Such movies and TV are referred to as "live-action."
live action noun
(in movies, etc.) action involving real people or animals, not models, or images that are drawn, or produced by computer:

You might just say I prefer movies that aren't animated, or movies with live actors.
The other sense of animated could interfere with its use to mean with cartoon characters.
Been through all the classic and modern animated movies on the streaming platforms. Looking for movie recommendations for my 5 year old son that aren’t animated. He recently watched The Alvin Chipmunk movies and Woody Woodpecker movies and liked those.
Feel like he would like The Goonies or 3 Ninja movies, but not sure if those are quite yet age appropriate?
Thanks in advance!
