I would assume that if you are a big fan of the original, then a 1:1 live action remake is just not for you. It sounds like it would be more for the people who could not get into the original because of the animation.

Yup. I know a couple of people who can't get into it, or it depends on the exact animation style. My partner's mom can't take animation seriously even when we recommend good shows. She just can't get past the media. And another friend only likes certain animation styles (not messy ones like Rick and Morty, or too anime, or 3D like Arcane).

Those people aren't worth appealing to.

I don't think so, either. The types of people that are against "cartoons" (their word, not mine) are all old people that grew up with the idea that anything animated is for young children. What a sad state of mind to be in...

I watched Avatar originally as an adult, and I loved it.
