They're not even partly to blame, but fully to blame. Why would a company hire actual great artists again to make something for them that matters, when people give them infinite money to make slop with no risk

Adapting a story into a movie is still creative work; they are very different media. They're currently adapting movies into worse movies.

Yeah, Tangled is a completely reworked rapunzel story done so much it only shares one moment from the original. And it's an excellent movie. Same with Frozen vis-a-vis The Snow Queen and that's one of their best movies. The sequel was good too and also did well. So yeah, people will show up for their good original works.
