Well, for starters, real locations are harder to control. But additionally, real locations generally wouldn't do the BIONICLE world justice. BIONICLE has its own unique flora, fauna, geography and architecture. Besides some settings like deserts, real-world locations would have to be heavily modified (either digitally or with props) to look anything like the BIONICLE universe's distinctive locations. And that's a lot of expense with no real benefit: CGI settings are MUCH easier to make realistic than CGI characters anyway.Additionally, if you're not going to have human actors, then doing CGI or motion capture for all the characters in a real-life setting is more trouble than it's worth. Again, you're paying more money for less control of the environment and how the characters interact with it.Also, there's nothing remotely childish about animation. Even if there were, BIONICLE was created from beginning to end with kids in mind, and aiming it at adults instead of kids would be doing it a much greater injustice than making it animated.in response to the flora an fauna, it's not really hard for film makers to do that.

The age group is 5-16. I think PG-13 would be okay, but it'd have to be on the verge of PG and PG-13 to pull it off. I agree.
