Every Disney Live Action Remake, Ranked
Updated May 2023 to add The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan & Wendy
For over 25 years, Disney has been looking inward for inspiration for its live-action films, using its vast and beloved catalog of animated features as source material for remakes. Buoyed by mostly strong box office numbers, those remakes have been increasing in frequency in recent years, with six arriving just since the start of 2019 and many more expected to arrive in the next few years.
In the gallery above, we rank each of Disney's live-action remakes (from 1994's The Jungle Book to the just-released The Little Mermaid) from best to worst by Metascore, which reflects the critical consensus for each film.
Sequel to remake of One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961)
Glenn Close returned as villainess Cruella de Vil in this 2000 sequel to Disney's 1996 live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians, but the results were pretty grim as critics found the film redundant and boring.
“So dull and formulaic, it ought to be leashed and led directly to the doghouse.” —Desson Thomson, The Washington Post
