It’s unsurprising because Disney itself is a simulacrum.
"The Disneyland imaginary is neither true or false: it is a deterrence machine set up in order to rejuvenate in reverse the fiction of the real. Whence the debility, the infantile degeneration of this imaginary. It's meant to be an infantile world, in order to make us believe that the adults are elsewhere, in the "real" world, and to conceal the fact that real childishness is everywhere, particularly among those adults who go there to act the child in order to foster illusions of their real childishness."

When you have limited abilities to predict what is going to be successful, you are tempted to use the schemes that worked well in the past. You take the ingredients that are known, combine them using aesthetic means that are attractive in a given period, and promote it well. In this way you minimize the chances of failure. Experimenting with novel things is not a safe strategy when you repeatedly invest millions, and your way of doing it works. That's why you have, for example, a remake of the Beauty and the Beast (and many other), both by Disney. They know the target group will go and watch it and enjoy anyway.
