The biggest advantage of a cartoon is the one most people ignore. In fact, it's worth commenting that C. S. Lewis was quoted as saying he was opposed to a live action adaptation of the Narnia books but would consider an animated one. Too bad he died before one got going. There is a distinctively visual logic. Realistic drawing is reporting of course. Caricature, with its exaggeration, is commentary. Lewis apparently wanted both and I'm sorry, what I've seen of the movies is not sufficiently like the (sometimes exasperating) author I've lived with most of my life. The point of view seems, relatively speaking, as minimal as it is in the Golden Compass. Mise en scene is a phrase more often used to describe live action movies, but watch the Triplets of Belleville (as often as possible) or Nausicaa for examples of what only animation can do.

Even today Mad Magazine gives an example of this, but for Marvel comics like Spiderman or even DC I'm afraid some of us don't see the new stuff as different from or better than the live action movies, while in the forties and again in the sixties this was cheap and often improvisatory fantasy with a life this ponderous CGI doesn't provide, even if back then French Cartoonist Philippe Druillet in his Lone Sloane series was experimenting beautifully with computer graphics.

Seen from this point of view, there is no disadvantage to cartoons of any sort. However, one question we answered was about the Great Addams Family cartoons, which became both a TV series and some movies which were live action. These were actually single panel cartoons, not strips. Nevertheless, the live action versions matched what until then could have only been a cartoon in every way. Many people can relate to "live actors" and realistic situations better than to any alternatives and when you are trying to appeal to the broadest audience and spending a lot of money on it realism seems to be the safest way to go about it.
