Is there anyone here besides me that doesn't outright hate the Disney Live Action remakes? None of them are as good as the original but there's still some things about them that can bring A New perspective and a thing and can be enjoyable.
Examples:
Cinderella: the prince is actually given more screen time and a chance to actually get some chemistry between him and Cinderella
Beauty and the Beast: LeFou wises up to what a jerk Gaston really is. He even sings during the Mob song: "there's a beast running wild there's no question/ but I fear the wrong monster's released" questioning his loyalty to Gaston
Aladdin: Knowing no one can imitate Robin Williams' Genie, Will Smith simply did his version his way.
Lady and the Tramp: the cats are giving a jazzy song that still remains true to the spirit of trouble-making cats without racist subtext
And 101 Dalmatians (an early Live Action remake 18 years before this was a thing): Glen Close plays an over the top Cruella who proves Slapstick Knows No Gender
I'm always on the lookout for people who can share what they actually enjoy about the films, for better or worse

No offense to anypony out there who loves them but for me, they're just plain soulless. I know that's something of a controversial label, some people don't find them soulless at all but I genuinely don't see what people like about them.
How can they get away with autotuning the majority of the cast in Beauty and the Beast? How can they ruin Mufasa's death scene by giving Simba the same blank face he's had for the entire movie? That stampede doesn't look in any way dangerous at all. In the original, the music was pounding, it really looked like it can kill you. In the remake, it looked like you can just wait at the side for them to move.
Again, no offense to the people who like them but I just can't understand why they end up being so popular.

I think Disney is better off trying to remake the movies that didn't so well like Atlantis, The Sword in the Stone, and The Black Cauldron as those movies are in more need of some kind of fix. Then again, while I didn't care for those movies, someone who likes/loves them will probably cry foul if any of those were announced for a remake.
