Disney has- for some reason (aka "Cash Cow"), started remaking some of their classic animated features into live action ones. This got me thinking... what animated films would I like to see as live action films?
Well, we don't have to wait, as I'm going to answer that question right now. Here are my top five animated films I'd like to see remade as live action features.
1. "Ratatouille" (2007)- A rat finds himself in Paris... helping a bungling restaurant helper become a renowned chef. It's a simple one that wouldn't require much to transition from animated to live action as the cast of characters is mostly humans- with one main animal character to be CGI'd.
2. "Castle in the Sky" (1986)- When a young woman floats down from the clouds, Pazu finds himself embarking on a quest to return Sheeta to the fabled Castle in the Sky... a castle his father died trying to find years before. This Studio Ghibli film would look great in live action. It would give a studio a great chance to push the envelope in regards to special effects.
3. "Inside Out" (2015)- Check out my review for the synopsis, and my opinion of it. I just think it would be cool to see how a studio would be able to blend elements of the CGI movie with real life actors.
4. "The Tale of The Princess Kaguya" (2013)- A poor bamboo farmer finds a little girl inside a bamboo shoot, and takes her home to raise as his own. As he becomes rich, she because sought after by many suitors- the emperor included. While she longs for the simple farm life, events unfold that soon reveal that she's not quite who she thought she was. Another Studio Ghibli film that I think would make a great live action film- especially if it managed to echo the simple storytelling and artistic style of the original.
5. "Coraline" (2009)- After moving into their new house, Coraline finds a mysterious door leading to another world... one where she's allowed to do pretty much whatever she wanted. Soon, however, darkness starts to show through the cracks... and Caroline finds herself in a race to save her parents and herself. Once again, if the live action remake could capture the style and feel of the animated version, I think it would be a cool movie... possibly even creepier and scarier than the original.
So, there we have it- my top five animated films that I'd like to see a live action remake. What do you think? Do you agree? Do you think I'm full of pretentious bullshit? Let us know!
