Thats more about the state of the industry as a whole more than anything. People rarely go to the movies on something they have never heard of anymore.
Disney is in the business of making tentpoles and keeping shareholders happy. Not to be risky and edgy.

I don't need an edgy Disney. Just give me a Disney that wants to continue to strive for new ideas. Remaking animated classics is just lackluster. Especially when the new movies really don't add anything worthwhile. |

Yea I would agree. But these things are making money. Unlike stuff like Wrinkle in Time.

Disney is making new movies all the time. Frozen, Moana, Coco, Wreck it Ralph, plus many more are all new ideas and characters. Whether they add in anything worthwhile is subjective but they are certainly constantly creating new movies and exploring emotions on a level that many movies can’t even touch. As for the remakes, they aren’t mailing them in. They are well made and keep people interested in the stories. I’m sure most people who enjoyed them growing up will enjoy the remakes, and now they get to experience them with their kids and Disney doesn’t have to rely on parents only to show these movies to kids. One thing to remember is that these movies make nothing in terms of dollars compared to what the parks make each year. Disney parks and resorts made $20 billion just last year. The movies are not about the cash grab. They are about keeping people interested in Disney as a whole and keeping the parks from becoming stale. The parks have countless attractions, themes, and resorts that are all tied directly to older characters. Those have to stay appealing and the remakes help with that. |
