V: third Smurfs installment will be entirely animated (its predecessors were live action/animated hybrids). [SMRF3] Feb 25, 10:24
Is it wise to change the format like this in mid stream? What are the potential outcomes to this decision? Is it a good decision or bad? Feb 25, 10:29
2 did $200M+ worldwide less than the 1st. change or die {nm} Feb 25, 10:33
Is it less expensive to produce; therefore lower overhead? {nm} Feb 25, 10:37
Fully animated looks better nowadays, IMO. Live action/animated was better back in the Roger Rabbit days. Feb 25, 10:45
Sounds better to go with animation. The live action and animated movies looked really fake. Especially Smurf 1. {nm} Feb 25, 11:17
I figure people came to watch the Smurfs anyway, not Neil Patrick Harris...no offense intended to NPH :) {nm} Feb 25, 15:39
