History Film / DisneyLiveActionRemakes

* ''Robin Hood'' -- based on ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'' (1973); A [[LiveActionAdaptation live-action]] / [[AllCGICartoon CGI hybrid remake]]; [[Film/{{Blindspotting}} Carlos Lopez Estrada]] is set to direct, while [[Film/TronLegacy Justin]] [[Film/Dumbo2019 Springer]] and [[Film/LadyAndTheTramp Kari Granlund]] are set to produce and write, respectively

''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'' is [[ExactWords technically]] not a live-action remake due to the absence of onscreen humans like the original, but still has everything else in common with the current line, hence its inclusion in it. ''Film/ChristopherRobin'' is also technically not a remake, rather a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', but it is a live-action film with CGI based on an earlier Disney property that shares the same aesthetics as the others.

* AdaptationExpansion: The cartoons ranged from 64 to 90 minutes, so the movies add in some more material to pad the runtime to 2 hours.

-->-- '''[[Film/FreeGuy Free Guy Trailer]]'''

* CostumePorn: The live action media allow to do more sophisticated costumes (in terms of material and pattern), especially for females characters. In contrast with the two or three outfits they had in the original, most of the time, they have an UnlimitedWardrobe in the remakes. Jasmine in particular has some more splendid finery compared to her animated counterpart.

* ''Pinocchio'' (2022) [[note]]to be released on Disney+)[[/note]] -- based on ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' (1940); Creator/RobertZemeckis is set to direct, while [[Series/TheHauntingOfBlyManor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth]] was cast as the titular character, Creator/TomHanks as Geppetto, Creator/CynthiaErivo as the [[RaceLift Blue Fairy]], and Creator/JosephGordonLevitt as [[MotionCapture Jiminy Cricket]]

* ''The Aristocats'' -- based on ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats''; Will Gluck and Keith Bunin will pen the script, with Gluck producing through his "Olive Bridge Entertainment" banner.

* AdaptationNameChange: At least one character per adaptation has their name edited.

* ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' -- based on ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (1996); [[Film/TheMuppets David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman]] are set to produce alongside Creator/JoshGad.

Most of the films are SelfAdaptation reimaginings of the Disney Animated Canon 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]].

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Notably concerning the villains.
