You shouldn’t, live* action re-creations are so lazy
I guiltily admit i do watch them as background noise years after they’ve been released to make sure they suck. They typically do, though I’ve heard The Jungle Book live remake wasn’t bad.
IMO The Little Mermaid live action remake was pretty good. They made the love interest make more sense, not just the guy going “pretty girl is pretty” and also I liked that

it was her who killed the sea witch at the end and not the guy.
IMO that made for a more well rounded ending.
As for the others, I’ve se Beauty and The Beast and wasn’t impressed but have watched none of the others because all of them live in an uncanny valley I don’t want to visit.
I always thought the Beauty and the Beast remake was great. Lilo and Stitch trailer looks amazing.
Believe it or not, Lady and the Tramp was a surprisingly good live-action-ish remake. Maybe my expectations were low as it wasn’t released in theaters, but I enjoyed it more than the bigger budgeted ones.
Cruella wasn’t too bad.
Agreed. Loved it so much I saw it twice.
But to be fair—it was a prequel—not a remake.
But, it was an animated recreation from an older story to start. Recreations happen all the time. Lazy? I suppose, but why would it be lazy and not the initial copy?
