When taking something from animated to live action, don’t you pretty much always lose money? You are taking a low budget of animation and inflating it with real costumes, practical effects, set design, etc. Is there a goal that studios are trying to match, because it seems like it’s always destined to lose money?
I refuse to watch any live adaption. Ever. Animation is beautiful and perfect and should never be duplicated with live actors and action that will never be as exciting and imaginative as the original. I find it a completed insult to everyone who worked on the original movie.
People pay to watch them……….
The same as remaking old movies. Money
So, what do you do with the Avatar movies? Do you animate them or make them live action?

Just being lazy.
Money. Making more money…
Hollywood out of ideas etc. etc.
I can’t think of one adaption that was worth it.
They think live action is better.
