Because when you remake a popular property you're guaranteed an audience who see it based solely on nostalgia for the original product, so you have a known baseline before you have to make an effort to make it good.

This, but also people have been sold hard on the Disney brand. My sister grew up with Disney movies and now in her late 20s eats up all these garbage live action remakes.

Meh. Its neat to see stories told in a different way.

Also, no ones forcing you to watch them (I hope) so why even concern yourself with it?

Those old movies have stood the test of time and are still well known today. Only Disney has exhausted all they could out of those old movies. Besides, 2010s and 2020s kids need their own version.

Someone says they are making too many Toy Story movies. But surely every kid over the years since the 90s deserves to watch Toy Story in the movie theaters?

It was never going to be a stand-alone one movie brand though. The only reason that Toy Story is still popular is that there were sequels to keep the hype momentum going.

Well thats just straight up wrong. 2 and 3 are both top-tier movies as well. 4, while slightly disappointing / underwhelming, is still pretty damn good too.

2 is too slow paced and by the time they reached 3 Buzz was pretty much completely irrelevant. It just bugs me that they built up the relationship between him and Woody so much in the first movie and then they pretty much did nothing with it after that. A lot of people say that the 3rd movie was really emotional but it didnt make me feel anything at all. Since I didnt enjoy 3 I didnt bother to watch 4, but Ive seen some spoilers of it online and it doesnt sound much better than 3

Built in fanbase (sometimes rabid)
Less risky than new movie
Even if new version or sequel sucks, it usually will do "well enough" thanks to the rabid fanbase and even haters that see it "ironically"
And finally lack of creativity/ease of new technology promotes these re-versions rather than new ideas

Because coming up with new ideas is hard bro. Rehashing old stuff is an easy way to profit off of our nostalgia.

Disney's Aladdin is Disney's own property. But the character of Aladdin can be used by anyone who wants to. Just as long as its not a copy of Disney's Aladdin.

I think they're obligated to from a rule or something so that each generation can experience the same stories, they're just updated. Idk though.

Technically, they didn't even use the characters from the animated Aladdin. I'm not familiar with the public domain tale.
