Art of Moviemaking includes Science

      Over the years, animated movies seem to be getting more and more realistic. Though, I feel that these changes are costing too much. Many companies such as DreamWorks are hiring real scientist to help animators create more realistic elements. These scientists are popularly a couple more thousand dollars to afford and start making the budget of the movie rise. The movie Tangled (2010), for examples, has is one of the most realistic looking animated movies of its time, but cost over $260 million to make making it the most expensive animated movie ever made. The movie only made $200 million in the United States making it a "flop". Companies like DreamWorks are focusing more on the elements of design instead of focusing on the available resources. 

     Since animated movies are becoming more expensive, I think that movies should go back to where animation was made from simple computers or carefully drawn by hand. An examples is Monsters, Inc. (2001). These kinds of movies are entertaining to watch and still get the point across. They do not need to cost over $200 million to create an entertaining film. The same goes for live action movies. Live action movies are starting to dwell away from traditional acting and focusing more on CGI and special effects to make the actors look good. Plus, a smaller budget can bring in more profit. Monster, Inc. (2001) cost $115 million to make. It later made over $250 million. Why do you think movies are costing so much?
