While Netflixs version is still enjoyable, it doesnt hold the same joy and wonder as the original series.
But just because they can be adapted doesnt mean they should be.
Sometimes, the original magic of a first go at a series is what makes it special.

And there are plenty of animated series that shouldneverbe adapted into a live action version.
Imagine CGI talking babies?
Thats not something I ever want to picture.

But as a live-action series?
One thing musicals and cartoons have in common is that they can and should be larger than life.
But adult cartoons, likeBoJack Horseman, would lose something else if adapted into a live-action version.

Nickelodeon
Much of the show is wrapped up in the art of the animation.
