People might want to take their kids to see a movie that they liked when they were a kid. Or just go see it themselves for nostalgia. Live action remakes aren’t going to be as good as the original animated movie but they are a little twist on something familiar.
The original animated version of Moana came out 10 years ago. The kids who may have loved this movie ten years ago don’t have their own children yet, and haven’t reached the age where they’re all that nostalgic for something from when they were a kid. People in their early 20s want to experience new things, they aren’t at an age where they want to revisit something from their youth.

Not to mention that the animated Moana is still active with Moana 2 released around Thanksgiving 2024.
