None of their animated films have been "improved upon" by the live-action (or in The Lion King's case, """"live-action"""") versions. Most have lost something to the constraints of looking more realistic, especially any energy or style they might have had.

A live-action ENG would absolutely ruin the pacing and energy of the movie.

I admit that I liked the live action _Cinderella_ better than the animated version, but that's because the director made it different. In fact, I would have been okay if he had removed the mice entirely.

Oh, and it's a film where the phrase "Every Frame a Painting" [1] is very true. Nearly every frame looks like a Baroque painting, and it's gorgeous.

Other than that, yeah, Disney screwed up the live action versions.
