Remaking animated films or TV shows in live-action is becoming more frequent in Hollywood — just look at shows like “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” “One Piece,” and “Cowboy Bebop.” But the studio that has done this most successfully — and most frequently — is Disney.
There have been 20 live-action remakes or reimaginings of its classic animated films, give or take a few additional sequels.
While not all of them have been well-reviewed — and, arguably, they’re mediocre at best — most of these movies made a lot of money at the box office.
For example, “Beauty and the Beast,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Aladdin,” “The Lion King,” and “Lilo & Stitch” all crossed the $1 billion mark, according to Box Office Mojo data.
However, “Moana,” the 20th film in this makeshift franchise, doesn’t look like it’ll replicate that success, at least not immediately.
The movie was released Friday, and early estimates put the opening weekend at the domestic box office between $40 and $60 million, much less than those billion-dollar grossers.
We ranked these movies based on their quality, the changes made from the source material, casting, and more.
Here are all 20 live-action remakes, ranked from worst to best — in our opinion.
