Between Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book and Alice in Wonderland, Disney has developed quite a knack for remaking their classic animated library in live-action and letting the money flow in. And like it or not, there are plenty more live-action remakes in the pipeline for years to come.

It's not hard to see why Disney is putting so much muscle behind these remakes. Beauty and the Beast opened to a record-breaking $174.8 million earlier this month, beating Batman v Superman's record as the highest-grossing March opening and clocking in as the sixth biggest opening ever.
