Disney did not describe it as live-action, only stating it would follow the "technologically groundbreaking" approach of The Jungle Book. A different categorization may be required for that film.

''Maleficent'' [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness aside]], these films are SelfAdaptation reimaginings of the Disney originals. They might take inspiration from other adaptations, the original source, or even fan-ideas (for example, "Adam"[[note]]This comes from the 1998 video game called ''The D Show''.[[/note]] as the Beast's name was rarely officially used until the remake of ''Beauty and the Beast''), however they overall take note from the original Disney animated films. Some [[DevelopmentGag elements that were]] [[WhatCouldHaveBeen scrapped in the original films development]] are known to be in the remakes. The remakes are not, however, shot-for-shot remakes of the original films. They are more historically accurate than the originals, which means slight differences in designs and other elements, and feature [[AdaptationalPersonalityChange personality changes]], [[AdaptationNameChange name changes]], AdaptationExpansion, and even [[CanonForeigner completely new characters]].

Note the existence of several earlier films that helped kickstart the trend, starting with the 1996's [[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians remake]] of ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', but aren't considered part of the franchise proper. ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'' is also, per WordOfGod, completely unrelated to the [[Disney/AliceInWonderland Disney classic]] despite being a live-action adaptation done by Disney[[note]]

With that success, it was unsurprising that Disney tried doing a LiveActionAdaptation again. ''Film/{{Cinderella 2015}}'' is a remake of ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}''.

With that success, it was unsurprising that Disney tried doing a LiveActionAdaptation again. ''Film/{{Cinderella 2015}}'' is a remake of ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}''. Unlike ''Maleficent'', it stays true-to-the-text for the most part and is still from the POV of Cinderella. However, the ''Cinderella'' remake adds new details and character elements to the story. It also [[AscendedFanon used a few long-held fan ideas]], such as how "Cinderella" is a nickname for "Ella" (or "Elizabeth"/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Elisabeth/etc]]). The remake ended up selling well, and as a result Disney decided to create ''more'' remakes of various Disney films.

In 2014, Creator/{{Disney}} released their reimagining of their classic ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' film. ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' was a PerspectiveFlip AlternateUniverse take on the story. Maleficent isn't the evil fairy witch she is in the original, instead she is a troubled, introverted fairy who was was spurned into hating humans by a bad experience one year ago. Aurora, whose rather FlatCharacter was replaced with something more in-depth, grew up believing Maleficent was her FairyGodmother, as much as Maleficent tried to become her enemy. The film's interesting new take on ''Sleeping Beauty'''s characters ended in it becoming one of the biggest hits of the year.
