Could be much better.
But could also be way the fuck worse.

Because people are scared of enjoying animated movies because they are "childish"...What's wrong with animate movies?
Why everything must be "live action" and super realistic these days?
Because the Oscar committee flat out admits it doesn't watch animated movies and literally created the best animated film award because an animated film was nominated for best picture once and they never wanted that to happen again. That's how the film industry feels about animated movies....What's wrong with animate movies?

I'm saying that's the general atmosphere in Hollywood.Except that logic doesn't actually seem to fit. What people would be looking for Oscar prestige for making movies based off toys and/or video games?
Sure, but my point was more that I don't think that what you said really has any connection with the question of "Why make a live-action Sonic movie instead of an animated one?".
The answer is the same. Because the same thought process - "animated films are inferior kids stuff only young children would have any reason to see and by making it live action we're automatically making it superior and more appealing to a wider audience" that led the Academy to segregate the animated films was going through the heads of the people who made this.Sure, but my point was more that I don't think that what you said really has any connection with the question of "Why make a live-action Sonic movie instead of an animated one?".

Ah bu the executives think that they'll make more money if they also get adults who are clearly repulsed by animation to watch it too!
Note that this is a live-action remake of a property that was most popular between one and three decades ago. Aka, they're specifically shooting for the "adults who were fans as kids in addition to current kids" market. And how do they think you do that? By making it not-animated to signal that it isn't Just For Kids this time.Ah bu the executives think that they'll make more money if they also get adults who are clearly repulsed by animation to watch it too!
Except don't the nerds actually demand these movies to be animated? I mean, they're making an animated Mario movie too, and nobody's up in arms about that beyond who they gave it to.Note that this is a live-action remake of a property that was most popular between one and three decades ago.

I never said it was a smart decision. It is not in most cases, as should be evidenced by my earlier statement that the logic underlying it is the same as the logic behind segregating the animated Academy Awards.Except don't the nerds actually demand these movies to be animated?

I don't think Hollywood is THAT stupid, though. As far as I know, this is their judgement logic for why they do these movies, and it's got nothing to do with animated or non-animated:I never said it was a smart decision.

CAN be. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I also said it could also be easier than animation. Anyone looked up the budgets for the Hotel Transylvania movies?Live action can easily be more expensive, though. More expensive actors generally, special effects harder and thus more expensive because you need higher-grade CGI and to render it special rather than just do it in-model...
