Disney is in the middle of a never-ending run of making live-action versions of all their animated movies . . . and some are better than others.

There have been 13 live-action movies so far, including “The Lion King”, which is in theaters this weekend.  Here’s the complete ranking, along with their critic score from RottenTomatoes.com.

  1. “The Jungle Book”, 2016, 94% . . . Audience Score:  86%

Obviously, this includes some from a couple decades ago . . . but they’re coming hard and fast now.

Another “Maleficent” movie is coming out in October . . . there’s “Lady and the Tramp” in November . . . then next year they’re putting out “Mulan” and “Cruella”, which is a movie about the villain from “101 Dalmatians”.

And there are even more in the pipeline . . . including “Peter Pan”“Tink”“The Sword and the Stone”“Pinocchio”“Red Rose” from “Snow White”“Prince Charming” from “Cinderella”, and “The Little Mermaid”.

Plus, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”“Lilo & Stitch”, and a “Jungle Book” sequel . . . so no, they’re not messing around.
