The live-action remake of Grave of the Fireflies is playing at this years festival? I'm going!
Why would they bother making a live-action remake of this animated classic when they got it right the first time! There's no reason to remake this >
Honestly, I think it could work better as a live-action film. Why was it even animated in the first place?
Film critic, Roger Ebert, brought up a very good argument as to why it's actually better as an animated film than live-action in his review. I think you should check it out on YouTube, Minilla.
Y'know, there are other great films playing at this festival besides the live-action remake of "Graves", people.
