It's really because business men find CGI and live action to be the trendiest thing. A lot of animated characters have been sent into live action worlds: (Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Smurfs, Fairly OddMovie) just to name a few. I was annoyed by the release date, but now that I hear of the low budget plan, I'm pretty more disappointed than I was before.
