Animation VS Live Action

Remaking movies is something that has become incredibly popular in the past decade or two. Although remaking movies is something that brings back great movies and shows them to the newer generations. Although most times when the movies are being remade, the original movie is only taken as a suggestion, and movies that people considered classics are detrimentally changed forever.

The rise of remaking Animations in Live action is something that has been increasingly popular with companies like Disney. Where most of their older movies were all animated and in many cases do not fit the new rules of PG movies, and many parents now are less ok with allowing their young children to watch movies that either have crude jokes in them or are considered scary. They decide instead of redoing them in animation, they make them live action.

Each time a movie is remade from animation to live action, there is always the debate between whether the movie is better now by using CGI or if the original animations were better. Both sides of the argument have good points. The animations of the movies hold a nostalgia with them that brings many people back to their childhoods, and they enjoy seeing the old animation style of Disney.

Then some people would rather watch the new remake of the movie, where many things that were in the first movie, like the songs or the visual effects, have been improved. The remake also brings these old movies from the past back to the newer generation and enlightens the younger generations with things their parents grew up with, but now it is different and new.

In my opinion, I think that the remake of old animations is something that is not as negative as many people make it out to be. The reason I think that, though, is not because of the newer look to the movies, or the new soundtrack, but instead I enjoy the remakes of the movies, because from there it encourages people to watch the original movie before watching the new version, making people fall in love with the old movie first and foremost.
