Let's face it, motion capture is cool and all, and it may be Zemeckis' most favoritest thing in the world, but Beowulf doesn't look like a live-action person. He looks like a video game character. Render humans that way, and you lose the whole point of the movie. A silly move, I'd say. The entire charm of Roger Rabbit was that live-action humans and 2-D cartoons interacted.

But she doesn't from the front! That's the upside to 2D. Pesky thing about 3D is that if you model it from the side, it's still there in the front! You're not catching him in a contradiction.

I'm still unnerved that they are making a sequel to begin with, but now 2d mixing with cgi people, it'll be a little too artificial from the sound of it. Hopefully the toons won't be flash animated, but I'm not holding my breath.

Still hopeful though because Zemeckis usually knows what he's doing. except with Beowolf, which i did see. It was so meh, i forget he used mo-cap with it sometimes even.
