Live-action




In Film and Video , live action refers to works that are acted out by human actors, as opposed to Animation . Live action is the norm in Film and Video , and thus the term is usually superfluous. It is an important distinction, however, in situations where one might normally expect animation, as in a Disney film, a Video Game , or when the work is adapted from an Animated Cartoon , such as the '' Flintstones '' or '' Josie And The Pussycats '' films, or '' The Tick '' Television Program .

The term is also used within the animation world to refer to non-cartoon characters. For example, in a film such as '' Who Framed Roger Rabbit '' where humans and cartoons co-exist, "live action" characters are the "real" actors such as Bob Hoskins , as opposed to the animated "actors," such as Roger Rabbit himself.
