• In 2010, Disney began releasing live-action remakes of some of its classic animated films in earnest.
• While most were successful at the box office, their artistic value has been questioned.

Remaking animated films or TV shows in live-action is only becoming more frequent in Hollywood — just look at shows like "Avatar: The Last Airbender," "One Piece," and "Cowboy Bebop."

But the studio that has done this most successfully — and most frequently — is Disney. There have been 17 live-action remakes or reimaginings of its classic animated films, give or take a few additional sequels.

While not all of them have been well-reviewed — and, arguably, they're mediocre at best — most of these movies made a lot of money at the box office. For example, "Beauty and the Beast," "Alice in Wonderland," "Aladdin," and "The Lion King" all crossed the $1 billion mark, according to Box Office Mojo.

We decided to rank these movies based on their quality, the changes made from source material, casting, and more.

Here are all 17 live-action remakes, ranked from worst to best — in our opinion.
