The playground has already had the opportunity to watch the movie and can assure you: the ticket is worth it! Starred by Maia Kealha and Chris Sandersthe film lives up to the classic 2002 animation, and adds some details that make the plot more current and realistic, facilitating identification.

If you were already in love with the animation’s Stitch, you can prepare because the Live-action version of the alien managed to get even cutest, being the true highlight of the work alongside the Lilo lived by Maiawhich gives a charisma show on the screen.

In addition, it is important not to forget to bring a handkerchief to the movie theater, because the plot has also been able to be even more exciting by deepening more in the relationship between Nani and Lilo, and the impact that parents’ death has caused on the characters.

The film has already entered the list of favorites from Recreio’s newsroom, which also features other classic adaptations and remakes released by Disney. Check out our ranking!

5. Malévola (2014)

Adapting the tale of “Sleeping Beauty”, the live-action of “Malevola” presents a different view of the story of the villain who made a lot of people haunted in childhood for his macabre look. Now, instead of seeing his motivations just as envy for not being invited to the party of Aurora’s birth, we find that the character curses the princess for another reason: revenge for the betrayal of King Stefan, who was his first love in childhood, but he deceived it and cut it only to be able to take the throne.

Although the movie has its defects and is far from perfect, the interpretation of Angelina Jolie As the protagonist makes you involve yourself in history, and get excited about the evolution of the relationship between Malévola and Aurora (Elle Faning), which is completely different from animation.

Overall, the film managed to give more depth to the history of one of the most striking villains of animations that was initially portrayed only as petty and envious.

4. Beauty and the Beast (2017)

With a box office raised of over $ 1 billion, it is no wonder “Beauty and the Beast” is one of the biggest successes among Disney live-action. Different from “malevola”, the film that has Emma Watson Living Princess Bela is entirely true to the plot presented in the animation, with few news in the plot.

In addition to maintaining all the magic presented in the 1991 animation, the feature can also present new details in the script that gives even more depth to history, such as the explanation of Bela’s mother’s whereabouts and the origin of the beast’s narcissistic and insensitive behavior.

3. Cruella (2021)

Cruella de Vil is, of course, the most evil villain of Disney animations. Presented in “101 Dalmatians”, the character who wanted to capture Dalmatian puppies to create skin coats managed to be despised by many easily – and the 2021 remake starring by Emma Stone It arrived with the proposal to try to change this view of the public.

Like “Malévola”, “Cruella” is a rereading of classic animation, presenting the story of origin of the memorable antagonist, where he explains that, despite having a inclination for psychopathy since childhood, the character, who is named Baptism, has also always been genius and rebellious – reasons that made it a fashion icon.

Also going through traumatic moments in your life, it becomes a thief and scammer, but still keeps the dream of becoming a designer who will be remembered forever – two sides that are interpreted with genius by Stone. Moreover, as fashion is an important element in the narrative, the costumes managed to show a separate show, with impeccable looks that can convey the boldness and irreverence of Cruella.

2. The little mermaid (2023)

As soon as it was announced, many people were apprehensive about the adaptation, mainly due to the use of CGI in the scenes underwater – something that was the agenda of numerous conversations concerned between the background’s newsroom, we must admit.

With the release of the film, the concern soon disappeared, with admiration gaining place. Live-action has managed to live up to the classic 1989 animation, and still present small changes in the story that make the plot even more complete, giving more empowerment to Ariel and deepening the story of some characters-not to mention that the scenes of the songs have managed to become even more magical, especially thanks to the impeccable protagonism of Halle Bailey.

1. Aladdin (2019)

The most loved live-action for the recreation newsroom to this day is “Aladdin”, released in 2019. Although the entire team agrees that the performance of Menna Massoud As Aladdin could be a little better, the plot, look and performance of other film stars can cover this slip and make production in a magic experience.

Will Smith as a genius is completely impeccable, managing to live up to the character who was created specifically stop the genius Robin Williamswhich left us in 2014. In addition, Naomi Scott It gave an even more empowered vision to Jasmine – gaining a solo that easily enters our list of best songs in Disney movies – while Marwan Kenzari It also manages to make the villain Jafar even more hateful than in the animation.

Specifically, we need to highlight how impressive the scene of the song “Prince Ali”. In animation, the moment is already magical, with different animals, feathers, many colors and a large number of people who make up the sequence. Turning like this into live-action was a big challenge, but Disney was able to perform with mastery and grandeur. Simply impeccable.

Honorable Mention: Mogli: The Boy Wolf (2016)

“Mogli: The Wolf Boy” is also a film that has generated concern in many due to the great need to use CGI, but has managed to dribble the feeling and surprise the audience with a faithful adaptation to Disney’s Golden Age animation.
