Nope. I don't get why these were even made, aside from laziness and nostalgia bait, or why anyone would be compelled to watch them. Some stories are just better off being animated than being done in live action, and the Disney remakes are a good example of this.

A few

Jungle Book
Cinderella
Maleficent
The Lion King
Alice in Wonderland

That's it, i think. I haven't seen the latest. It used to be allright but now it seems to be worse and worse.

If you count Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland, ' which I kind of hated.

That's the only one.

The only one I liked was "Maleficent" because it told the same story from a different perspective.

I thought the first "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) was magnificent.  The live action movie was instantly forgettable.

Generally I'm not a fan of them - they make money, but they are stale, unimaginative, and too much of a remake to be interesting on its own.  If I want to watch "Aladdin", I'll watch the original with Robin Williams as the Genie.

Up to Aladdin, then I stopped.

Only The Jungle Book (a total improvement except for Kaa the Snake, you can't beat the Winnie the Pooh voice for him) and Cinderella (gave a bit more personality to everyone) really felt necessary, and no, I don't count Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, that one doesn't tell anything even close to the story to be a remake.
