Disney Needs To Stop With The Remakes

So I was cruising through BBC News as I do daily and came across this little disturbing nugget of information:

Disney is remaking Yellow Submarine. In 3D.

Some remakes can turn out well. I mean, I thought Star Trek was fantastic, and that was Touchstone (I think?). But I really can't see this ending well.

Yellow Submarine was a (trippy and weird) cultural moment that doesn't seem to be easily replicated. And much less by Disney, the maker of all that is family-friendly entertainment. I feel like the drug-induced animation and storyline will be streamlined to make sense for a family, and I don't really think that The Beatles were going for that.
