Just as the title says. There’s a few of them out there that could be good.

I have two in mind I would love to see:
E8273FAE-1F11-4CE1-8F89-B00143245969.jpeg
(Underrated movie in its own right)

and of course
DCE8F6AF-F558-40C0-8E75-2AA8DC21BD06.jpeg

What you all say?

Iron Giant for sure will be made live-action one day.

Monster House
should've been live-action to begin with (and was originally planned as such).

How about

iu


And do the Lion King remake motion capture thing for...

I forgot all about El Dorado! That would be a good one.

Anastasia could be good too, but technically she’s a Disney Princess now lol.

Free on Tubi for anyone who wants to revisit it.
I still can't believe they cut out Rasputin when they made the Broadway musical a few years back. His song was the best part of that movie and rivals some of the best of the Disney villain songs.

But anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing a live action Shrek just to see how horrifying it could be.
 
Mine were already stolen:

The Last Unicorn (Iconic) and Swan Princess.

The Last Unicorn really could be AMAZING if given the proper adaption.
 
Glad to see Last Unicorn getting so much love. Get the Wachowskis on the adaptation... Dollar, dollar bills ya'll.

After LU?

Hmm...

How about a live action Flight Of Dragons?

A lot less well known than Unicorn but a Rankin/Bass production none the less. I can't say as some that the original is BETTER than Unicorn, that seems way off, but... A tale with a lot of potential for a modern remake I think.





Titan A.E.? So-so execution but a good idea for a film.




Coraline? With the other Laika films I think they all are perfect fits for the format and yet... (I know I'm gonna get hate for this but...) I feel that of those films Coraline is the most lackluster and off putting with a GREAT idea at the core. So why not give it a remake?





Heavy Metal? We've got a glut of super hero films based off comics... We need more of all the strands of graphic based entetainment. Get some directors and writers of note and challenge them to adapt the original films anthologies or come up with new ones. The tech exists now for sure to realize those stories even on a modest budget.

All these years and I’ve never watched Titan AE, but always meant to. I’ll probably rent it on Youtube today.

Transformers the Movie and Spirited Away.

Didnt Michael Bay already make that happen? LOL.
 
Wasn't Rodriguez working on live action Fire and Ice!

Guillermo del Toro's live action
Garbancito and The Enchanted Sword. :D

Has a legit Cyborg 009 (yes there have been animated films), been done Live Action yet?

That explains why I couldn't find the Broadway version of that song. :(
 
The Iron Giant as a live action movie would be great. But I'd still want it to have a Cold War setting in the 1940s or 50s rather than in modern times. But would it be rather similar to The Day the Earth Stood Still?
 
WTF? Isn't he the main villain? How can they cut him? lol
Like Drizzle said, they wanted to make it more realistic, so they cut out all the magic and replaced Rasputin with a fairly generic Soviet soldier sent to hunt Anya who *sigh* OF COURSE falls in love with her. It's fine, and he gets a good song, but nothing compared to Rasputin, Bartoc and 'In The Dark Of The Night.'
