just one more live-action remake on the schedule: 'Moana," with announced new versions of 'Hercules,' 'Tangled,' and 'The Aristocats.'" - vulture.com
