In a sense, I think it's equal parts nostalgia and growth. Especially in regards to movies and video games, where the original artist's vision was hampered by what they had to work with. Look at things like the Amano artwork for the first Final Fantasy games. The designs are immensely complex, nuanced, and detailed, but with what was available at the time, had to be cut down to an 8-bit sprite. Now, with advanced tech, those designs can be brought to fruition. Same for movies.
As to the nostalgic feel, it's because that generation has hit the stage of becoming a major purchasing power. So of course, they want to tap into those of us who cherish those memories of the past, and aim to tap into that.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 8/17/2016 3:48:12 AMAnd yet, does it always do it justice? One instance where I feel that better technology really detracted from the artistic vision of an original, was Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. The original's cinematography was very clever in revealing Wonka's insecurities and thus the theme of the story, where as the new version was more focused on the flaws of authoritarianism as its thematic premise. I'm all for a reimagination, however this was a remake, and it fell short of the original because it's screenplay relied on CGI more than what was actually going on in the plot.

I'd argue that both had their charms, and took different approaches to Wonka. The Gene Wilder original was a bit more focused on the insecurities of Willy Wonka, while the Johnny Depp version was more showing his way of seeing the world, capturing more that free-spirited, if more than a bit skewed from reality.
