I think it's best to make it an animated movie for kids. It would be much more appealing to the target audience.

I think animations are great for kids. I noticed that it captures their interest rather quick.

I think that if trying to attract children then animation should be used. As an adult I would appreciate an animation as well.

Animation certainly sounds like a good idea. As a movie, I don't really see how they can bring out the good parts.

I would choose a movie simply because I'm not fond of CGI animation these days. If they did it in the old hand-drawn style then maybe animation would be good. They'd also have to have some musical numbers because I think everyone likes those.

It just depends on how they did it I suppose. If the script is a good adaptation, then that is the most important thing. A lot of movies put way too much filler just so they can insert more bloated, nonsensical action sequences. I prefer more heart and emotion to carry the story, but too often it's become secondary in modern children's movies.

I think animation is a much better option, considering the particular age group that the book is catering to.

For me, it prefer movie than animation because in the movie, the characters are true people unlike in the animation that the characters are just a fiction. I don't want that the children will believe in a fiction.
