10 Best Disney Live-Action Movie Remakes Ranked Worst To Best

Let's face it, Angelina Jolie just doesn't appear to be interested in a career in front of the camera anymore. The vast majority of the projects she undertakes these days involve her being behind the lens either as producer or director, which is going rather well for her.

The downside is that she clearly is losing passion for her original craft, as she has mostly undertaken voice roles and supporting characters over the past decade.

So, when Disney wanted a sequel to the success that was Maleficent, few would have imagined that it would have taken five years to get the movie made. Even with the said five years, Mistress of Evil was just 'meh'. The story was so so, the performances by a talented cast were fine, but there was nothing special in there. Nothing that audiences actually wanted to see.

This again translated to a loss for Disney, somewhere in the region of $8 million dollars, who must have been wondering why five years of development and work translated to something this bad, it wasn't even fast-tracked.
