Remakes sell one thing: Familiarity. People liked something once, so it’s likely they will enjoy it a second time. More importantly, it stands to reason they might pay a second time for the opportunity to enjoy it a second time.But this is one of those catch-22 type situations — just like the one in that classic motion picture called, what was it?

The latest The Bold and the Beautiful episodes explore the consequences of Luna Nozawa‘s pardon and how the ordeal affects several key characters intrinsic to her story, like Finn Finnegan and Steffy Forrester.

And next year there’s a live-action Moana, with Dwayne Johnson reprising his voice role as the demigod Maui. In between, Disney also has a new Lilo & Stitch. Well, new-ish.
