Article: Top 10 Animation Films That Should Be Live Action

10.Hotel Transylvania /2012 – 2022 (Dir Rob Letterman)

Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s lavish five – stake result, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them. Rob Letterman normally does live action film with the comedy aspect, he would be ideal to direct this and maybe Chris O’Dowd would play Dracula, Odeya Rush would play Dracula’s daughter. It will be CGI/SFX plus the casting will be from his other films, this would be a PG film as well.

9.Missing Link (Dir James Bobin)

Mr Link recruits explorer Sir Lionel Frost to help find his long – lost relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri – La. Along with adventurer Adelina Fortnight, this trio of explorers travel the world to help their new friend.  With James Bobin he got that balance right and he doesn’t make live action films too scary, he would be amazing to direct this, maybe Nicholas Coombes play the main lead and Isabela Merced would play Adelina, plus CGI/SFX and this would be PG.

8.Fireheart (Dir Niki Caro)

Desperate to help her father and save her city, Georgia disguises herself as a young man called “Joe” and joins a small group of misfit firefighters trying to stop the arsonist. Niki Caro normally made feminism type of film which is important, this would be the same and maybe Darby Camp would play the main lead, there would be a special message in this film, it would be a 12A film.

7.My Father’s Dragon (Dir David Lowery)

Elmer Elevator searches for a captive Dragon on Wild Island and finds much more than he could ever have anticipated. I noticed with David Lowery film he focused on the stunning scenery aspect, he made the story simple so he would be amazing, especially with this film and maybe Alexander Molony would play Elmer, there will be CGI/SFX that made this realistic, this will be a PG film.

6.Arthur Christmas (Dir Gil Kenan)

Santa’s clumsy son Arthur sets out on a mission with Grandsanta to give out a misplaced present to a young girl in less than two hours on Christmas Day. Christmas films they can be beautiful with a special message of families, this is also an adventure film. In my eyes it should be Gil Kenan who direct this as he normally made adventure type of films, a newcomer called Henry Lawfull would play Arthur, it would be an exciting kid’s films and this would be a PG films.

5.Leap! /2016 (Dir Chloe Zhao)

An orphan girl dreams of becoming a ballerina and flees her rural Brittany for Paris, where she passes for someone else and accedes to the position of pupil at the Grand Opera House. This film has got two names and it also called Ballerina, Chloe Zhao normally made character driven film so she will be ideal for this film, she normally bring in newcomers and she always choose the right casting, maybe Cailey Fleming would play the main lead, plus it will be a 12A film.

4.Nimona (Dir James Cameron)

When a knight in a futuristic medieval world is framed for a crime he didn’t commit, the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona a mischievous teen who happens to be a shapeshifting creature he’s sworn to destiny. My first thought for this film is James Cameron as it makes this his own, it will be with amazing visual and more character driven, I reckon Chloe Coleman should play Nimona and the knight will be Oscar Isaac, it will be thought provoking and it will be eye catching from start to finish, this film will be a 12 as it will draw you in.

3.Ethel &Ernest (Dir Simon Curtis)

Ethel, a maid, gets married to Ernest, a milkman. The couple dreams of a middle – class lifestyle and strives to fulfil their dreams. Personally, I would love Simon Curtis to direct this film, he made powerful films that you connect with, so he is ideal to made this. Maybe Milo Ventimiglia and Amanda Seyfried would play the younger version, he would think about the casting and it will be a PG film, it is one of those potential film would leave you a lasting impression on you.

2.Jack And The Cuckoo – Clock Heart (Dir J.A. Bayona)

 A midwife replaces the ice – cold heart of a newborn baby with a cuckoo – clock to save his life. To keep the clock working, the boy must stay away from love. J.A. Bayona would made this a gothic coming of age film, Lewis MacDougall would play the main lead with dreamlike visuals, this would be quietly powerful and it probably move you, this would be a 12A type of film.

1.Curious George (Dir Paul King)

The Man in the Yellow Hat is an oddball museum employee who looks after his pet monkey, an inquisitive and wonderful creature whose enthusiasm often gets the best of him. Even when I watch this film, I imagine Paul King to direct this, it will be heartwarming and a feel-good experience, Timothee Chalamet would play the main lead with a CGI monkey, it will a PG film.
