I just saw a live action and animation movie from 1934- "Hollywood Party" wth Jimmy Durante, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy and Mickey Mouse in a live action and animated sequence. Whassup with your dates. Thirties, not forties! Dcrasno ( talk) 04:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC) 04:27, 25 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcrasno ( talk • contribs)
Before making any changes to this article, I wanted to gather some opinions. Frankly, I do not think that special effects films, like the King Kong and Godzilla remakes should be lumped in with films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I also have doubts regarding, say the James Bond films. I propose that the list of films should pretty much be limited to films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where the viewer is aware of the combination, not films where animation is used for snazzy title sequences or where it’s simply used as a special effect. 67.239.63.243 ( talk) 07:12, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Alien: Resurrection has a reference to Popeye in the film, so it would be in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:4701:C4A0:91CF:B9A:968E:FD78 ( talk) 20:22, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
Is there a better title for this article? It doesn't just include films; it lists TV shows as well. Alphius ( talk) 18:54, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
The list appears to include films with traditional hand-drawn animation as well as modern CGI animation (the Star Wars prequels, for example). Given the number of films which have used CGI even a little (e.g. Live Free or Die Hard used some, but is hardly thought of as "live action and animation"), this list could become immensely cumbersome and I think would lose it's intent. So how should "animation" then be defined? JayHubie ( talk) 05:02, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
It seems motion-capture technology to animate a character will exclude that movie from this list. The many characters Andy Serkis has lent his talents to (Golum, King Kong, Ceaser) and other movies (The Mummy, etc) seem to fit in this category, but are not listed.
The Avengers, which uses motion capture for The Hulk, is on the list while the other Hulk movies since 1990 that used computer animation to create the character are not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.165.48.46 ( talk) 21:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Should live-action/CGI adaptations of cartoons be included in this article? There are numerous examples listed in this article including:
These films contain CGI characters that are photo-realistic or near-photo-realistic in order to fit into their live-action surroundings, which suggests that they should be classified as live-action films with CGI effects (like the Transformers film series or the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film), and thus be removed from this article.
On the other hand, the CGI characters in these movies have large, cartoony eyes and exaggerated facial expressions like cartoon characters, which suggests that they should remain in the article. (The exception to this is Paddington, in which the title character is animated in a similar way to the CGI animal characters in The Chronicles of Narnia film series).
In addition, there are similar adaptations that are not in the article, such as The Flintstones and The Smurfs.
Thoughts? -- Davoniac ( talk) 23:17, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
There are a couple of discussions above where we tried to discuss this previously, but I don't see definitive, objective criteria here. We have some films that clearly belong here: Space Jam, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and such clearly belong. We also have some questionable cases and some that I doubt anyone would include, but fit the very loose criteria assumed by the title.
Before going any further, I think there is one criterion we can all agree on (and certainly speak up if you disagree): We are including only blue-link notable films here. If the film does not have an article on Wikipedia, it does not belong here.
Now a bit of the problem. There are numerous films (especially recent films) that use animation (broadly defined) to replicate material that wasn't done live for various reasons: expensive special effects, star refused to do nudity, etc. The ape and dinosaur in King Kong (1933 film) were not meant to look like anything but a giant ape and a dinosaur. Actress X didn't want her breasts shown in film Y but the audience wasn't meant to know.
We don't seem to have objective, sourced criteria for what is and isn't "animation" or, for that matter, "live action". - SummerPhD v2.0 22:34, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
