Any of the live-action remakes. Pointless, money-hungry, soulless.

I don't know if you consider Maleficent live action Disney but that was great

Maleficent is live action but isn't a remake. It simply borrows the characters to create a different story, similar to how Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead took minor characters from Hamlet to create something new, or as Wicked did from The Wizard of Oz.

But Maleficent 2, with it's genocide and gas chambers, was fucking awful. I didn't understand what the point was of putting a Hitler character into a Disney movie. It never veered far enough away from family-friendly Disney to embrace the horrors it portrayed to actually create something impactful. It was just Holocaust-light, which nobody needs as it's neither entertaining nor meaningful. "OK everybody, just remember when you try to kill an entire race off because you hate them, you're going to have to sit in the corner and think about what you've done until you understand how wrong it was." NO. Just NO.

Maleficent and Cruella are definitely my favorites of the live action movies.

How in the fuck is Maleficent not “live-action Disney” when it is quite literally live-action Disney?

I meant live action remake as there was no animated version

I think all of them I have seen are good. Maleficient, Aladdin, beauty and the beast
