Animation vs. Live action

Week 12 prompt 2

One movie that I think has a blurred line between animation and live action is Space Jam from 1996. The movie stars a live action Michael Jordon, who is acting among the animated cast of the Looney Tunes characters. This movie was a commercial success and is still relevant and talked about today. I think that it’s very difficult to say which category this movie belongs in, because it fully contains elements of both. I think it should just be considered a hybrid film, to call it one or the other is just ingenuous and is ignoring the entire creative premise of the film.
