Re: Can you tell?

Well, from that sentence, it appears that it will soon be both. The original film was animated but it looks like they're making a live-action version.

Without knowing anything about the 2 movies, only from that sentence, can you tell that there will be a live-action movie made from a previous animated one?

Re: Can you tell?

Yes. Animated movie to be made into...

 

[Heidi L]

Yes. Animated movie to be made into...

With this kind of sentence structure "... to be... ", could you please give me another example sentence?

I just received a truckload of grapes, to be made into wine.

I just received a truckload of grapes, to be made into wine.

Does it mean that I just received a truckload of grapes which will be made into wine?

 

[SoothingDave]

Yes.

Yes. In this context, "to be made into wine" means "for the purpose of making into wine."

Jungle book was an animation first, then turned into a live-action film, just like 101 Dalmatians. Disney is making live-action films of many of its animations.
