Disney ventured into the realm of live-action remakes of its iconic animated films back in the '90s, with hits like *101 Dalmatians* and *102 Dalmatians*. However, it was the smashing success of *Cinderella* in 2015 and *The Jungle Book* in 2016 that truly set the stage for a new era. And when *Beauty and the Beast* crossed the billion-dollar mark in 2017, there was no turning back for the House of Mouse.
With the latest live-action adaptation of the cherished and merchandise-rich *Lilo & Stitch* hitting theaters this week, closely followed by *Snow White*, we're diving into our own celebration of Disney's live-action magic. We're excited to unveil our list of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes.
While some staunch Disney fans might scoff at these remakes, viewing them as mere cash grabs or lacking the soul of the original animated classics, there's no denying that among them are some real treasures. These films are often helmed by directors who hold a deep respect for the source material and manage to breathe fresh life into beloved stories in meaningful ways.
