On-point... next one on the pipeline is "MULAN" Cartoon to Real Human.

News flash, all major motion pictures are created "just to make money". I like the Disney animations and rather enjoy the live action remakes.

I also enjoy remakes of classic movies. It doesn't appear that I am alone.

But what is the criticism really? That they are making something they know lots of people will like?

It's not like a remake is any less effort than an original.

Even the script has to be rewritten and I would guess it takes even more effort to come up with a rewrite that doesn't stray too far from the original.

The new Mulan is going to be closer the original story, not a 1:1 remake.
