Why don't they just make fantasy movies in full CG?

There are tons of good fantasy books/series which never got the big screen treatment because it'd be expensive and risky.
But with CG you don't need to build sets or hire big name actors, therefore keeping costs down. You can still offer a spectacle. Just keep churning out franchises until something hits big.

you want to look at real people's faces at least.

pixar movies cost about 150 million each and they don't even go for realistic characters. it's simply to expensive and risky, expecially if you want believable CG humans.
I liked Beowulf and always wondered why there aren't more full CG non-kids movies.

That's what warcraft is trying to accomplish right?

Because those trailers take years to produce and cost millions each. It just isn't feasible to make a full CG movie like that, especially with such a risky genre.

Fully animated is for kids regardless of the content. If it's not PG appropriate it won't make money, therefore the high costs of CGI cannot be justified.

Literally Uncanny valley : the motion picture

Because it's either realistic or cartoon style.
Realistic, well>>67850983
And if it's cartoony, people automatically think it's for kids.

The Final fantasy franchise is still around.

Good cgi is expensive bro
Also since it's technically a cartoon that's not comedy it won't make much money as it's deemed childish

Expensive and takes time to finish
Blizzard Cinematic trailers are like 5mins long but takes alot of time to render and even can overheat the super computer they use.
