I agree they were a terrible idea in terms of art/quality. But they made $ at the box office so that's all the Mouse really cared about. Cinderella is the only one I think you can even justify making since the original animated version is pretty lightweight in terms of story and character. Plus the cast was stellar - Lily James, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter. But don't get me started on Maleficent! The pitch meeting must have included something like "let's ruin our best villain by giving her a sympathetic back story". Garbage.
