What I've always understood from a business standpoint, but never understood from a creative standpoint, was taking a good movie and making it 'again'. Doesn't it make more sense/is less risky from a creative standpoint to take a bad movie and re-make it well? Better yet, why go from animated to live-action? Why not the other way around? While I haven't see a lot of Disney's older live-action movies, The Black Hole comes to mind. The vision for a movie like that was probably well beyond the technology they had at the time. Well it's 2019 now, the technology exists. They can re-make it with great special effects, or even make an animated version.
I know it falls on deaf ears because the name recognition seems to trump all (unfortunately) but I just keep thinking of the potential opportunities they have in their library.
