animated adaptation
Drawn-from-source film
An animated adaptation is a cartoon or computer-animated version of a story that originated in another medium—typically a novel, comic book, video game, or live-action film.
The term emphasizes both the animation format and the derivative nature of the work: The animated adaptation of the graphic novel won several awards.
Studios frequently produce animated adaptations of popular franchises to reach younger audiences or explore visual styles impossible in live action.
