Which is why I don't think the Mario movie look would fit. Backgrounds are too static. Link travels outside. We need to see grass move in the wind, running waters, beautiful atmosphere of a meadow. Hence my Brave comparison. And that's low balling. My dream would be Princess Mononoke quality.

On one hand; full blown Ghibli animation with Spirited Away detail? Yes please, incredible. I'd love to see Link and Zelda animated like that.

But live action? Go retro. 80s. Legend, Labyrinth, Neverending Story, Return To Oz. Imagine it.

Base case is we get slightly above generic.

Good points, but Inside Out is Disney. Brand carries it, Ne Zha 2 i've personally never heard of, but where did it make most its money? Because locally, Chinese product tends to do great. Demon Slayer is insane though. I don't think anyone saw 700M coming from a movie on that series.

Would live action cost more money though? Depending on the budget of course, but animating beautiful trees, moving grass, & forests vs. filming in a field.

Wiki says Brave (2012) cost 185M 13 years ago. Zelda's rumoured around 150M. Toy Story 4; 200M. What would Brave cost today? Over 200M I say.

Money. Like how many Westerners won't watch a classic anime movie, but will jump onto anything Pixar and Disney, many others won't watch anything animated unless it's a green screen behind a real actor.

Live action will make more bank.

Surprised to see no Parasite Eve on the list from a horror fan? Hmm. Oh, gotta add Tenchu and Spider-Man (2000)!

I have yet to play Final Fantasy IX, I need to get on that. Maybe Persona 2, also. Persona 3 FES is in my top 5 best JRPGs all time.

Great choices. Alan Wake 2 and Silent Hill 2 are so amazing.

People morally outspoken and left wing until it comes to animal suffering for their tastebuds.
