About this report
Since 2010 Disney has been re-releasing its animated catalogue with real lions, real lamps and real budgets. The Consciousness Algorithm scored each remake and the original it was remade from, then subtracted. Reimaginings and prequels such as Maleficent, Cruella and Mufasa are not remakes and are not counted.
