In the 2010s, CEO Bob Iger has started green-lighting Live Action Remakes for Walt Disney Animation Studio's 2D animated movies, due to their unprofitability, poor marketing and possible negative response regarding their live action adaptations of their original franchises.

Movies that got a live action remake

 * Aladdin
 * The Lion King
 * Beauty and the beast
 * Mulan
 * Dumbo
 * The Jungle Book (Twice, one in 1994, another in [[mh:greatestmovies:The Jungle Book (2016)|2016}})

Why they Suck

 * 1) They only serve as an example of Hollywood's "everything old is new again" ideology, and also to show that history repeats itself
 * 2) In many remakes starting from 2017's Beauty and the Beast, their plot points end up as being exactly copied from the original to the point where such movies end up as copycats more than rehashes.
 * 3) Overuse of CGI, with the designs for the anthropomorphic characters looking uncanny.
 * 4) Inferior acting, with the main roles having wooden performances.
 * 5) Our characters rarely have any emotion while speaking, with a few exceptions.
 * 6) Poor editing in the Disney Renaissance remakes, as they put in pointless changes, with some scenes being cut for no reason.
 * 7) They serve as pointless nostalgia pandering, ending up as more of a trademark renewal than an actual movie. For example, Mufasa is voiced by James Earl Jones for the sake of it.
 * 8) The remakes also lack the charm, depth and emotion that made the originals memorable and iconic.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They all used to be good before 2017. For example, Cinderella (2015) and The Jungle Book (2016).
 * 2) Like most remakes, they serve to introduce the Walt Disney Animation Studios movies to a newer generation.
 * 3) The live action remakes have caused the start of Disney's domination over the film industry.
