The movie can definitely have a different look in live action. But, in animated medium, it elevates the narrative to a different level, where every emotion is magnified and each point easily grasped. The movie uses traditional animation, which always works wonders, unlike modern animations whose advances look fancier and can take away the attention from the more important aspects, such as the narrative and the specific points that every scene conveys.
