How 5 Disney animated classics compare to their live-action remakes at the box office

Disney's "Aladdin" hits theaters this weekend . It's the second Disney remake of an animated classic to be released this year, following March's "Dumbo" and it won't be the last.

"The Lion King" arrives in June; a sequel to the "Sleeping Beauty" reimagining, "Maleficent," comes to theaters in October; and a live-action "Lady and the Tramp" will be included on Disney's streaming service, Disney Plus , when it launches in November.

Disney has ramped up its live-action remakes in recent years, and they've raked in tons of cash for the company at the box office. "Beauty and the Beast" grossed $1.2 billion worldwide in 2017.

But the animated classics these movies are inspired by fared rather well, too at least after inflation.

We've gathered five Disney animated classics and their remakes to compare the box-office takes, adjusted for inflation, based on figures from Box Office Mojo . We included the adjusted and original domestic box-office grosses for the movies, the original worldwide take for the live-action remakes, and the production budgets when available.

The animated movies have been rereleased multiple times in theaters over the years, so we based the domestic numbers only on the original release. We excluded movies like "Dumbo" and "Alice in Wonderland" because reliable box-office data wasn't available.
