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?

There's a huge number of people who think that anything animated is automatically "for kids." So they as an "adult" will refuse to see anything animated, regardless of how much they like the movie. So when there's some live action remake of an animated movie, people flock to it, because it vaguely gestures in the direction of a movie they like but arbitrarily have decided they aren't allowed to watch.
