Do people actually want more live action or LLM slop remakes of animated classic movies? I understood it as a cynical IP-milking from corpos, but if consumers want them... why? (hexbear.net)

This is of course inspired from that "AI entrepreneur" douchebag that spent $745 to commission a treat printer to print out a shitty and soulless whitewashed version of Princess Mononoke and assigned himself that title the way that putting a quarter in a gumball machine makes someone a candy entrepreneur.

I really don't have a good answer. Anyone else?

Didn't Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast clear $1 billion? Idk about the others (or what others there even are, for that matter)

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
