Run Lola Run

There really aren't that many differences between live action and animated movies. For each movie there is a plot, layout, proper sounds, etc. However there is a difference in the actual kinetics of it all. For most of these situations we can understand that anything is physically possible in an animated movie, but that isn't really where kinetics come into play.

For the movie Run Lola Run, we see both aspects running together. For instance, there were some times where there was an emotionally tense situation and it split to animation of Lola running. At these times the there was little physical attributes associated with the running other than the movement of arms and legs. Now when she was running in live action there was the moving of arms and legs, heavy breathing, a look of concern on her face, and sweat. All of these things add to the realism and influence how we interpret the character's disposition. Now in full animation movies such as the Lion King you will see the same aspects come into play. If someone is hit you don't see the full impact (i.e. blood, bruises, etc.) unless it is pertinent to the story.

In conclusion, there really is a fine line in the differences between live action and animation. However, the slight differences that come into play make a huge difference for the viewer. When we take the time to notice these it can help us to understand the subtle pieces in the story that tie everything together.
