Author : Amelia May 23,2025

Disney ventured into the realm of live-action remakes of its beloved animated classics back in the '90s with films like *101 Dalmatians* and *102 Dalmatians*. However, it was the resounding success of *Cinderella* in 2015 and *The Jungle Book* in 2016 that truly set the stage for a new era. The monumental achievement of *Beauty and the Beast* in 2017, crossing the billion-dollar mark, solidified Disney's commitment to this lucrative trend. There was no turning back after that.

This week, Disney's latest live-action venture, the much-anticipated *Lilo & Stitch*, hits theaters, closely following the release of *Snow White*. In celebration, we've decided to curate our own list of the Best Live-Action Disney Remakes, painting the roses red with nostalgia and admiration.

Many of these films are helmed by directors who hold a deep reverence for the source material, bringing fresh, poignant perspectives to these timeless tales.
