live action reboots of Studio Ghibli cartoons

Should Disney do live action reboots on Studio Ghibli cartoons?

I do not believe Disney has the rights to the Ghibli cartoons anymore, though a remake would certainly be a different deal than the distribution deal they had in place. Honestly, I don't think that there is a market for these in the US but also I think those would be VERY difficult to adapt to live action. They are so fantastic, in an otherworldly sense. I'm just not sure how it'd play.

Don't care if it's Disney or not but I'd love to see a live action/CGI (and more book accurate) adaption of Howls Moving Castle

So long as it's not directed by Burton

I've loved the live action versions of Cinderella, The Jungle Book and Beauty & the Beast. I've often thought about Studio Ghibli films being live action and I think they could work well. However, there's a certain magic and charm of animation that is difficult to replicate in live action I think.

On a side note, I really like the live action version they made of Grave of the Fireflies - it was really good as a live action version of a critically acclaimed animation.
