I think the more grievous issue, is that of making this live action. Animation is used to help make unrealistic plots and actions more acceptable. It's why the Avatar movie was an uncanny valley of nightmare fuel.
Did the movie Splash work? Yagh sure, for the most part, for a romantic comedy. But you need to show that fish body as little as possible. Because lets face it people, fish people is silly cartoon nonsense. And per usual, this live action remake will in no way stand up to the original.
You're talking about the "uncanny valley" phenomenon, aren't you?
And I agree, some things are meant for traditional animation.
CGI will eventually look old. Animation never will.
I'm also touching base on the concept of "the picture plane". Which allows more abstract images to be accepted on the merits of their concepts, and not their abilities to look realistic.
Never heard of that one, interesting. Thank you.
