We’re not saying they all should be, but they could.
This week, Disney releases another live-action remake of one of their animated classics. And they have many more planned for the future. But they aren’t the only ones attempting to adapt animated works into flesh and blood. The Ghost in the Shell joins Beauty and the Beast in theaters later this month, and other anime remakes, such as Akira, are in development.
It is surprising that more studios aren’t trying to copy Disney with the idea, though. Is it because so few non-Disney features involve human characters or because those that do aren’t that interesting? Below I’ve selected some that could work just fine. Some of them maybe should be done. If you have any other ideas, be our guest and share them in a response.

In a video interview with senior editors Rob Licuria and Chris Beachum, Casarosa admitted, "We're so excited! To me, it just means the story is touching people, and people are relating to the story, and that makes me the happiest." The luxurious, pastel-colored animation centers around a young boy on a rowboat with his father and grandfather. It is his first journey with them on their job to sweep up the stars that light up the moon. Pixar founder John Lasseter approved the two-year project, which is based in part on the Italo Calvino story "The Distance of the Moon" as well as Casarosa's own family in Genoa, Italy.
