>Summer Wars Has any other director managed to get away with making the same film three times? >A group of kids save the world via playing battle games in an ultra detailed 3D virtual world. Now, is that Digimon (2000), Summer Wars (2008) or Belle (2021)?

I can give him a pass for Digimon -> Summer Wars, since it's understandable why he might want to explore the same space again with full length and without the restrictions being part of a then-major kid's franchise brings. I haven't seen Belle, so can't comment on that one.

  Belle seems to do the same things as Summer Wars, but worse. It's not great imo.

    It's not great, but it's not 'save the world in VR'. It's 'save one abuse victim in VR'.

I think this quote is fitting > A director only makes one film in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again. - Jean Renoir

I'm sure there's lots of B movie directors that made the same film more than 3 times.
