History YMMV / DisneyLiveActionRemakes

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The remakes are often a pretext to "fix" plot lines or characters 's behavior that became contentious as time went by. For instance in ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017'', nobody seems to remember there was a prince (The Beast) that lives nearby, because the Enchantress 's curse, this time, include rendering the townspeople amnesiac about this detail. The fairy Godmother in ''Film/Cinderella2015'' and the genie ''Film/{{Aladdin|2019}}'' uses spells that prevent to recognize Cinderella at the ball, or Aladdin as the prince Ali. In ''Film/{{Aladdin|2019}}'', [[spoiler: a very different climax prevent Jasmine to have to go through GoGoEnslavement and ShowSomeLeg, instead, she actively take part in action in a pursuit to take the lamp back.]] In ''Film/{{Dumbo|2019}}'', [[spoiler: a different ending sees Dumbo and his mother return to wilderness, due to today controversies about animals in circus.]]

* SoOkayItsAverage: Popular consensus is that Disney has yet to release a remake that is both a good movie on it's own ''and'' absolutely necessary. The closest movie to achieve this so far is ''Film/{{The Jungle Book|2016}}''.

* BrokenBase: A very big one concerning these movies. You'll have people who love them for the depth they consider they bring to the old Disney films (and oftentimes, they hate the old movies for being corny, outdated and having sexist/racist elements), while classic Disney fans dislike them for considering them soulless imitations of the movies they loved for years, and are feeling Disney is really running out of ideas. Some also feel it's another attempt to minimize 2D's influence in current Disney, considering how as of yet there's no word of live action remakes of the Pixar or current CGI Disney movies.

* FranchiseOriginalSin:
** ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017'' got a lot of criticism for its changes, which many viewers saw as gratuitous [[PanderingToTheBase pandering]] to adult fans who had trivial complaints about [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast the original]]. [[note]] Just to name a few: the movie goes out of its way to justify the Beast's servants being transfigured alongside him, it explains why the local villagers don't remember who the Prince is, it gives Gaston and the Beast {{Freudian Excuse}}s to "explain" their personalities, and it plays up the feminist themes to a degree that many people saw as forced and {{anvilicious}}.[[/note]] To a degree, this was also true of ''Film/Cinderella2015'' and ''Film/TheJungleBook2016'', which were much less divisive. Among other things, ''Cinderella'' gave Lady Tremaine additional backstory to explain her hatred of Ella, and ''The Jungle Book'' changed King Louie into a ''Gigantopithecus'' to placate people who complained about [[MisplacedWildlife an orangutan being in India]]. But those small changes were mostly overshadowed by larger changes that actually made for stronger stories; ''Cinderella'' gave the FlatCharacter the Prince considerable CharacterDevelopment to make his relationship with Ella feel like an actual relationship, and ''The Jungle Book'' greatly streamlined the original's meandering narrative while giving Shere Khan a far more prominent role as antagonist.
** ''Film/Cinderella2015'' received some complaints for being a retread of the original instead of a PerspectiveFlip or clear AlternateContinuity like ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', however this was overshadowed by praise for seeing the classic Disney film in live action. Since then, however, a common complaint of the remakes is that they're just that: remakes. They've received complaints by many Disney purists that Disney just wants to overshadow their animation with live-action, while many more accepting viewers still see them as redundant.

* HilariousInHindsight: Beast from ''Beauty and the Beast'' and Genie from ''Film/Aladdin2019'' have similar designs to Stranger and Abe from ''VideoGame/Oddworld''.

Some also feel it's another attempt to minimize 2D's influence in current Disney, considering how as of yet there's no word of live action remakes of the Pixar or current CGI Disney movies.

''Beauty and the Beast'''s changes, on the other hand, mostly just weighed the movie down--while doing little to actually ''improve'' it.

* EpilepticTrees: A lot of theories about the "Disney Universe" come to fruition with these remakes, considering even though most of the time periods don't match, the movies still can be considered to all exist in the same universe due to similar aesthetics, writing, etc etc.

* HypeBacklash: Nearly every adaptation gets a lot of flak when they're finally released for multiple reasons. The most common complaints are for the movies being [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks far too different than the original animated adaptation they're based on and/or the original source material]] (which even the animated films are sometimes guilty of when it comes to their own source material), [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks being too similar thus making fans wonder why bother remaking the film]] (especially if it's a relatively recent film), [[WTHCastingAgency bad/very questionable casting choices for roles,]] a heavy reliance on auto tune for musical numbers, with some of them feeling forced, and for [[AdaptationPersonalityChange making the characters far too different than how they originally appeared as]] (again even the animated films are sometimes guilty of this when it comes to their own source material). Many of the critics rarely consider them to be better than the original.
