Disney has been on this trend for the last twenty years, where they take one of their animated movies and then remake it into live action.We've seen it happen with The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White. And now they're doing it with Moana.So what's the reason Disney is doing this with all their marquee hits?Let's dive in.Disney is Remaking Moana to Make Money The original animated Moana is ten years old. The sequel just came out last year. But now we're getting a complete live-action remake. While that seems soon, the people inside the House of Mouse know it's the perfect time to capitalize on a popular title. Every time I see one of these trailers, the same comments go viral: "Why is this happening?" And people are thinking way too hard about this kind of stuff. The reason it's happening is money. These movies all make a ton of money, outside of Snow White, which got bad reviews; the rest of them were financial successes. They saw the live-action Lilo and Stitch movie cross a billion dollars this summer. The first Moana movie cleaned up at the box office, and now they hope to just double their money on another movie that follows the exact same idea, story beats, and visuals, but this time with live-action people. Like it or not, years are long enough to think some fans of the original movie will now have kids of their own to take, or maybe even appeal...
