Don't wait for live-action remakes of famous Pixar animations. At least, not in the next few years. That's what the studio's creative head Pete Docter said in an interview with TIME released this Tuesday (11). "This may backfire on me, but it bothers me [the requests for live-action]. I like to make films that are original and unique in themselves. Remaking them doesn't seem interesting to me personally," declared the producer. One of the most talked about possibilities recently was a live-action remake of Ratatouille to star Rivals star Josh O'Connor.
"It would be difficult [to make a cute mouse in live-action," Docter said. "A lot of what we create only works because of the rules of the animation world. So if you have a human walking around in a house that floats, immediately your mind goes, 'Wait a minute. Houses are super heavy. How are these balloons lifting it?'. But if an animated doll does that, you believe it. These worlds that we created are not easily transformed", he explained. Despite not producing live-action remakes, Pixar is investing in sequels and has high expectations for Inside Out 2, its next release.
