In the live-action of Aladdin, during the “A Whole New World” musical sequence, as opposed to traveling the whole world by using the magic carpet, Aladdin and Jasmine fly around Agrabah, because practically it’s not realistic to travel around the world in one night on a magic carpet. In the dancing scene of the 2017 Beauty and the Beast, Belle and the Beast show intimacy by looking deeply at each other’s eyes. Understandable because the comical expression is more suitable in cartoons, and when real people portray comical expressions, they tend to be less realistic.

The most contrasting treatment every live action has is probably the absence of comical humor in the characters.

Aladdin (2019) gives Jasmine more depth and creates a character arc by making her a princess aspiring to be the sultan rather than just a rebellious girl who wants to run away from the palace.

In the live-action of Beauty and The Beast (2017), the character of Belle becomes the inventor and the Beast can read, in contrast to the animated version. In doing so, iterations toward the characters, the plots and the treatments are essential to attract both of the target audiences. Just like any other of Disney’s live-action films, their main objective in retelling these stories is to attract both older audiences who watched the animation and new, younger viewers who are not familiar with the film.
