RFC on what the criteria for being on this list is[edit]
The page says "CGI characters are only included if they are portrayed as visually distinct from their live-action surroundings—otherwise, the majority of live-action movies which use CGI visual effects would be included." However, that's a very unclear statement on what that means. I fail to see how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows meets that requirement, but Avatar (2009 film) and films in the MCU don't. I do think there is a distinct difference between a hybrid animation/live-action film and a live action film that uses CGI for visual effects, but I cannot think of an objective way to determine the difference. I'm hoping that someone can think of a clearer definition. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 16:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since nobody has commented at all on this talk page in well over 2 years, I thought that it would be okay if I used an RFC to get people to actually see the comment. If I was wrong, you can make this just a regular discussion, though I feel that it turning into a RFC is inevitable because I doubt enough people will participate without one.

RfC is not a means for initiating discussion but an instrument of last resort, used when all other reasonable methods have been exhausted and the problem is still not resolved. There are four WikiProject banners at the top of this page; so if you want people to "actually see the comment", you should post a notice to one or more of their talk pages. Templates such as {{fyi}} and {{subst:WikiProject please see}} are available for this. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, another normal way to get people who care to comment if they don't otherwise is to decide on your own a clear and sensible definition and put it in the page. WP:BOLD. And if no one comments then, there may be no point in soliciting comments, and it would be a better use of RfC participants' time not to do so.

I haven't seen any of the films you mention as examples, but are you sure that the included ones are meant to be included? Maybe the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film needs to be removed.
As for an objective standard, the easiest one is probably that it's classified as a live action film by some reasonably comprehensive source. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:05, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
