I think that if an undertale movie was made from the pacifist route it wouldn't be good. Here are my reasons:

- Frisk has no gender so by casting frisk it ruins the fact that they should be a relatable character with a gender that you can choose

- Frisk is supposed to represent anyone. They have lines for eyes, which toby fox intentionally designed them as so anyone could reflect themself on them due to the simple face. by casting frisk this takes away that aspect

-Undertale has a genocide and neutral route as well, so only having pacifist would feel odd, because some players have played neutral and genocide so they wouldn't feel good watching the movie because it'd make them feel like they played the game wrong.

- The movie would only be enjoyable for people who haven't played the game and know everything about it already

- It would be difficult to adapt it into a movie since, like someone said earlier, you can't adapt interactivity into a story. Undertale has so much interactivity in it and so much gameplay that it wouldn't be able to be a movie.

The only ocassion where an undertale movie would work would be if it was about chara and asriel, before the events of undertale and after the war. Now there is a high chance this could still flop as a movie, but it would be better because pretty much everyone agrees that chara is a girl, and there isn't a story to go by since it was before undertale. Chara also doesn't have to be related to by an audience. If they were to adapt undertale as a movie as the pacifist route, than they would have to make brand new fresh ideas to make the movie awesome. Fresh ideas can make any adaptation from a thing work, for example, the lego movie sounded stupid when everyone first heard of it, because people were confused on how a movie about legos would be like, but they used fresh awesome ideas and made the movie super cool. Same for undertale.
