It's a "safe bet". I agree with you btw.

I feel this is more of a general symptom where Hollywood has been reduced to domination by a few studios that are not willing to invest it take risks on creativity, so instead of something new and interesting we get live action remakes, Indiana Jones and the Adult Diaper, and a remake of Harry Potter.
I’ll know they are serious when they remake Song of the South. All live-action segments are now animated, previously animated segments are now live-action.
You know what, let’s not stop there. Live-action remakes of the Don Bluth movies, starting with The Secret of NIMH, then All Dogs Go To Heaven, An American Tail, then Land Before Time. Shit, let’s do Rankin, too! Who’s up for a live-action The Last Unicorn?
They would never do it, but I think an honest remake of Song of the South would be absolutely amazing.
Leave the rich white people out, have the characters be entirely made up from the ex-slave sharecroppers. Show the miserable conditions, and show their escape into the fantasy of Uncle Remus.
Maybe make the reflection of the real-life antagonists a bit more clear with the characters of Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox, and maybe stir in some revenge fantasy while you're at it.
Disney only cares about money, and these live action remakes have been a huge gold mine for them with almost no risk compared to an original movie. In other words, learn to accept the things you cannot change, because this one ain't changing.
I've always wanted the opposite to happen. I want to see live action movies made as cartoons. Mostly with sci-fi/fantasy stuff where the impossible is made possible, and animation would make visualizing some of the fantastic things a lot better and ultimately easier. I mean if 90% of the movie is already animated with CGI, why not just also animate the last 10%, too? 🤷🏻♂️
