* "Disney" is broad: This could include films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Disney Live Action, and even older adaptations.
* Adaptations vary: Some are faithful, others are very loose, and some are inspired by a book but not directly based on it.
However, we can look at some examples:
