There’s barely 10 years between the animated one and the live action remake. The kids who saw Moana in theaters are barely now getting old enough to have their own kids. That’s not a new generation. Kids today could see the original and there would be no noticeable difference from any other 3D animation films released this year.
The whole live action remake is morally bankrupt. There’s no other incentive but money. Sure, it will make money and distract kids for an hour. Watch it leave absolutely no significant mark on the broader culture. As well regarded and loved as the live action mermaid or Aladdin, or the lion King.
