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?

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.

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?
