The main difference between a live-action and an animated script is that an animation script usually requires a more extensive scene description. The characters that are moving need to be more detailed than the background which will have to stay the same the whole time. Also, the lightening has to change because the figures are moving as well.

FROZEN 2013
Princess Elsa of Arendelle has the ability to generate and freeze ice and snow, and her younger sister Anna enjoys playing with her. When Elsa mistakenly uses her powers on Anna and nearly kills her, their parents take them to the trolls, who save Anna’s life and make her forget about her sister’s talent. Elsa returns to the castle and withdraws to her room, fearful of injuring Anna with her growing strength. When their ship sinks in the ocean, their parents perish, and Elsa’s coronation forces her to open her castle gates to rejoice with the people three years later. Anna meets Prince Hans during the party and falls in love with him right away, deciding to marry him. Elsa, on the other hand, objects, loses control of her powers, and freezes Arendelle. Elsa flees to the mountain, and Anna joins forces with Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and the snowman Olaf to track her down. They track her down in her freezing castle, where she accidently strikes Anna in the heart; now, only real love can save her sister from death.

The reason Disney and other big studios decided to move away from 2D movies and work more on 3D animated movies is that 3D animation was becoming very popular around the world. People saw the 3D CGI to be more immersive and something new compared to 2D animations that they used to see for decades. It seemed to be a good decision for their marketing because there was a huge competition with big studios trying to create new 3D animated films. Of course, Disney didn’t fully abandon 2D animation but it’s only used for TV series like “The Owl House” and “mickey mouse”. However, their 2D animated films didn’t show a lot of detail because it doesn’t require as much effort compared to creating a full animated film.
