Top Disney Live-Action Remakes Ranked

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.
