Really proves how simple-minded these people were. They were creating cashgrab nostalgia remakes in a manner that snubs royalties to original crews who worked on the original films, but they couldn’t even tell remaking a modern film with no nostalgia value was a bad idea.
It’s not quite 10 years old. The animated version (and I hate I now need to qualify that) came out November 23, 2016. Still way too soon for a remake, especially when you don’t even recast the second name on the call sheet.
I think they do animate his tattoos. I partially watched a review and saw them moving around as they talked about how jarring some of the CGI to real life transitions were.
Ten years. Still not old enough. To maximize nostalgia, they would have to wait until those who enjoyed the original movie have their own children of the right age, so at least 20-25 years. Which, to nobody’s surprise, neatly matches the time span between original and remake for The Lion King (25 years) and The Beauty and the Beast (26 years). For The Little Mermaid, they waited even longer (34 years).
I wouldn’t really count that as a remake though, just a new (and very different) movie based on the same source material.
The newer “live action” / CGI remakes on the other hand are overall closer to the animated versions than to their source material with the same original characters, same songs and so on.

Is Moana even old enough to HAVE Nostalgia? Isn’t Moana like, 5 years old or something?

If they had animated on top of Dwayne Johnson’s bicep tattoos I might consider watching it.

Oh they did get Johnson? It looks like Moana was the one who stepped away from the role, props to her.
Johnson was pushing for the movie to be made.

10 actually!
Do you think it’s time for a remake of the Moana remake? We could concurrently start working on the remake of that.
Michael Bay would be proud!
They aren’t really human. They don’t think and feel like the rest of us
