Live action is the norm in [[film]] and [[video]], and thus the term is usually superfluous. It is an important distinction, however, in situations where one might normally expect animation, as in a [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] film, a [[video game]], or when the work is adapted from an [[animated cartoon]], such as the ''[[Flintstones]]'' or ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (film)|Josie and the Pussycats]]'' films, or ''[[The Tick (TV series)|The Tick]]'' [[television program]]. The term is also used within the animation world to refer to non-cartoon characters. For example, in a film such as ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' where humans and cartoons co-exist, "live action" characters are the "real" actors such as [[Bob Hoskins]], as opposed to the animated "actors," such as [[Roger Rabbit]] himself.
