They’ve also remade Winnie the Pooh, Aladdin, Dumbo, and others. They are currently remaking The Little Mermaid, Mulan, and Lady and the Tramp. The entirety of Disney’s classic animated catalog is fair game apparently. Of course not every remake has sparked the same level of outrage, and it’s not always directed at the CGI. Aladdin took flak because they replaced Robin Williams’ Genie with Will Smith, and he wasn’t expected to be as good. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Disney_live-action_remakes_of_animated_films https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Disney_live-action_r...

Too bad they don't plan to do the Black Cauldron. If you haven't seen it, it's almost unimaginable it was ever produced by Disney.

None of those feature non-stylized, non-cartoony, talking photorealistic animals

  That's because most of them didn't have a cast that was made solely of animals, but they do have their share of cringey CGI mistakes. The Little Mermaid will feature photorealistic sea creatures, but we don't know how they'll turn out yet. Christopher Robin's Winnie the Pooh was photorealistic and looked creepy. The slightly less recent Beauty and the Beast had a bad looking Beast. The Jungle Book remake had a god-awful Baloo. Disney's track record is not good with these remakes.
