>recent 3D animated movies are now getting live action remakesI think these two do a great job of illustrating why I don't like 3D animation and consider it inferior to 2D animation by default, they're basically the same thingLive action movies these days use so much CGI they might as well be 3D animation, and 3D animation itself is obsessed with imitating live action cinematography, light, detail, texture etc that when you make a live action remake you can just reuse all the assetsAll the live action movie remakes of 2D animated movies sucked, but they were also forced to be a lot different than the source material because 2D has its own unique strengths that live action can't replicate
>>152940886>OP justifies shitty cash grabs
why are they making a live action Moana first when Frozen or Tangled is older? Moana is barely a decade old
>>152940935I'm condemning both 3D animation and live action remakes, AND CGI heavy live action movies
uhhh why wasn't she zendaya?
>>152940968Schedule conflicts. She was too busy being in everything else
>>1529408863D animation still allows you to create stylized characters who can be more expressive with their face and with their body movements compared to real actors
>>152940993To an extent
>>152940938Moana is one of the most streamed movies of all time, and the second one pulled over a billion at the BO despite it's lackluster quality. It's an extremely safe IP to put their money on, which is all that matters to execs. Just watch this be a hot pile of shit and yet make great numbers.
>>152940886Nah the advantage of 3D animation is that it can replicate the physicality of live-action while also having as high a degree of freedom with the visuals as 2D animation without it looking off or uncanny.
>>152941012Not all 3D animated movies takes full adventages of it. Zootopia is better example of an 3D animated Disney movie with expressive characters, they are all animals so it might be unfair comparing animal characters to humans
