𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝!

This is more of a rant than an analysis, an opinion, you can disagree/agree.  

BTW, I haven’t watched the series but read all the books. There would be spoilers on some of the books, on who A is. This is more why it should be animated and how. 

𝐖𝐡𝐲?

In live actions, it's hard to find an actor that looks like the character. However, I think PLL needs some characters to look similar to their book counterparts, not exactly but similar.  

In my point of view, it could have been easier to convey the story to an audience. 

E.G Emily’s parents were racist; they didn’t like Maya because she was black (so it would make sense for Emily’s struggles), of course they can’t find the perfect actor to look like Emily in a live action but can animate her.  

Also, Rosewood has a classy school that the girls attend with uniforms. Obviously, it's hard to use uniforms in a live action but it’s more easier animated (saves hassle to draw different outfits for kids to go to school)  

Honestly, this is more of an idea (sorry I can’t explain this properly).

  

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲?

Mona Vanderwaal’s; in the earlier books she’s described to look similar to Alison by Hanna. This foreshadows what was going to happen in the future, that Mona was the first A. In the first book (throughout the next 3 books as well), all 4 girls kept seeing blonde hair, this would add to the curiosity of the audience if Alison was still alive before finding her body. 

It makes sense to an audience that the blonde was Mona, make sense to the PLL girls that they were targeted by Mona not Alison. Adds more creepiness if they kept seeing blonde hair.  

Spencer Hastings; when she discovered that her Ali was actually step-sisters. Also, it would make sense if past Ali and current/past Spencer look a little bit like each other. Along with Melissa. 

Ali; if there was some scenes of 6th grade Ali and 7th grade her it could show her to have darker blonde hair in 7th grade also darker blue eyes. This would convey on the twin switch, foreshadowing that the Ali they knew was never the real one. (sorry if this part was confusing) 

Nearly any blonde because in Spencer’s flashbacks she always sees someone with Ali who is blonde on the night the murder took place.  

Hanna; It would be more easier to differentiate past her and present her. And to portray how she doesn’t want to go revert to her ‘ugly’ past life that she had. Also to illustrate how much she had changed prior to Alison being missing. 

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝟗-𝟏𝟔

My personal opinion would be to cut some parts that are useless, to shorten them. This is because the books drag the new A torturing them (which is real Ali). 

𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬?

I haven’t read Pretty little secrets (which I don’t plan on doing) but definitely read Ali’s Pretty Little Lies (honestly my favorite book in the series). Ali’s Pretty Little Lies could be an animated movie. 

𝐈𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧!

In my opinion, any PLL character would be better animated, and it could be more better telling the story. Only if it follows the story of the books. 

Finally, I honestly love the book design of the characters and would like to see it animated.

Conspiracy?

[leulah]

thinking about the pll books and how nothing can ever compete with the absolutely insane sister dynamic that melissa spencer ali and courtney shared

a few examples include: stealing your sister’s 24 y.o. boyfriend at 16, stealing your sister’s 18 y.o. boyfriend when you’re 13 (twice), gaslighting your sister into having schizophrenia and sending her to the insane asylum, stealing your sister’s life, accusing your sister’s boyfriend of murdering your other sister, killing your sister’s boyfriend, kidnapping your sister and locking her in the closet with the rotting corpse of the aforementioned boyfriend, blackmailing your sister, forging a video tape of your sister murdering another girl and sending it to the police, trying to kill your sister, actually murdering your other sister, sending your sister to jail (twice), etc etc.

Reading PLL-books once again for nostalgia and am still so bitter that the show strayed so far from them, especially when it comes to the identities of A and some of the endgame-ships... Both will always have special places in my heart, but come on...some of the book-stuff would’ve been so amazing to see on screen.

Sasha Pieterse as Courtney & Alison

[melancholic]

courtney really was a category 5 threat she was a better ali than ali was . not even the actual alison could pull off being alison again like killing courtney was the one smart thing she did bc courtney couldve fucked her life super easily

[katniiss]

i think alison should have had the twin reveal in the final ep and make it so the alison who came back in s5 wasn’t really her (hence the character change) and the twin is the Icon from the first few seasons/flashbacks

[lawtistic]

biblically accurate pretty little liars except im too lazy to worry about anatomy today

[mysticggirl]

Gawking at the mirror, the girl could easily recognize the stark differences between herself and her sister.

An obvious one was their honey-blonde hair that seemed so sweet that it could give a tooth ache. The girl had strikingly short hair that was sliced abover her shoulders, it looked a bit spiky and rough. A contrast to her sister's which was long and curled so delicately.

Another one was their deep-blue, saphire eyes. Hers seemed more grim, dull and ghostly compared to her radiant sister's eyes that illustrated how perfect her twin sister was.

Courtney Dilaurentis finally stopped glaring at herself, you can describe this girl with numerous of adjectives but the main part of her as a person was how mysterious she was. Her life was miserable all she desired to become Alison again, she became so used to be called 'Ali' that she preferred it over her given name.

A little one shot of the Ali survival au.

I honestly think Ali (btw I prefer calling Courtney 'Ali' while the other twin is Alison,her full name)

I honestly think Ali would try to like anything which is opposite to her sister, she probably hates her now and trying to find her own style then becoming the real Alison.

i plead for relief

[couragehopelovefaith]

Once again fell down the rabbit hole of watching some genius Alison is A/A.D/has a twin-videos (when I should be motivated at starting the new year at the uni, oops). Damn, this show had so much potential.
