What's with all the live action Disney remakes?

As new announcements have been made for Disney's movie lineups, I can only shake my head at how much un-original content is being made. One can only look at many of these movies as Disney's desperate attempt at grabbing money. As I look around I wonder when will Disney fans become tired of their favorite movies being redone. Why do we need a remake? To spread to other generations? To see if we missed something in the first movie? Why can't we just pass the movies we love down to other generations instead of paying to watch a completely new movie that may lack charm? Now I will admit some of the live action remake movies that Disney has made I enjoyed, but that doesn't excuse the other eh remakes. Like...

Wow, this movie was the most obvious attempt at Disney wanting to cash in. With its high star and director status, even I was fooled in assuming this movie would be quality. It was not. The weird thing about what made this movie bad was all in the writing. Most of the actors seemed to be somewhat trying...except for Elle Fanning. I don't know if it was the plot? Or the ending? Or the fact that they tried to make the villain seem morally good? Who truly knows. The staggering thing about this movie is that it actually got good reviews from critics and audiences. I have my thoughts on why that is, but I'll save it for another day. 

Pete's Dragon wasn't terrible I'll admit. However, it was boring and Pete looked like a weird mashup between a Pokemon and a troll. 

Cinderella I liked the most out of the other two. This movie added a lot to the animated version Cinderella, and I enjoyed the lack of musical-ness. However, even through it's visuals were spectacular, the movie still came out a little boring and long. Also I did not enjoy the fairy godmother at all. However nothing for me can top the live action cinderella that Disney made in 1997. 

The Jungle Book gets a pass. It was good, and added a lot to its storyline. This movie seemed to actually want to try to create new and meaningful ideas. I have no complaints.

Now for the new lineup of live action remakes. Disney has added 16 live action lineups. Let me repeat they've added 16 classic movies to their live action lineup!?? Now come on, I could have expected Disney to make live action remakes out of their less loved movies, but to make a live action out of EVERY SNIGLE ONE OF THEIR CINEMATIC MASTERPIECES IS BLASPHEMY.  Disney only seems to be making most of these movies to cash in on nostalgia, not because they actually want to. I'll make exceptions for two movies: Mulan and The Sword In The Stone.

What are your thoughts?
