All Disney Live-Action Remakes in Order

An early attempt by Disney to tell its classic realistically. Mowgli grows up among real animals in a wilder, more realistic jungle, with Jason Scott Lee in the lead. Visually impressive for its time.

Tim Burton's visual extravaganza: wild, colorful and unabashedly extravagant. Some find it confusing, others a fantastic spectacle, and it grossed over a billion dollars, kicking off the remake wave.

Angelina Jolie gives Maleficent new depth, from wicked fairy to misunderstood protector. A fresh take on Sleeping Beauty: gentle, dark and family-friendly.

Elegance itself. Gorgeous costumes, a classic moral and visual splendor: this remake honors the original without taking risks, but it's beautiful in style.

Jon Favreau's version is a technical marvel: lifelike animals, hyperrealistic jungles and a gripping adaptation. Critics and audiences were enthusiastic, and it grossed nearly a billion dollars.

An equally colorful sequel, but with less magic than its predecessor. Imaginative, but it misses Burton's directorial touch.

Emma Watson as Belle, Alan Menken's music in full glory. Visually rich and a huge box office hit, but it sometimes feels like a precise copy.

Adulthood and nostalgia meet in this gentle follow-up, with a moving look at Pooh, imagination and grown-up life.

Tim Burton's interpretation is big, tragic and atmospheric, but lacks the simplicity and charm of the original little flying elephant.

Will Smith as the Genie, colorful and musical. Nostalgic and safe, but a visual feast, and a billion-dollar hit.

Photorealistic wild animals and a familiar story. Technically brilliant but emotionally flat, though it became one of the highest-grossing films ever.

A romantic dog adventure with stylish spaghetti and evening light: charming and Disney+-perfect, but not especially innovative.

No songs, but warriors. A visually impressive tribute with mixed reactions to its tone and new interpretation.

Emma Stone as young Cruella de Vil in a punky fashion caper. Streetwise, sharp and stylish, with a dash of rebellion.

Tom Hanks as Geppetto, CGI mixed with live action. Reviews were mixed, but there was plenty of ambition.

A darker take on Neverland with refreshed mythology. Beautifully shot, but many viewers struggled with the tone.

Rachel Zegler's Snow White drew mixed reactions: beautiful, but controversial, and a box office disappointment.

High nostalgia and record-breaking success, crossing a billion dollars worldwide. Stitch lives on in CGI form, and many nostalgic hearts melted all over again.

A live-action musical set in the Pacific, with Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui and Catherine Laga'aia as Moana. The film arrived just ten years after the animated original. More remakes are on the way, including Tangled.

Glenn Close as the flamboyant Cruella de Vil steals practically the whole show in this fashionable dog drama. Charming, nostalgic and a box office success, it's one of Disney's first big live-action remakes.

A sequel nobody needed, but still entertaining, especially for fans of glitter, dogs and Cruella's theatrical antics.
