# 18: What’s the best animation to live action movie adaptation?
Our last fight focused on the simplicity of the comforting things, like books and warm fireplaces. Maggie argued that Mary Poppins was the master of the common joys. The MFC agreed, giving Maggie the win and with it the right to ask:
What’s the best animation to live action movie adaptation?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.

X-Men: Days of Future Past.
The X-Men animated series was a little weird but the film took great, creative characters from the comics and envisioned them in a different light. Probably the best example is Logan/Wolverine. Watch the animated X-Men Wolverine and compare the character to Hugh Jackman's version and there's no question it was all done for the better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-IFF9G25Cc
Took me almost all week to think of this, so I’m squeaking it in at the last minute and am just begging some of you to fight with me over whether or not it’s a true adaptation of the original, anyway… but…
Maleficent, from the old Disney version of Sleeping Beauty.
It’s totally a twist on the storyline so it doesn’t get points for faithfulness so much as creativity in putting the focus on the opposite perspective.
