"I have to say the animation doesnt look like anything you´ve seen before, it´s actually done so well that it takes you a few minutes before you realize the actors are animated as well (or actually it looks more like animation-effects have been painted over actual live footage). This is intriguing at first but quite soon the characters start looking quite dead, just like the ones in ´The Polar Express´." http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33207 Yeah, who knows the reports don’t sound too enthusiastic either…

Really? Polar Express was pretty wrteched in terms of character design and movement. He's a great at special effects, no doubt, but I don't know if I trust him around fully computer generated characters. Anyone see Monster House? Also, thanks for linking to our Rorschach story!
