Disney fans take the legacies of their beloved characters very seriously, so when it comes to casting actors and actresses for live-action remakes, directors have some major glass slippers to fill.
*cue nervous breakdown*
Fortunately, Disney has cast some incredible talent to take on these revered roles (and the costume designers haven't done a shabby job, either).
Here's what 12 live-action Disney characters look like compared to their animated originals:
The Mad Hatter from "Alice in Wonderland"
Johnny Depp played the Mad Hatter in the 2010 live-action version.
Alice from "Alice in Wonderland"
Mia Wasikowska played Alice in the 2010 live-action version.
Belle from "Beauty and the Beast"
Emma Watson played Belle in the 2017 live-action version.
Watson recently had to defend her character after critics condemned the actress for "glorifying" a woman who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome.
Maleficent from "Sleeping Beauty"
Angelina Jolie played Maleficent in the 2014 live-action version.
She recently confirmed that she signed on for "Maleficent 2."
Mowgli from "The Jungle Book"
Neel Sethi played Mowgli in the 2016 live-action version.
Cinderella from "Cinderella"
Lily James played Cinderella in the 2015 live-action version.
The stepmother from "Cinderella"
Cate Blanchett played Cinderella's evil stepmother in the 2015 live-action version.
Cinderella in "Cinderella"
Brandy played Cinderella in the 1997 live-action version.
Ariel from "The Little Mermaid"
Diana Huey currently plays Ariel in a live-action theater version.
(But unfortunately, racists have an issue with an Asian-American actress playing the iconic character.)
Aladdin from "Aladdin"
Mena Massoud is set to play Aladdin in the upcoming live-action version.
Jasmine from "Aladdin"
Naomi Scott is set to play Jasmine in the upcoming live-action version. Fans might know her from the 2017 remake of "Power Rangers."
Jafar from "Aladdin"
Marwan Kenzari is set to play Jafar in the upcoming live-action version.
