Genuine question about Avatar. At what point is a movie considered "Animated"? Does it have to be 100%? Is Roger Rabbit an animated movie? -- (edited)

Because Avatar sure looks like an animated movie that has people in it and not a regular movie that has some animation in it.

Responses:

Movement is created by actors that is captured and rendered...animated is wholly created by the one or more workers via graphics -- nm - zeitgeist May 9, 11:41 1
- Except a lot of animation does rely on filming humans to capture natural movement. -- nm - TWuG May 9, 12:23
Motion capture isn't animation though (at least by the AMPAS definition) -- nm - Roger More May 9, 11:25
I'd say so. I'd also throw rotoscope into the genre of "animation." - RelutantCynic May 9, 11:17 4
- So the Disney inappropriately (well IMO) termed 'live action' remakes qualify? Lion King, Jungle Book? -- nm - JD May 9, 11:25 3
  - I agree with Mop and Roger More. - RelutantCynic May 9, 11:55 1
    - So do I but I would argue that the Lion King remake has the vast majority of screen time given to 'animated' elements so that it is an animated film -- nm - JD May 9, 12:13
  - I've always wondered about this, and as per Roger More's comment, these are all considered "live action". -- nm* - Mop May 9, 11:42
Is A Scanner Darkly animated? -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 11:17
