Should have gone full CGI for War of the Rohirrim.

So I watched a few of the cutscenes from the new game Mecharriow 5: Clans. I'm really impressed how god the CGI were of the characters and how much emotions they can convey through computer graphics. Imagine if War of the Rohirrim got the same treatment, but only better for movies. Yeah the movie's budget would have been doubled, but it's worth the risk. The movie would feel like it was a live-action and I think most people would be super excited. Animation anime are still seen as childish and worried the general audience would not be so interested.

Americans are much more aware of anime these days; anime frequently screens in US theaters now, and shows like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex have regularly aired on Adult Swim. Many more people know that anime (and animation in general) is not just for children. Anyone still prejudiced against the animation medium is no more likely to see a CG-animated War of the Rohirrim film than they are the cell-animated version.

I think of anime as saving money by producing a few still frames and shooting those repetitiously. I prefer full motion. That said, Speed Racer was one of my favorite "cartoons," a term that "animation" and "anime" somewhat pretentiously avoid.
Actors, or their estates, have begun to sign away rights to their image (e.g., possibly Peter Cushing - in litigation; Bruce Willis rumored but denies) and voice (e.g., James Earl Jones) for use in films. Images and voice could eventually be used as easily as "fonts" in a word processor.

In a previous thread, I commented on this, but you didn't reply back. Anime movies are not just for children. Japanese anime series and films often explore deep, mature themes like friendship, love, loss, and war, sometimes even more so than live-action films from US. I recommend you watching, Ghost in the Shell, Attack on Titan, Berserk (the original one), Vinland Saga, Carole & Tuesday, to name just a few (including many many many more).
As far as a full CGI movie, I am sorry but I completely disagree, there is a certain artistry in the anime format, that is unfathomably superior than CGI, not to mention how much more emotion you can convey through hand-drawn animation.
Maybe, Anime is new for you, and maybe it is not your thing, but I would just suggest you to to give it a try.

I myself am very excited for this movie. It being anime is another art style, as a fan of the Studio Ghibli films (Princess Mononoke is one of my favorite movies, and definitely not for younger audiences) and currently watching season 4 of Attack on Titan, I am excited
"Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed."

It's just that the animated looks so childish in my opinion. They should have gone for something like Jin Roh animation or a new type of animation that looks like live-action. Just my opinion.

Most people see it the other way around, don't they? CGI is for kids?

This seems like personal association - Lots of people think fantasy stories are only for children, because that's all they've ever seen.
If you're only exposed to stop-motion movies for kids you'll be less open to movies like Anomalisa and Mad Gods.
With anime, if your only experience is with Spirited Away or Pokémon, you might assume it's childish - But I don't think this is the case for most people? I'm clueless with anime, but even I'm aware of Perfect Blue, Grave of the Fireflies, Death Note etc. These are huge, award-winning projects, most people are aware of even if they don't like the style.
Full-cgi however, definitely has a larger association with kids movies, Shrek and Pixar. They've tried things like Beowulf and Tin-tin, but it never catches on. I don't think it's a bad idea to try - it's actually a stigma I'd like to see challenged - but your argument seems to be the wrong way round to me.
