That's why you've always been concerned so much with tiny pixel adjustments and Oxford commas: you've been an AI the whole time!

https://variety.com/2023/film/news/the- ... 235627664/After opening on April 28 in Japan, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” has hit the JPY10 billion ($71 million) milestone in just 31 days – the quickest ever by a non-Japanese animation in the Japanese market.
In the latest three-day period from May 28 to 28, the film earned JPY632 million ($4.5 million), bringing its cumulative box office to JPY10.1 billion ($71.7 million), according to figures supplied by distributor Toho-Towa.
Based on an iconic Japanese game series, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” currently ranks third all-time at the worldwide box office for animated films, behind “Frozen” and Frozen II.”
Toho-Towa has not issued a final earnings forecast for the film. And the title still has a way to go to catch Japan’s all-time box office leader, the locally-produced “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.” That earned JPY40.4 billion ($288 million) in 2020.

Disney's Lion King remake is the highest-grossing animated film of all time, not Frozen II.

Disney, and several others who keep track of that sort of thing, consider it to be live action. So basically depends on who you ask.

Re: Illumination and Nintendo Team up for Animated Mario Movie!
If people are watching your movie and assuming you used live animals, I think it’s fair to call it “live action” just for the sake of simplicity.

Re: Illumination and Nintendo Team up for Animated Mario Movie!
Yes, and I agree with you, but it is designated as a "live-action" feature because it was "shot" on a soundstage (or more precisely a "capture volume") with VR "cameras" using on-set style methods, and rendered photorealistically. It’s basically a studio designated label to differentiate it from the *actual* animated original, but most, despite not totally agreeing with it, accept it as being "the live-action" version.
Just as the difference came between motion-capture films, Frozen II was a tradigitally-animated keyframe film, which is the biggest difference between how these things are generally described and assigned, just to retain *some* sort of balance and clear distinction between them.

Re: Illumination and Nintendo Team up for Animated Mario Movie!
It's an all animated cg film with no live actors at all and a one second shot of the sun. Spongebob has more live action in it.
It's as live action as the care bears movie. Sorry disney. Toy story and sleeping beauty were seen as "real looking" animated films at the time also but are still cartoons.
It's a cartoon disney!
