Your first big-screen experience is likely to have been Disney productions --- whether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen --- that have long been considered safe, healthy choices for kids, and pictures that parents can feel they don’t need to screen in advance.
   When you are a big person, a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life; when you’re a little person, it can be like a new entry opening in the universe. Those experiences matter, and Disney knows the power -
-- and the profit potential --- of what’s in its values, which helps explain the studio’s ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated films, often in live-action versions.
How do you feel about director’s interpretation of these movies, a combination of live-action filmmaking techniques, virtual-reality methods and computer-generated imaginary, depends largely on how you feel about the original. The stories, even with a gently updated script, are roughly the same. If you’ve seen the original, you know how the rest of them go.
In the following years, we’ll also watch other Disney’s remakes such as Mulan. Any children raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive. Right?
But judging by critics’ ratings of some live-action movies, it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to wow audiences.
So why more live actions?
The money
Let’s face it: Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue. Even though it did not manage to capture critics, it still managed to catch the audience’s hearts. And that is more than enough. After all, films are not made to entertain critics; it’s all about creating an ultimate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers. And as long as they’re entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories, why stop making live-action films?
Inclusion
When you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters, it’s beyond magical to see them again when you’re an adult and are the same age as them. That’s one of the few magical effects of movies. Not to mention, Aladdin’s South Asian cast is also a strong statement for the world. Perhaps this is also the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast. Let’s hope they’re not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told.
Nostalgia (怀旧)
All of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers, Gen X-ers and millennials,
and many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies, in particular, now have young kids of their own. Little wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them.

第 60 题 标题为the money中提到，电影制作不是为了接受娱乐的批评，而是吸引观众和电影迷，只要可以做到吸引，就会制作这一类的电影，所以这是主要的原因，结合段落标题可知根本原因还是为了利润收入，故选B。
