Note the existence of several earlier films that helped kickstart the trend, starting with 1996's [[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996 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]] which is obviously not ''quite'' true, starting with the appearance of the Caterpillar that closely parallels the 1951 animated film.[[/note]] ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'' is also [[ExactWords technically]] not a live-action remake due to the absence of onscreen humans like the original, despite having everything else in common with the current line. ''Film/ChristopherRobin'' is also technically not a remake, rather a sequel to "Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh", but it is a live-action/CGI film based on an earlier Disney property that shares the same aesthetics as the others. The television series ''Series/OnceUponATime'' is also not a part of this franchise, even though it features various reimaginings of Disney characters in live-action form [[note]] Originally, the series simply ''took inspiration'' from Disney but the characters were not explicitly related to their Disney counterparts; eventually this was done away with and ''[=OUAT=]'' outright includes Disney original characters like Elsa or Jasmine. [[/note]] There's an upcoming comedy film called ''Prince Charming'' in production, which is about a PrinceCharmless pretending to be his brother PrinceCharming after several princesses attack Charming for two-timing them (poking fun at [[OneSteveLimit Disney having more than one "Prince Charming"]]), however it's not considered a part of the franchise either. [[note]]In addition, Disney had made a direct-to-video Live-Action Jungle Book called “The Jungle Book: Mowgli’s Story”, that fits a good number of these trappings, as well as ''Gepetto'', a MadeForTVMovie that is adapted from Disney/{{Pinocchio}}. They had also distributed live-action films based off of ''The Wind in the Willows'' (labeled “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride”) & ''[[Film/TheJungleBook The Jungle Book]]'' by other companies, that were largely unrelated to the Disney films, as well as produced a MadeForTVMovie based on the Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein version of ''Cinderella''[[/note]]

** If you consider 1996's ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' to be the unofficial start of the franchise, then it's ''very'' different from the live-action remakes that followed. In contrast to the current DarkerAndEdgier approach, it goes in the complete opposite direction and plays the story for broad slapstick. It has often been said that the live-action ''101 Dalmatians'' is, ironically, more cartoonish than the actual cartoon version, despite the fact that the dogs don't talk.

* ''Chronicles of Prydain'' (TBA) [[note]]This one will be rather a new adaptation of the books than a straight up remake of the original movie, but Disney will still consider it part of the remake line.[[/note]]

** ''Maleficent'' started the trend of live-action remakes but it's ''not'' a remake. It's a PerspectiveFlip and is loose with its canon (most noticeable in Maleficent's character change and how the ending is completely different from ''Sleeping Beauty'''s) to the point of AlternateContinuity.

* RaceLift: Plumette and Madame de Garderobe in ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017'' are played by black actresses, while town inhabitants are more ethnic diverse; like the CanonForeigner Captain in ''Film/Cinderella2015'' played by Nonso Anozie. ''Film/{{Aladdin|2019}}'', the Arab Prince Achmed became the European Prince Anders. And while the Genie appeared as white when he was masquerading as an human, he is played by Will Smith in the remake. Ariel, who looked like a European woman originally, is set to be played by an African-American actress.

In 2014, Creator/{{Disney}} released ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', a live-action reimagining of their classic animated film ''Disney/SleepingBeauty''. It was a PerspectiveFlip AlternateUniverse take on the story. Maleficent isn't the evil fairy witch she is in the original, as instead she is a troubled, introverted fairy who was spurned into hating humans by a bad experience one year before Princess Aurora is born. 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.
