However, I've noticed a trend that the Walt era films tend to be very different, likely because they're older, whereas the 90s films still have very strong nostalgia so they have to be more accurate to the original films for the fandom to appreciate them.
Fingers crossed they won't do the same with the live-action Snow White. They didn't with Cinderella.
I feel they'll be better when it comes to their treatment of Snow White. Besides the fact that Snow White has sort of an untouchable status, we also know that Disney is planning on making it a musical like the animated movie so it can't stray that far from the original.

And The Jungle Book wasn't so different either. Except the awful very end.
I agree, JeanGreyForever, the mythology should have stayed the same. I also just hate that Paris scene. I'm ok with making LeFou gay to expand his character. What I will never understand is why his actor said he didn't feel LeFou was gay but the director said he was. Maybe he felt he wasn't gay from what he read but played him as gay.
I'm not a fan of the ending either but I'm assuming it was chosen to segway into a sequel. Nevermind that the ending of the original book has him go back to the man village yet there's still a sequel to the book but I trust Jon Favreau.
The only thing I liked about the Paris scene was seeing Notre Dame since it felt like an easter egg to Hunchback but even I know that 99% didn't mean anything about a live-action Hunchback film.
I never realized that Josh Gad didn't play LeFou as gay. I assumed he knew the character was meant to be portrayed that way.
