There are “high art” blockbusters and then there are crowd pleasers.
Super Mario Galaxy is not what I would call slop. Is it a good movie for typical movie-going adults? No, but it satisfies its target audience (kids) and has a 87% audience score on rotten tomatoes.
The difference between that movie and the Moana remake is that the Moana remake doesn’t have an audience that it satisfies.
