Ten years. Still not old enough. To maximize nostalgia, they would have to wait until those who enjoyed the original movie have their own children of the right age, so at least 20-25 years. Which, to nobody's surprise, neatly matches the time span between original and remake for The Lion King (25 years) and The Beauty and the Beast (26 years). For The Little Mermaid, they waited even longer (34 years).

I wouldn't really count that as a remake though, just a new (and very different) movie based on the same source material.

The newer "live action" / CGI remakes on the other hand are overall closer to the animated versions than to their source material with the same original characters, same songs and so on.
