How did CGI change Hollywood movies?

Imagine a movie with no special effects, like scenes with talking animals or magical worlds. How would that feel compared to movies with stunning visuals?

CGI allows filmmakers to create amazing scenes that weren't possible before, like talking animals or magical worlds. It's like magic for movies.

Example

Think of the first time you saw a realistic dragon in a movie. That dragon was made using CGI.

Remember this

CGI revolutionized Hollywood by enabling the creation of visually stunning and imaginative scenes.
