The animations of Disney princesses are very successful among fans of the studio, and for this reason, the house of Mickey Mouse invested in the live-actions of these characters. Although not all of them have won their versions with real actors, RECREIO made a ranking of the best live-actions of Disney princesses that have ever been released. Check the list below!
5. Maleficent
Despite not being the highlight of the film, in “Maleficent”, we meet a princess Aurora different from the animation. The feature that tells the version of the story from the point of view of the villain of “The Sleeping Beauty”, reveals what the true relationship between the princess and the bad fairy is like, in addition to showing a more self-possessed Aurora, with her own opinions. The character was played by actress Elle Fannig.
4. Cinderella
The actress Lily James gave life to Cinderella in the live-action princess. The 2015 production is very faithful to the 1950 animation, but shows a more empowered protagonist and a more human side in both Cinderella’s stepmother and Prince Charming.
3. Beauty and the Beast
starring Emma Watsonthe live-action of “Beauty and the Beast” is another faithful retelling of the original animation, released in 1991. Among the small changes between versions, the Beast got its own music and the character Lefou gained more prominence.
2. The Little Mermaid
Released this year, the live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” starred the actress and singer Halle Bailey. The remake shows a more empowered Ariel, but without losing her sweet ways. The production reveals details that the 1989 animation never showed, such as Prince Eric’s family and the relationship between King Triton and Ursula, the villain of the story.
1. Aladdin
In the live-action version of “Aladdin”, Princess Jasmine is much more prominent than in the animation. The character played by the actress Naomi Scotthas her own musical solo, where she sings about her fears and at the end of the story, she is the one who takes over her father’s throne, which makes much more sense than Aladdin taking over, which is what happens in the animation.
