ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Films with live action and animation

Do you like movies where people are pretending to be characters and it looks like things are really happening in real life? Well, some movie makers like to add drawings or animated characters to their movies to make it look even cooler!

Imagine you're watching a movie about a boy who goes to a magical land where everything is animated, like talking animals and floating objects. But the boy is a real person, not a cartoon. The movie makers take a video of the boy acting and put it together with drawings of the animated world.

It's like taking two different things and putting them together to make a masterpiece! Sometimes, the movie makers will even add special effects to make the animated parts look real.

So, watching a movie with live action and animation is like going on a magical adventure with your favorite characters, but also seeing real people act out the story too!
