Yeah. Typically studios don't make movies with the expectation that they won't make money.

It is the exact same movie as the cartoon. Same songs and characters. Just like Jungle Book, they are cashing in on the naivety of this generation's youth.

Well they've been doing this for quite a few of their properties (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc.), and they've been critical and commercial successes. They've also been different enough from the original stories to keep it a little unique at least.

But I don't get why people care whether a movie is necessary or a message is necessary, when nobody is forced to watch it.

Using your logic every single movie that adapts a book, play, or comic or any existing IP is just a cash grab. Remakes like the 1939 Wizard of Oz, 1964 A Fistful of Dollars, 1982 The Thing, 2010 True Grit are all soulless cash grabs. Just go watch the original amirite?
