Animated adaptations are creative reinterpretations of existing stories, characters, or themes presented in animated form. These adaptations can come from various sources, including books, comics, video games, and even live-action films. They often aim to bring the original material to a new audience or to explore the story in a different visual style. These adaptations can vary in style, ranging from traditional hand-drawn animation to modern computer-generated imagery (CGI). Popular examples include Disney films like The Lion King, which is based on a stage play, and Pixar movies such as Toy Story, which originated from a concept of toys coming to life.
