Well if it did get remade, I would be cautious. If it was made in traditional animation, I'd be thrilled. If it did follow the original story closely, then yes, I would give it a chance. However, since this is now a time where remakes and reboots are plentiful, I'd advise Hollywood to not touch the original, and simply look to other movies worthy of remakes/reboots, including original films that didn't do well at first, but could be done better with a remake/reboot.
However, since the original is a classic, I'm a little skeptical they would pull off one that could match the greatness of the original.
And I wholeheartedly agree with Sovereign, a CGI comedy would be a waste, and not do justice to the original.
