I think there are some perfectly decent ones. I thought that the Sonic Movie, especially Sonic 3, was actually pretty enjoyable. And I had a great time with the One Piece live action, it wasn’t amazing or anything, but still pretty solid imo, like a 8/10. Answer from Gokuto7 on reddit.com

October 15, 2025How did Disney manage to fail almost every single live action remake?
One of the biggest issues with the remakes were that the originals all generally had really tight and efficient scripts. The remakes all had to justify their existence, and therefore added unnecessary elements to pad it out. More on reddit.com

October 15, 2025 -
I admit I have a pretty cynical view of live action remakes of animated films. My gut always says "creatively bankrupt cash-grab" and broadly I feel that instinct has been proven right more often than not.
I'm cynical about remakes in general too, but I don't think they always have to be cynical cash grabs. Both versions of The Fly are great, and they're a fun double feature because they're quite different from each other.
The choice to be animated is a creative decision on a pretty structural level of what a film is, it's the aesthetic course everything will flow down, and those aesthetics mean something. I feel like it could be possible to do a live action remake of an animated film that really highlights the meaning of that creative choice, but I haven't actually seen that yet.
Hence this thread, have you ever seen an live action remake of an animated film that really made you feel like you'd seen a fresh angle on an idea, rather than seen an old idea with new clothes? A movie that feels like a separate, yet equally worthy product, from its original?
