Ranking Disney's Top Live-Action Film Remakes

Disney first experimented with live-action versions of its classic animated films in the 1990s—remember "101 Dalmatians" and "102 Dalmatians"? However, the studio truly found its formula with the successes of 2015's "Cinderella" and 2016's "The Jungle Book." There was no turning back after that. And when the 2017 remake of "Beauty and the Beast" soared past the $1 billion mark? That sealed the deal.

With Disney's newest live-action adaptation—the cherished (and hugely merchandisable) "Lilo & Stitch"—arriving in theaters this week, hot on the heels of "Snow White," we're seizing the moment to present our ranking of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes.

For some dedicated Disney fans, these live-action remakes are an easy skip. No matter your stance on the commercial nature of these projects, or if you find them lacking the soul of the original animated classics, there are genuine standouts among them. Several directors have approached these stories with deep respect, finding fresh and meaningful ways to bring them to life. What's your top live-action Disney remake? Did it make our list?
