What 8 Disney Live-Action Remakes Looked Like Behind The Scenes | Movies Insider

Disney's live-action remakes of its animated classics have become a box-office staple over the years. In order to make a photorealistic world of talking animals, "The Jungle Book" and "The Lion King" relied on innovative virtual production techniques.

"Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" made Angelina Jolie look like she was flying through the air, and "Mulan" used wire work to allow its heroes to do gravity-defying stunts. In "Aladdin," Will Smith donned a motion-capture suit, which allowed the film to create the Genie with CGI while still giving the character the actor's signature moves. And "Beauty and the Beast" built its sets from scratch whenever it could.

"hey didn't you say you were an actor for disney? what was your role?"

"oh, i was a green screen elephant on stilts."

[lindsiebelt]

That little boy acting by himself 🥺 at least he had puppets.

[palakmehta]

Wow Angelina looks amazing even when she's wierdly flying about on air.

[girllife]

"everything the audience loved"
u know what I loved? mulan being a strong woman who was able to climb up the ranks with pure determination and hard work and seeing her do this, not through superpowers.

[deodatlawson]

At this point the visual effects team should be on the red carpet instead of the actors

[mehakbhangu]

“I heard you acted in the Jungle Book?”
“Yeah, I was one of the hands with the googly eyes”
“What?”
“I think they took us out.”

[melonypanda]

Imagine being a Hollywood actor and being asked to dress up in a green suit and portray a baby elephant

[rengenevv]

Liu Yifei did 90% of her own stunts.
Damn.

Also Angelina Jolie is legendary as ever.

[chrisfuller]

So moral of the story is, Angelina required no special effects to be insanely gorgeous.

[maefortich]

I feel like we don’t give the people behind the scenes who makes all this happen enough appreciation

[jazzymilk]

Let’s give a moment of a appreciation for the animators

[mopeterson]

2015's Cinderella will forever be my favorite. It's just perfection and gives me butterflies every time I watch it

[kungfudildo]

I guess when the shot mogli the fantasy of the child actor was really appreciated

[Officiallyabby]

The behind the scenes teams need more recognition like awards and red carpet

[krishnendunair]

Imagine being the only human being in a movie and all other characters are props

[terracottabrown]

The effects team for every movie like this deserves an out standing award..

[jacebrielle]

The actor of dumbo: “ did you know that I was the actor of dumbo.”

Friend: “No you’re not.”

[cartoonhigh]

There’s not a single Disney Remake that I like better than the original, but the work they put into them is extremely admirable and should be appreciated.

[mai.vancon]

Out of all the movies from this video, the best is *Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.*
That movie had amazing cgi and lighting vfx.

[StrangerBlocks]

“How do you make a photorealistic lion that can also belt out songs?”

you can’t. That’s why it looks so weird
