I think it has a lot to do with how Hollywood looks down on animation. Sure, they like it for kids, but they don't respect it for 'serious' films.
Same thing with SciFi, and same with Fantasy. LotR won zero Oscars, lol.
EDIT:
To be clear, I don't think people what that garbage at al. Look at how poorly the Disney remakes did.
I don't mean to disagree with your main point, but LotR famously won an enormous number of Oscars. "The Return of the King holds the record for most Oscars with eleven alongside Titanic and Ben-Hur." They're some of the most awarded films in the history of the Academy Awards.
All my bad. Do your research folks!
Didn't Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast clear $1 billion? Idk about the others (or what others there even are, for that matter)
edit: to clarify, I'm talking about the live action movies
My own understanding (that I refuse to research, I am lazy) is that the live action ones did numbers in China, where they aren't sick of CGI-fests that dominate modern Hollywood films
I assumed they were profitable enough to keep churning them out.
