Disney's venture into live-action remakes of its cherished animated classics began in the '90s with films like *101 Dalmatians* and *102 Dalmatians*. However, it was the success of *Cinderella* in 2015 and *The Jungle Book* in 2016 that truly set the stage for a new era. The monumental achievement of *Beauty and the Beast* in 2017, crossing the billion-dollar mark, cemented this trend as a lucrative and enduring strategy.
