The thing about Live Action Adaptations of an Animated Work is an Obscure Hollywood loophole where you don’t have to pay anybody involved in the originals any royalties.
I forget the exact Court Case but a couple decades ago the courts decided that the live action remake and the animated film it was based on were too different to warrant royalties, even in the case of 1 to 1 scene recreations.

I don’t want them to get royalties, I want an end to this madness.
Good to know I don’t have to feel bad for refusing to watch live action adaptations of cartoons or comics I like though! Draw it or GTFO!
