From Disney's 'Lion King' and upcoming 'Cats' to Warner Bros' 'Detective Pikachu,' it's clear Hollywood can't stay away from live-action remakes. But anime is an area filmmakers may want to leave alone. Imitating animation, replacing character development with action and casting are all concerns.
"American remakes don't seem to get why people like anime," said Susan Napier, a professor of Japanese studies at Tufts University. "There are many risks in Hollywood trying to do these anime remakes ... many times the immersive, otherworldly quality is there for animation. That doesn't necessarily transfer at all to live action."
"I'm not sure if they can really do the same in live action because the animation itself just kind of pulses with energy," Napier said. "[Live-action] just doesn't seem to have the same flexibility and freedom."Anime also deals with more adult, and often dark themes, than Western animation does, Napier said.
