Talk:List of Disney live-action adaptations and remakes of Disney animated films

Suggestion

I suggest we re-title the article to accommodate for Disney live-action remakes of Disney live-action films such as Pete's Dragon.

• Support: I agree because there are some remakes of films that aren't animated on development, while The Lion King was made almost completly with computer animation.

Some more to add?

Here are some more we may want to add?

• Rose Red: [1]
• Prince Charming: [2]
• Genies: [3]
• Night On Bald Mountain: [4]

Kidburla (talk) 19:53, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Rose Red has been added but Bald Mountain and Charming don't have a status yet. Genies has definitely heen cancelled. - HenryBarnill (talk) 10:00, 28 February 2018 (PTC)

Inclusion criteria

Why would Alice in Wonderland be excluded but Maleficent and Christopher Robin included, what standards are applying here?★Trekker (talk) 05:36, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Lion king problem

We should rename the article to List of Disney live-action and photorealistic reimaginings of animated films. Smeagol 17 (talk) 08:30, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Do Jungle Book '94 and the Nutcracker Count?

Do we have a source that 1994 Jungle book is adapted from the 1967 film? Or that The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is inspired by Fantasia 2000? (also is there any way the article could be renamed as to include Pete's Dragon?) --Elzbenz (talk) 11:07, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned references in List of Disney live-action reimaginings of animated films

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of Disney live-action reimaginings of animated films's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

This article is inappropriately titled

Request to correct the title of this article to "List of Disney live-action remakes of animated films".

The word "reimaginings" amounts to marketing copy in this context. The hyperlink over the word in the article points to a no longer present block on the page on remakes. The content on that page involving "reimaginings" has also since been revised, and almost all references to the word have been removed in favor of describing remakes as remakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:401:502:833B:BD2F:9BDD:CE0B:8386 (talk) 04:17, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

List of Disney live-action reimaginings of animated films → List of Disney live-action remakes of animated films – "Reimaginings" is marketing fluff; "remakes" is neutral and a sufficient description. Trivialist (talk) 10:59, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose and move to List of Disney remakes - The current scope of this list is unclear and of questionable merit, bordering on WP:OR. There are so many "gotchas" in the current and proposed titles that we are left with something which is both limited and ill-defined. Certainly "live-action" is inaccurate when discussing full-CGI films like the upcoming The Lion King and only questionably accurate when the primary characters are CGI. Clearly, "remakes" is far more concise and and used than "reimaginings". And that the original film must be animated is an arbitrary limitation. -- Netoholic @ 14:39, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
• Support - "remake" is more common and understood. Keep the general scope: Live-action remakes of animated films. This is getting a lot of attention for Disney films, e.g. at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=disneyliveaction.htm, although the exact inclusion criteria varies. Maybe we should include all films which are sometimes included by sources and not make our own selection. But all remakes by a studio is not treated as a topic by sources and we don't list it for other studios. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:40, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
• Support per nom - "live-action remakes of animated films" is much more clear. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:13, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
• Support per nom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.71.249.229 (talk) 18:41, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
• Support. Yes, reimagining is marketing fluff in this case at least, I notice it's currently a redirect to remake, and better and easily avoided. The scope of the list is a separate issue (and I doubt that anyone would have noticed it apart from this RM, and/or will care enough to pursue it... but either way let us move on).

Alice′s films

Similar to a section above about 1994's The Jungle Book, should these films be on the list? Unlike the others on the list, which are based on the stories and characters of the animated films, these are based on Lewis Carroll's novels, not on the 1951 film. --BrookTheHumming (talk) 15:09, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

List of Disney live-action remakes of animated films → List of live-action remakes of Disney animated films – To specify that they were Disney films to begin with, as opposed to Disney merely remaking someone else's animated films. Unreal7 (talk) 22:03, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

• Of course, there's the question of whether or not a film such as The Lion King (2019 film) can in fact be regarded as "live-action" given that it is almost entirely computer-animated, but perhaps I digress. PC78 (talk) 23:24, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. Disney hasn't made remakes of films from other studios but if they do later then I think it should be included here. Studios usually only remake their own films due to rights but Disney has bought several studios including Pixar and Fox. Also, the suggested title sounds like it could include other studios making remakes of Disney films. I don't think that should be included if it happens (Disney will probably try to prevent it from happening). PrimeHunter (talk) 01:44, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Doesn't that sound crystal ball-ish? Unreal7 (talk) 09:17, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

The title itself is not crystal-ballish. We are allowed to consider the future when we select titles. I think the scope of the list should be remakes made by Disney and not remakes of films made by Disney. Those sets may diverge at some point. Even if they don't, readers may not now that and wonder whether the list is omitting Disney remakes of films not originally by Disney. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:36, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

The Jungle Book (1994) and upcoming releases

Aside from agreeing with Kasper2006 on the title change for the sake of adding Pete's Dragon (2016) on here, The Jungle Book (1994) should stop being removed from the list for some strange reason and why aren't announced adaptations of Hercules, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and Treasure Planet mentioned? Plus, don't forget a sequel to Aladdin (2019) was recently discussed. --Cineplex (talk) 09:44PM, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

This film is the odd man out here as it doesn't have Disney Copyright Notice.DoctorHver (talk) 23:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) should be included since it is a remake of a segment from Fantasia (1940) and as such satisfies the "requirements" given by the title of the webpage. (in my opinion, it is even less questionable than sequels such as 102 Dalmatians). Ioiops (talk) 11:34, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

These Are Not Remakes

A remake is taking the story from the previous film... and remaking it. Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, and the Lion King are all great examples of this. Maleficent isn't a remake of Snow White, it's a movie based on the story. Aladdin II isn't a remake of Aladdin (though the current live action version is) it's a sequel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teamcoltra (talk • contribs) 06:29, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

I agree. The article really needs a different title to be more accurate, but I can't really think of anything that would be accurate while covering everything. "Reimaginings" in place of "remakes" would be somewhat more accurate but still kind of misleading. Alphius (talk) 23:58, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Pete's Dragon (2016)

To Ohnoitsjamie (talk), the remake of Pete's Dragon (2016) needs to be on here because it is considered a "live-action Disney remake" among the other films in this article as pointed out by Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, and film critics. -- Cody Fearless-Lee (talk) 8:30PM - August 30, 2020 —Preceding undated comment added 00:30, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

That contradicts the title of the article as well as the lede: This list does not include remakes of live-action/animation hybrid films. I'd suggest making a proposal to move the title (and thus changing the definition of the list), and see if you can get sufficient consensus for that proposal. See Wikipedia:Requested moves. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:51, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

I mean, the criteria described in the intro section are completely arbitrary to begin with. Not to mention the facts that a bunch of the movies aren't even remakes and The Lion King isn't even live-action; the article really needs a better title. Alphius (talk) 00:00, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Awful colors

The colors that User Maxmbogs recently added to the Reception table are completely unnecessary[5] No good reason was given for adding these colors, and no good reason was given for adding them back after I removed them. Please show some WP:GOODFAITH and follow the WP:SIMPLE rules by explaining your changes with an edit summary.

Please see MOS:COLOR and {{Overcolored}}. The color is a distraction not an enhancement, it makes things worse for readers not better. (I have discussed this before, at length, but I simply suggest you look at it the awful colors and read MOS:COLOR again.) If the colors were actually saying anything significant it should also be said as WP:PROSE but the colors do add not add anything useful at all.

Just because you can does not mean you should. This kind of unhelpful over decoration is a thing of the past that I had hoped Wikipedia had grown out of, this is supposed to be an encyclopedia. I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and a few articles still seem to think this is a good idea (or simply no one bothered to remove it yet) but was a bad idea to begin with and should not have been copied. -- 109.79.72.233 (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Honestly, there's was a changed of rank for List of highest-grossing animated films, with 2019 version of The Lion King was overtaken by Inside Out 2. Could someone please change the sentence in order to reflect the current box office revenues, from:

Many Disney remakes rank along the highest grossing films upon their release; currently, The Lion King (9th), Beauty and the Beast (21st), Aladdin (41st), and Alice in Wonderland (47th) are on the list. The Lion King is also the highest grossing animated feature film of all time.
