I Ranked Every Disney Remake So You Don't Have To

- Today I'm ranking every Disney Live-Action remake that Disney studios has ever made; including Aladdin, Maleficent, Cinderella, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, Cruella, and the Alice in Wonderland movies. I also talk about The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan and Wendy which you know I'm not a fan of. Here is my reaction to all of these movies in a tier list from best to worst.

I would have put Mulan all the way down, not only for the reasons that you already said... But because it change the true message from the animated: "A woman can do whatever a man can do"... In the live action was like "Only a woman with super powers could do the same as a man"
Mulan in the live action version has no character arc. She doesn't overcome any real obstacles. In the animated version, Mulan is smaller and weaker than everyone else and so needs to find some other way to succeed that does not depend on physical strength. When she finally does, the movie soars, her victory is well deserved and the audience cheers. In the new version, Mulan is already a complete bad ass. The only thing she needs to succeed is for everyone to get out of her damn way. Not very relatable, nor interesting to watch.
I was expecting it to be all the way down xD
There was no reason to change Mulan 😭
I liked Mulan. I never cared about the messages I just wanna see the action.
Late, but I want to add that the fact that the animated version also kept the themes of parent-child duty, familial love, honor and humility the original Ballad of Mulan was about, on top of keeping the same ending as the ballad too (aka: Mulan rejects the fame and glory and says she only wants to return home with her family as they were the reason why she did everything in the story in the first place).
While it's true that the animated version obviously lacks _some_ themes present on the ballad which were important in Chinese culture, the live-action had _none_. Truly worthless and disrespectful in every aspect.
The “live action” lion king is like the definition of “just because you could doesn’t mean you should”
You mean the second animated Lion King?
right! When they announced it i got so excited because i thought we'd get an adaptation to human form. And was day dreaming about the costumes based of the broadway show. Welp. I guess depressed lions work too.
I watched it because it was on TV and...who thought getting rid of scar's song was a good idea? Mind-blowingly bad idea. That's when I finally turned off the TV.
Facts!😎🦁
According to Wikipedia, "The Lion King (2019)" had a box office return of $1.663 billion, and made a net profit of "$580 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues."
The Disney(TM)(C) reasoing is "We can and we should, and we should do it more often".
I still think Cinderella is the best Disney live-action movie. And I know I'm not the only one. In the original, I feel like they focused too much on the mouse and Lucifer the cat as the subplot unnecessary. The live-action does not do that
Totally agree, Cinderella is the ONLY good one, period 😆
I agree it's so good! And that swing scene!!
Yass
I agree, but I also love Lucifer 😄
I liked it too. The way they added an actual backstory to Cinderella and the Princes story, and that Ella was kind of a peacenik who was protecting the creatures of the forest. She was genuinely likeable too, not just a generic princess.
Cinderella is my favourite remake, based on the fact that it's an actual REMAKE. As in it actually tries to re-do the story in its own way. It isn't a musical, it doesn't rely on nostalgia from the original, and the way it handles the gradual abuse from the step-family is perfect.
Plus the ball scene if proof that the 'realistic' argument for Little Mermaid is BS. The gold of the palace, the jewel tones of the gowns, and Ella's bright blue that helps her visually stand out is just **chef's kiss**
@@PhoebeBuffet why? the actress did cinderella perfectly!
Not sure if you're aware but the remake of Cinderella basically copies their "original" story from various other adaptations of the fairy tale, like the 1973 Czech Movie "Three wishes/hazelnuts for Cinderella" (I guess everyone in Europe knows this version lol).. so yeah, there goes Disneys "own way".
@Pisaroto Yeah, I like it BECAUSE it combines elements from the actual original story with beloved elements from Disney’s Cinderella.
@Phoebe Buffet That blue dress stands out surprisingly during the ball scene, and it has to do with the amazing costume design and choices from the costume designer.
Cindy literally gave up at the end and sang to get the prince's attention.
If you want a better live action Cinderella, go see Ever After.
To be fair, Maleficent and Alice in Wonderland aren’t remakes. Maleficent was more of a “re-imagining” while Alice in Wonderland (and it’s sequel) was I believe supposed to be a continuation of the OG Alice in Wonderland.
Wait, why am I trying to make sense of these movies?? 🤔
Cruella too.
@@tonatiuhnino3711 yes. That as well. More of an origin story, I guess
@@tonatiuhnino3711 didn't both maleficent and cruella have backstories where both villains came as they were like alpha and glinda were in wicked?
@@silashurd3597 an origin story that makes her not evil, thus not cruel AND she's just really copying the baroness
Yes they are not remakes and never were introduced as remakes, which makes sense as it's a different story. They are retelling and count as original movies.
Cinderella is a top-tier live action remake that Disney has ever made, it remains faithful to the story and it can still stand on its own and not dependent on the original. yes ofc the plot is predictable cuz its Cinderella everybody knows her rags to riches story. yet the movie stands out among the rest since it pays respect to the original, adding a storyline that the ella and kit met before the ball is chefs kiss cuz it adds depth to the story, "Have courage and be kind" serves as a binder thru out the story, its serves as a weapon. Her childhood with her mother and father binds the story overall. might as well throw the amazing casting and production for extra credit.
Cinderella gets a bad rap because the message does not resonate with people anymore. "Stay Strong and All Will Be Well" is the very essence of a fairy tale, i.e. not realistic at all. We all know far too many people for whom this is not the case. Cinderella has no agency. She does nothing to improve her situation. Everything that happens to her is because of what others do, most notably the Deus Ex Machina fairy godmother. There is limited appeal to the story since it advocates for kindness above all else but everyone who's ever seen it wouldn't have objected if Cinderella had slipped a sleeping draught into her step mother's and step sisters' wine and then slipped off to the ball all on her own. Waiting around for a prince or a fairy godmother is a pretty bad plan.
No
i think the cinderella live action was one of the worst because of all the empty filler, the lack of life, taking away the three most emotionally powerful scenes
I honestly don’t agree with most of that list, but life would be boring if everyone had the same opinions on everything, and I do like listening to what she has to say about them
Honestly, me too. I clicked the video knowing I wasn’t going to agree. But I still wanted to hear her opinion.
dam actual people that care for other’s opinion ive never seen that but im glad i am
Which ones stood out for you for really bad and really good?
@@indigocrayon520 Me and my family love the Maleficent movies so I think the first one is pretty awesome, but the second one is pretty okay or meh to me, I don’t think awful tho. I also really liked the Alice in wonderland stuff, first one great, second one kinda bad, but I can still like a movie even if I think is not great.
I thought Mulan was awful truly, me and my homies tried watching it together at some point, but only got like 10 or 20 minutes in before unanimously deciding to watch something else. I finished it off at a later point and wondered why I even bothered.
And Aladdin was just kinda okay to me, I didn’t like it that much.
Those were the movies where our opinions definitely clashed, what about you? Which were your favorites and least favorites?
@@mintymouths I have pretty much the same opinion. I rate Maleficent 2 lower though. Aurora is character assassinated. I just don't see her betraying Maleficent like that especially right after seeing the cruelty against her in the first one. Everyone wanted Maleficent dead and now that the stakes are lower and she has her prince's love and there's no secrets between them anymore she breaks under pressure? She's been strong willed from the start. She is the princess of the fairies. They are her family and while she'd like her beau's family's approval I don't think she'd be so desperate for it. Ultimately she already has a kingdom and if she wanted she could convince him to live with her as protest because I do believe they'd give in.
Also to force the rest of the fairies into such an uncomfortable vulnerable position when she knows how scared of humans they are. Like they wanted to support her and she is sheltered but I feel like she'd be more thoughtful about the wedding and the state of the fairies.
Idk I really didn't like how they went about the second movie and I had hoped they'd cover Aurora trying to get the humans to be friendly to fairies for the sake of peace for both species. Not the royal family only. I expected the royal family to scheme but I hoped Aurora would be more active among commoners to teach them that fairies are friends and then after seeing how the royal family schemed against them they'd revolt and save the fairies and then peace and such.
The fact that u put cinderella into meh is a crime. Its fantastic. I love that kit is an actual character with emotions and personality. I love that they actually had a theme and meaning to the movie “have courage and be kind” The visuals are fantastic and its a wonderful remake of cinderella because its an actual remake. Its not a musical, cinderella actually feels like a person with character and personality. It’s beautifully casted, and the visual are astounding as well. I understand these are all just your opinions; but in this case ur opinion is just wrong💀 u cannot have put CHRISTOPHER ROBIN above Cinderella omg
Agree with you 100%.
I’m in absolute pain and agony to see that Cinderella is being put on a meh tier slot.
I personally love Cinderella and it remains the blue print for a excellent adaptation for live action.
I actually really LOVE the first Alice in Wonderland! I think it has a unique dark whimsicalness to it. The characters are fun and strange, and I actually like Alice, growing and coming into her own. She is sort of bland at first, but that's a part of it--"She's lost her muchness"--but she grows and finds it in the end.
But I'm with you on the second one. That one just doesn't hit. The story makes zero sense, and the characters do feel off
I think it was ok. Not amazing per se but an ok watch. Second one...I don't even remember much of what happened there other than Hatter losing his marbles and them trying to make the Queen of Hearts into someone more sympathetic...when all that happened was that the White Queen ate a tart and blamed it on her. I know that kids can take some stuff more seriously than they should but really? Over a tart? And she still holds a grudge even in adulthood over a tart?
I think Cinderella is objectively better than the ones you put above it.
That dress was to die for, literally a perfect way to adapt something, but I also love that it actually developed a lot of the characters and their stories. The Prince gets more of a personality and Cinderella's childhood is actually seen
As someone who saw the dress in person, the its jaw dropping gorgeous. The film doesn't do it enough justice, as well as her shoes and other jewelry. (MOPOP about 2 years ago)
This! Comparing to the characters of Beauty and The Beast chemistry was better and it wasn't toxic. Also I didn't like that they changed Belle's personality to make her 'strong feminist' when the OG already was whereas in Cinderella they added stories to explore more of her kindness and understand her
The Jungle Book was top tier. They did the realistic-looking animals while STILL allowing them to emote. The songs were good. The casting was good. The story was different enough from the animated version that the movie can stand alone as its own thing. It was great!
It also had an a compelling nature versus nurture argument and went for the nature side .
What if they did that also to pinoccio and the lion king?
What if they didn’t turn Pinocchio into a Marty Stu and Mulan into a Mary Sue?
@@ProJatior what if they didn’t remake Mulan? 😊
My girlfriend and I were watching this and I was genuinely stressed about seeing any of the Dalmatian movies in the Awful-Bad tier because I wholeheartedly adore those films so much for their creativity and slapstick humor. Glad to see Cruella getting more love! Absolutely worth having that one on DVD. How did you feel about the first 2 Dalmatian movies? I noticed they didn't get ranked.
Yea I saw them down there to be ranked and then they just…. Weren’t. And I was sad.
@@forestgrump4723she probably hasn’t watched them
It might also be because she seemed to be ranking only the live-action films since Alice in Wonderland when Disney really began to see them as a profitable venture. The previous Jungle Book and Dalmation films did not really make enough money to justify funneling millions into similar remakes the way that Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and Maleficent did.
@@daltonhackett6520 That makes sense, thank you!
Not saying they are the best, but the Maleficent movies hold a special place in my heart, I love them, especially the first one, that movie was so inspiring for my 7 year old self, I even have the art book, with really cool illustrations, and the second one is just for nostalgia, I like how these movies were vastly different from its source
I think I personally have a soft spot for Cinderella because I absolutely adore the outfits that we saw the characters in. The step mother and the step sisters, the prince and Cinderella herself, you could see that all the outfits were carefully planned out to suit the character and to add to their image. And they all looked gorgeous
I loved Maleficent then I love revenge movies and this was great. I think it slightly suffered in some scenes but it reimagined the story and made a great case for the villain.
The first one wasn’t bad
@@Brittney_Reacts_ I feel like they shouldve kept it at the first one since the second one didn’t really connect yk
@@Brittney_Reacts_ It was alright but they still ruined the whole story of Sleeping Beauty.
@@Brittney_Reacts_ Does anyone think the second one was a good idea? Considering the second had 2 more writers (red flag!) added to the first I wonder!
I honestly really enjoyed Maleficent! I thought it was really neat that they created something new with the story. I honestly believe the second one was okay idk maybe I just like maleficents character. It has been awhile since I’ve seen it so I should probably give it a rewatch.
For me, almost all of them would be put in the awful category. The absolute worst ones for me are both of the Alice in Wonderland films, plus Beauty and the Beast. The only ones that I can say are ones I actually rewatch are the 1994 Jungle Book (it's got young & hot Jason Scott Lee and the young and charming Lena Headey...even if it plays out like Tarzan in India), Cinderella, the first Maleficent film, and Cruella.
I’d love to see an update once The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan come out!!
Yes of course!
Can't say I agree with all your choices but it was a decent list. How come the first 101 Dalmations wasn't on here? Glenn Close forever will be Cruella to me, she's amazing!!!
I havet seen it
@@Brittney_Reacts_ Oh girl! You should lol.
@@Brittney_Reacts_ You need to. It’s brilliant. It’s “home alone” but with puppies.
I'm so happy to see 'Cruella' getting more love! 😁
It deserves better for sure
I liked the first Alice movie because it's the closest I'll ever get to my teenhood dream of Tim Butrton directing a live action adaptation of American McGee's Alice.
They remade Pete's Dragon?
I loved Pete's Dragon, it made me cry sooo much!!! I'm okay with the live-action Cinderella as well but I was angry they robbed us of "A dream is a wish your heart makes" and "this is love". No, I don't count the song at the end credits as enough. Malificent was an okay movie but still meh. Cruella was pretty good aside from the race-swapping and random things that didn't make sense lol.
If they ever make movies out of the American McGee Alice games, he needs to direct them himself not Tim Burton 😅 Tim Burton characters always have the same look to them while American McGee loves to create ugly and cruel looking creatures. His vision is much darker and the movies need to showcase that.
What I liked about Christopher Robin is how his regular life and history of the suitcases revival was going to middle class families on vacation. Pretty great situation and resolution for a film.
Another great video, Brittney. Tbh, I would've put Aladdin in the "okay" list cos I still much preferred the animated one. Robin Williams was so iconic and hilarious as Genie and I felt the original Genie was actually written as a much kinder and funnier character. Jafar was much more menacing in the original too, but, of course, I respect your opinion. I can easily watch the animated Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast over and over again, but these live action ones...meh, once is enough.
I do really like the live action 101 Dalmatians though and that was made at a time when Disney's live action films were few and far between. The screenplay was by John Hughes, so if you liked the Home Alone movies, you will probably enjoy that movie. Disney and in fact all these animation studios, need to start being creative again. Not everything needs a reboot/remake
Nope that one would've gone in the "awful" category for me, hated that movie with every fiber of my being!!!
I'm surprised that you didn't talk about The Jungle Book remake from 2016, even though you put the movie on the "good" section. This is the remake that I enjoyed the most, and the visual effects in this remake looks fantastic. I would even say that the remake is better than the animated version from 1967.
My Ranking:
1. The Jungle Book (2016)
2. Cinderella
3. Christopher Robin
4. Pete's Dragon
5. Cruella
6. 101 Dalmatians
7. Aladdin
8. Lady and the Tramp
9. The Sorcerer's Apprentice
10. Beauty and the Beast
11. Maleficent
12. The Jungle Book (1994)
13. Dumbo
14. Alice in Wonderland
15. The Lion King
16. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
17. Alice Through the Looking Glass
18. 102 Dalmatians
19. Mulan
20. Pinocchio
1-4 range from amazing to great, 5-8 range from good to okay, 9-14 range from mediocre to bad, and 15-20 range from terrible to abysmal.
Love this ranking! Yeah Pinocchio def deserves to be at the bottom
@@Brittney_Reacts_ Thanks.
In my opinion, 101 Dalmatians & 102 Dalmatians are the only good/great ones.
(i am not counting Christopher Robin or Pete's Dragon because they are not remakes at all)
In any how, out of those that came out in the 2010s & 2020s, i would say that Cinderella and Dumbo are the least bad, they are not entirely hatable or awful like some of the other movies, such as The Lion King which do not have any single real thing at all but is entirely CGI made.
Well, i totally agree with Pinocchio, that movie is easily the absolute worst remake so far, and also one of the worst movies from Disney ever, and one of the worst movies from 2022, one of the worst movies from American movie industri and one of the worst movies ever, and the only Disney live-action remake that i personally HATE.
so I grew up with the original 101 Dalmatians Movies with Glenn Close and those films kinda defined my childhood and it is still one of my favorite live action disney films they’ve ever made…
i agree with live action lion king being bad but live action cinderella is the best.
but I want to see the rest of the villians to have origin stories.
i thought i was the only one that loved Aladdin 😭 i sometimes rewatch it with my dad. its pretty fun to sing along to it
They should stop at Snow White coming out next year, it all started with the animated version might as well end it with the remake😩
I love tier lists, they’re so fun to watch. Please do more!
My dyslexic brain read “I love your tits, they’re so fun to watch” lmao 💀
Cruella reminded me of reading a good book. Felt like something Lemony Snicket would have written
Cruella is my new favorite Disney Live Action movie! I so can’t wait for Cruella 2 to start filming this year!
I feel Aladdin is very good the little mermaid looks promising and Malifacant 1 wasn’t that bad I thought Peetes dragon was great and Cinderella was forgettable but good I loved Christopher Robbin but thought it was bland buaety and the beast was good 👍 do you agree?
EDIT: cruella was fantastic and by far the best I really love it 😍
I mostly agree with these, although I'd move the Lion King to 'awful'. I actually walked out of the theatre I was so appalled lmao.
As a fan of American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns, the Tim Burton movies were great for me, although I agree that the lead actress had no personality whatsoever.
I'd bump Through the Looking Glass up too, just because although the Mad Hatter stuff was ATROCIOUS, I loved the message regarding how holding on to the past can prevent you from moving into the future. I think at the time the movie came out, I really needed that, so it has a soft spot in my eyes.
Christopher Robin was beautiful, too, it's so charming.
My favorite Alice in Wonderland take was a Syfy mini-series like 12 years ago. It went heavy in "Wonderland is..... wondrously.... dangerous" angle HARD. wonder land in that series was SCARY! But in a way that felt..... real, it wasn't so fantastical you never grasped the danger, in fact it was the opposite. every bit of danger was grounded enough that you could feel the danger. Even magic.... was used in ways that were relatable to RL.
I just want to say I started watching you from Velma and you just keep posting video after video that is super intriguing! Great work! You got a sub 😊
Thank you so much!!
Cinderella (2015) in my opinion is the best remake. In the original they actual gave Cinderella a proper backstory, the dress was drop dead gorgeous, the shoes were beautiful, Lady Tremaine was exactly how I wanted her to be and the prince was a character of his own.
honestly I was kind of disappointed in the live action mulan bc they didn’t even put mushu in, not even the lucky cricket
Cruella, Cinderella & Maleficent were at the top of my list.
Facts. Those movies I almost forgot that they were remakes. I think those three ars pretty good
Cinderella is probably the best remake they’ve done.
What I don’t like about most of these Disney remakes is that most of them are shot for shot remakes of the original with none of the original emotion or charm. I think remakes need to have things that are different compared to the original.
Cinderella is just perfect. What a visually gorgeous movie. I really felt like I was transported into a believable fairytale world, and the Cinderella character from the fairytale just came to life.
Respectfully, I disagree with your placement of Beauty and the Beast. One of my biggest issues with these films is that they add nonsense that adds nothing and actively hinders the stories they are trying to tell. Beauty and the Beast adds an invention subplot that foes nowhere. It adds backstory to Belle's mother to explain where she is because multiple Disney films have actively absent mother figures. Her death is ridiculously contrived to add conflict between Belle and her father which goes nowhere adds nothing and actively halts the plot they are telling. Similarly, the Beast's father being abusive and the cast enabling him is similarly offensive. Just... WHY?!?! Additionally, I despise that it actively tries to explain that this is a fantasy film seemingly only so that clickbait bad-faith film criticism cannot take cheap shots at it (i.e. "I am talking to a candle?" Candelabra, please." And, "Hello. What is your name?" *facepalm* "That is a hairbrush." And many more). Furthermore, the Beast is supremely unlikable, and, due to the fact they added more stakes, actively condemns his entire staff to death through curse-induced actual furniture. Also, one of the things that bothers me is that, in the original, the Beast is just a spoiled brat who doesn't help a beggar woman and leaves her in the cold... you know? What most rich people do and what this child has likely been taught to do as he is *checks watch* 21 and was 11 at the time of his cursing (if my math is correct). While that is screwed up, that is what all fae creature did in the fairy tales which these films are adapting. The problem with aging up the Beast and halting time is that the Beast was a bratty child in the original but in the remake is a grown adult who spends 10 years pouting, knowingly, bringing about rosemagedon. In the original he feels very little need to change because (with the facts as they were) he and his castle will be the same as they have been in the last 10 years. The remake, however, has greater stakes and, therefore, the active participants should feel that gravity. I could go on about this film including talking about how the villagers are terrible, Gaston is a PTSD victim but gets aroused at the thought of violence, the stupid time-space book which is used once for something ultimately inconsequential but not when it should have been (during the actual plot), or even that Disney marketed the shit out of it containing gay representation but refused to include anything substantial enough to warrant such a marketing decision, but I digress. To me, this remake is actively "really bad" and no number of good performances could make up for it. My only other disagreements with this list are Dumbo which I found terrible and uninteresting and Aladdin which was trying to be a Bollywood movie but failed hard, as well as adding in girl-boss Jasmine who is actively silenced after singing a power-ballad about how she "won't be silent" or speechless.
The Beauty and the Beast over Cinderella?! 💔
Cinderella was so beautiful to me and my favorite live action remake and the only one I'll watch over and over
I honestly cannot get enough of Cruella!! I watch it at least twice a month if not more. 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who actually likes the live action BATB. The costumes were beautiful, if a little inconsistent, and it was entertaining. Definitely not as good as the original, but still a nice watch.
I feel Ike I’ll be crucified for this, but I actually really love the Beauty and The Beast remake. I can’t really explain it, but it felt really sweet and heartfelt, at least to me. I just thought it was nice.
The lion king 1994 has always been my favorite movie of all times so when I saw it was gonna be a live action one I was so excited the trailers looked good I was super excited I even named my son León meaning lion in Spanish anyways when I went with my girl and son to watch it I came out mad and sad and almost crying not cuz of mufasas death but because of how bad it was till this day I still know know wat Disney is doing with the classics it breaks my heart the original lion king would always be my number one
10:21 They should have cast more French actors. Nearly the whole cast was British and American.
It's an American production in the English language so that's par for the course. Foreign actors bring an inferior command of English and unwanted accents. Ideally everyone has the same accents or else it's a distraction. You won't find many Cockney, Australian or American Southern accents in films either for the same reason. Upper class British and American Western accents are what you're mostly going to hear unless the film is trying to draw attention to a character being foreign.
Hey, I just found your channel and I love your fun, honest review.
I would love to hear what you think of the 1994 live-action Jungle Book. It's admittedly not great but it was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
There are 3 categories of remakes:
1. Almost identical (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pinocchio)
2. Same story but enough differences (Cinderella, Mulan, The Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians)
3. Completely different (Maleficent, Cruella, Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland)
Also I love how you interact with people in the comments, I love it when UA-camrs respond to comments! It feels so personal and nice to be acknowledged for our role in their success ❤
I would put Beauty and the Beast down to okay partly for the same issue Lion King had is Beast wasn't able to really emote well due to the cgi. Also he was a worse jerk in this and never really gave her a reason to love him as a person.
To be fair what I dislike the most is the bland colour palettein the movies lately, it's supposed to be Disney.. :,)
I agree with you a lot. I loved Cruella (Emma Stone was so good) and Aladdin and found Cristopher Robin very charming.
Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, & Cruella being ranked above some of these other movies (especially Cinderella) is a crime...
Veronica Marie - 1995
Aurora Jane - 1998
Iridressa Christine - 2006
In my opinion, Live Action King felt like a slap in the face for what an utter waste of time it was… like it was the same exact movie copied and pasted without any of the charm of the original. Just go watch the first one and save yourself an hour and a half.
Reading back over this I realize it basically applies to all of the remakes, unfortunately.
Nobody EVER mentions that Mulan was filmed in front of a concentration camp!! Thank you for bringing that up!
and why is that important ? i kinda dont care where it was filmed, the movie sucked
I love how chill your channel feels with the music and your voice
I don't care. Cinderella 2015 is the only good remake. It doesn't rely on nostalgia, it's a great retelling of the story and doesn't just copy and paste from the original. They add extra scenes that aren't forced and allow Ella to express her kindness and femininity instead of aggressive and "girlboss"ish like the oth3r movies do. It's a classic and it really speaks MAGIC to me.
Honestly I think I love it more than the original. Hands down the best remake they ever did.
Thank you, finally someone says it. 2015 Cinderella slays.
I agree with you 100%.
If i made the list, i would put Beauty and the Beast in the '' Meh. '' category. The village is pretty and the songs are ok BUT the rest was awful!
- The magic teleporting book made no sense. Why would the Beast be sad if he can go ANYWHERE in the world? Also, he only uses it one time to talk about Belle's mother then never again. This item was useless 😠
- The enchantress was a villain in the movie. She didn't helped Maurice when he talked to Gaston and let him be beated by the villagers; that's really cruel, the poor man didn't deserved that. She erased the people's memories, separated families even if they never met her, she turned the prince into a Beast after entering in his castle without his permission. This lady did something impolite and was shocked that he chased her? His reaction was normal! The magician punished him for no good reason and same for his servants.
- Lumiere and the others looked scary! Ms pots is the worst, her face is huge. They are supposed to be cute and charming, not scary 😕
Cinderella 2015 will always be a comfort movie movie for me cause it's a simple remake with beautiful design. It's not ground breaking but that's why it's comforting. Also Whitney's Cinderella will always be the best.
Cinderella is by far the best Disney remake thus far, it gives little nods to its source material but it is a genuinely beautiful movie. I saw it in theaters with my mom along with so many others, many left the theater teary eyed because it had all the elements of a classic but the music, emotion, sentiment of the original was there. It still brought a renewed energy to the table. Very refreshing experience
All of them should be in the bottom 💀
True
I’m weak! The accuracy!
What about the Cinderella one?
Other than Christopher robin. I love that film ❤.
Not true
It feels like some parts of this got cut out (there was one more tier). Did something happen to the footage?
I would put 101 and 102 dalmatiens at the top personally, probably 102 in a tier on its own. I believe that’s the best version of cruella and we get to see a side of her we haven’t before plus it feels more true to the animated movie despite going in its own direction. For the face that cruella cannot live up to those standards I would put her 2 tiers below 102 dalmatiens. Live action is when you use actual animals in the movie not just CGI them in. It just makes the movie more believable and the whole point is to make the movies feel like you could have been the passer by outside, a lot more closer to our world rather than the fantasy settings of animation.
I absolutely love the Aladdin remake. It obviously doesn’t compare to the original, but I thought they did a great job with it. I honestly like a lot of the remakes and don’t really get the hate for them (for the most part)
Cruella is THE Only Live action Movie that I actually Purchased. I’m so grateful to know that you Loved it too 😍😄
It's so good!
@@Brittney_Reacts_ please please watch Cinderella again with open eyes. It's such a sweet and cute movie. Love it!
Cinderella is the only good one because it's the only one that justifies it's own existence. It feels like a new version of Cindy without crapping on or misunderstanding the story. You could watch this one or the original animated movie and get a good experience from either one. They both have strengths and flaws distinct from each other. I feel like if you took the first movie's Cindy, Stepmom and sisters, general style and music and combined it with the remake's prince, king, mice and pacing and put them together, we'd have an ideal Cinderella film.
Also, I kinda like Tim's Alice. It's nowhere near the quality and fun of the og animated movie, but it is kinda fun.
yeahh.. i love cruella the plot twist, the emotional.. the acting is great..
Cinderella is my number one remake! Incredible!
OMG i loved cinderlla movie i watched with my grandma
I haven't seen all of the remakes or even all of the originals and this made me want to watch them so I came up with a plan im in school rn but once I'm on Summer break I'm gonna work through watching them all since I have Disney+
Completely agree, however for Beauty and the Beast Emma's wardrobe and design was lacking. She refused to wear a corset and her dress was forgettable and plain
Fun fact: Stella Maghie pitched a live-action remake for The Princess and the Frog to Jennifer Lee. Jennifer was so impressed she asked Stella to head Tiana's tv show instead.
Agree that Christopher Robbin was a good movie. I cried when I first watched it. Yes I did love the Beauty and beast!
You didn't end up ranking all the movies on screen. What did you think about the original 101 Dalmatians live action remakes. I don't remember much from it other than the actress playing Cruella Divill absolutely killing it. I personally would rank them "good" just for that. Imo, Disney USED to be able to make pretty good live action remakes, but sadly it seems to be a lost art in recent years.
She didnt rate the rest because she hasnt watch them. I saw her words in comments.
Cinderella is the only one that matters. Thank you 😌
I think the live action beauty and the beast was worth it just for the song evermore. You can through the rest of the movie away, but that song 🥰.
My list:
Awful: Maleficent 2, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio
Bad: Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland 2, The Lion King, Mulan
Meh: Cindirella, Dumbo, Maleficent
Okay: Pete's Dragon, The Jungle book, Aladdin
Good: Cruella, 101 Dalmatians, Christopher Robin
Haven't watched the rest :)
What's the third movie listed in the 'Good' category
..I can't see it properly???.
thank god, i was just about to get a trifold poster display and make a ranked list. you really come in clutch brit
ps didnt know half of these existed before watching; i liked life more then lmao
Yes, I actually liked and recommended Cruella a lot!! I watched it in the theater, and it was amazing! 😄
It's so good!
@@Brittney_Reacts_ why didn’t you put Lady and the tramp on there?
I wholeheartedly agree with Cruella, but I think Cinderella should be up there next to it
I think alot of people don’t talk about how I’m beauty and the beast the two main characters were British (can’t remember beasts voice honestly) but Emma Watson clearly has no French accent so they didn’t even start with a good base and it’s my favorite Disney princess 😭
Lion king was literally carried by Beyoncé my friend is the biggest Beyoncé fan and she said that she went to go see it because of her she said the song hit but her acting was questionable
In all imagine if every remake was villain sided pov like maleficent and try to paint them in different ways like maleficent is arguably one of the most evil villains besides cruella, and she seems to be nice just misunderstood, now imagine we explore evil step mothers past having a abusive mother ofc making it pg13 by making her mom an evil step mother so that the story can show like trauma repeating or abuse but have it subtle especially since imo these remakes are for the adults so they can hit a little harder
My favorite is one that wasn't even graded on this list, but the Glen Close 101 Dalmatians holds a special place in my heart
I still believe that all of the Live-Action Disney Remakes are equally bad because NONE OF THEM DESERVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I really love the Aladdin Remake and I still love the Original. The songs from the Aladdin Remake including Jasmine’s new song “Speechless” was really nice and fleshed out and it felt really nostalgic and I even loved the actors who played Aladdin, Genie, and Jasmine. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out and I hope we get updates on the Aladdin Remake soon. I am also excited for The Little Mermaid Remake and I don’t even care about the casting for Little Mermaid because Halle Bailey is killing it based on the trailers.
Thanks, I was dreading having to rank them all on my own.
I remember watching Alice through the looking glass when it came out when I was six with my cousins, aunt and uncle, it was actually my first movie theater experience and getting scared of going into the auditorium. And then the second time watching it when it aired on tv one time I didn't remember a slight bit about the beginning of the movie. That's why I have a soft spot for Alice through the looking glass. Time flies doesn't it. I also remember my aunt and uncle telling us if we wanted to watch Pete's dragon but I didn't want to because I thought it was gonna be scary
Part of me knows it's only a matter of time before they announce a remake of the Great Mouse Detective. If they mess that up, so help me...
In Mulan 2020 , I find it pretty weird for peasant that still dresses in colourful fabric
Because colourful and fancy fabric mostly reserved for Emperor’s family and aristocracy
Cruella is one of my favourite Disney films. Probrably because I haven't watched alot of the classics, I didn't watch the lion King until I was like 13. But it's a film that it fun, has a compelling and original story, a decent soundtrack, creative fashion designs throughout, not awful cgi but not amazing either tbh. I could go on but I think it's because they made an original story that shines light on a classic villain without completely changing it
I would also like to hear what you thought about Lady and the tramp live-action remake. It is never talked about but I have seen it is on Disney+
To this day I actually kind of hate the Maleficent movie. Don't get me wrong, the christening scene is fantastic....but that's it. Because that's the only time we get the actual Maleficent. She's one of my favorite Disney villains because of how so joyfully evil she is. Of all characters to turn into an antihero, the one that cursed a baby with death because she wasn't invited to a party shouldn't have been at the top of the list.
Cinderella I found kind of unbearable but it pretty much stayed in line with the tone of the original story, so I can forgive it. But lemme tell you, Cate Blanchet as Lady Tremaine was the biggest letdown. I was so excited for her casting and couldn't wait to see her take on the character, but everything that made Lady Tremaine intimidating in the original movie was just gone. Nothing about the live action version felt right to me. She was almost too playful and unserious.
I haven’t seen Cruella yet but I really wanna see it. It looks good and I love Emma Stone. She’s an amazing beautiful actress. Also I respect your opinion that you didn’t like the lion king remake. I really enjoyed it even though it still can’t compare to the original
Its so good ! Especially the outfits!!!
Great list and reasoning here!
I agree that the concept of Cruella was refreshingly original, which would justify putting it near the top of my list as well.
I think the Jungle Book is still my number one because it didn't solely rely on the photorealism (which looked amazing), but it drew upon elements from Kipling's original book
At the bottom of my list- Lady and the Tramp, because literally no one needed it, and Alice through the Looking Glass, for the reasons you gave and more...
I completely agree with Aladdin I don’t know what the haters are smoking. Also it’s a great 3D movie well worth a 3D Blu Ray purchase if you have a way to watch those and enjoy 3D. That community knows what’s up with Aladdin’s quality.
