The main issue (or benefit) that affects Disney’s live-action adaptations is accuracy versus freshness.
Ultimately, this is what affectsDisney’s live-action princessesthe most.
Mulan herself may be one of the most disappointing parts of the live-action movie.
Worse, it went back onMulan’soriginal themes, i.e.
soldiers must be vulnerable and true to themselves as well as good fighters.
Later, however,Maleficent and Briar Rose form a sweet and loving bond.
Perhaps if Disney were to make a live-actionSleeping Beauty,the character would be more effective.
By no means isElle Fanning’s portrayal of Briar Rosebad.
In fact, she breathes life into the animated character, fully embodying her curiosity and kindness.
In the shadow of Maleficent,Briar Rose comes across as rather dull and unexciting.
Perhaps if Disney were to make a live-actionSleeping Beauty,the character would be more effective.
The movie received mixed reviews from critics but was well-loved by audiences.

A definite highlight of 2019’sAladdinwas Jasmine.
Plus,Jasmine gets a new song in the remake which Scott nails.
All in all,Aladdinoffers up a solid live-action rendering of this Disney princess.
Emma Watson offers a gorgeous rendition of Belle.
She aces Belle’s sass and intelligence, and lives up to the princess’s overwhelming kindness.
Joined by other talented actors, 2017’s live-actionBelle is a great example of a well-done Disney princess.
Yet, Ariel’s hopes come into danger when Ursula sabotages her so you can keep her voice forever.
Lily James was the ideal choice to play Cinderella, and the movie proves it.
She is graceful, kind, and as whimsical as a Disney character should be.
Hopefully,Disneycan take some cues from this decade-old movie as it continues on its live-action journey.
