Basically, these movies both are very entertaining and well presented in their own ways. Obviously, both consists of the same story plot but the major differences among the two include the version. One is animated and the other is live action animated. There is a huge difference between these two entities. Animated movies are ones in which individual drawings, paintings, or illustrations that are photographed frame by frame. Whereas live action animated movies is a genre that combines both live action with traditional animation or computer animation sequences that add to the plot or sequence of films which can include portraying animated characters interacting with cast members.

Animation has an endless stream of possibilities that cannot be restricted by any such laws of our simple physical dimension.  Animation can stretch across the fabrics of space and time, and even many popular "live action" movies are made with special effect animating. Animating represents infinity, which is a pretty neat concept in itself.  Animation also takes much more work and effort as live action shots only require the movement of a body part or a stunt double to do something crazy, while there are an incredible amount of artists focused on drawing each individual frame, as well as matching audio with visual elements to blend together a spectacular show of emotion and reality. Some animations have given the style a bad name, or bad taste temporarily, but in my opinion, animation is just that much cooler.


My View


I've watch both of these movies and I thoroughly enjoyed both. But if I had to choose one over the other, I would choose the 2016 live action animated version. I am not quiet fond of animated movie so I would prefer the other one. I am not saying that I dislike the animated version, but I feel that the new version is the better one. I have watched it 2 times already and I wouldn't mind watching it again without getting bored. I think the awesome and unique live animated version made me like that movie even more.
