John Carter - a great movie.

Proving me what? I never said it couldn't be done. Your comment was completely unrelated to anything I posted about. I was talking about future $200 million projects being given to an animated director and tv star to control by Disney because it was too much of a risk and your response was a $145 million movie, released a year ago by Paramount which was a 5th movie in a Billion dollar franchise that was already controlled by one of the biggest movie stars in the world and it's producers. There was no risk. Where is the relevance?

I then pointed out to you that what you are talking about has nothing to do with anything and most of the things you are talking about, you are dead wrong about.

As for Tim Burton who has directed about 15 live action movies and only 1 animated movie which came after 12 live action movies, you are trying to convince me he is an animated film director and not a live atcion director. He is clearly a live action director and it shows in his body of work. The reason some of his first few shorts involved animation was because he was an artist, not because he was an Animated film director. If he was an animated director, he would have been directing animated features, not live action movies. Someone can be great at directing both Live action and Animated films, but they are completely different types of films that require different skill sets to direct and be good at it. It's a lot more work and requires a much greater amount of understanding of film and having foresight to direct live action, than it does an animated film. So to assume because someone can make a great live action movie because he's directed good animated films, will continue to be a risky proposition. One that I am willing to bet Disney will not put down $200 million dollars on to find out any more. Pixar has been hugely successful at producing animated films, so successful they figured they could do it with live action, and Disney gave them a chance because of all the animated success, but John Carter has quickly reminded Disney of the risks and how it is a completely different beast to make a live action movie compared to an animated film.
