From Cartoon to Live-Action (Score 2, Insightful)

I am wondering why it is the fad of recent times to bring cartoons into Live Action. I for one, do *not* approve. In many cases, cartoons tell the story and character designs much better then live action could hope, unless they have huge budgets for computer graphics. Flintstones, for example, all the ways they had comparable technologies with their animals. The little elephant vaccumm cleaner... I feel bad for the actors, that have to stand and act with a blue screen actor, trying to imagine the blue guy actually looks a totally different... America should give cartoons more of a chance to be mature and for adults. In America's culture, it is so hard to find grown up plots and thoughts without sex and violence going along with it.
