Get an overview of all live-action remakes of Disney’s animated classics – from The Lion King to Ariel to Vaiana – in our constantly updated list. We show you what is currently being filmed, what is still to come and what has already been filmed.
Disney has discovered a goldmine for itself in the last few years, namely to remake its popular animated films for the cinema – as remakes in the guise of live-action adaptations.
These so-called live action adaptations are more or less faithful to the original. To help you keep track, we have listed here which Disney live action remakes have already been filmed and which are still to come.
These are films for which a Disney animated film exists as a template (there are 46 Disney animated films in total) and which Disney, as the studio itself, is remaking, this time as a live action variant or photorealistic animated film. We update our overview here regularly.
For our list of all Disney live-action remakes, however, we define the term “remake” a little more broadly than usual in order to also cover films that “only” inspired the real remakes as animated films.
Past live-action films based on Disney’s animated classics
Disney can already look back on a handsome number of live-action film adaptations already delivered. This already started in the 1990s and 2000s. However, the live action renaissance was only introduced as a noticeable strategy in the 2010s.
