Because they have a pretty good idea that all the people who saw and loved movies in the 80s and 90s are now grownups and likely to see a remake out of nostalgia, and if they won't, their kids probably will, because they've heard about how awesome it is all of their lives.

Its interesting that the Dumbo remake sorta flopped and the Aladdin and Lion King remakes made huge money.
Most 40 and unders have little to no attachment to Dumbo.
