Top Live-Action Disney Remakes Ranked

Author : Blake May 25,2025

Disney has been exploring live-action remakes of its iconic animated films since the '90s, with notable early successes like 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians. However, it was the blockbuster hits Cinderella in 2015 and The Jungle Book in 2016 that truly set the stage for a renaissance of these adaptations. The momentum only grew with Beauty and the Beast in 2017, which soared past the billion-dollar mark at the box office, solidifying the trend's staying power.

This week marks the theatrical release of Disney's latest live-action remake, the cherished Lilo & Stitch, closely followed by the much-anticipated Snow White. In celebration, we're thrilled to unveil our curated list of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes. While some ardent Disney fans might find these remakes less enchanting, dismissing them as mere cash grabs or lacking the soul of the originals, there's no denying the presence of some truly remarkable adaptations among them. These films, often helmed by directors who hold a deep respect for the source material, manage to reimagine these classic tales in fresh and meaningful ways.
