Very cool article to read.

Without rehashing all the stuff thats been said, I think this link can fill in the holes. Funny read at the least.

Here is a clip.


"I am reminded for some reason of The Phantom Menace Star Wars movies...crossed with Dinotopia. The characters look like people wearing prosthetic faces. The story, what I saw of it in the trailer, doesn't grab me. Again, there is something vaguely "new Star Wars" about it...and I don't like the new Star Wars movies.
Sometimes character design is actually "annoying"..if that makes any sense. Either 3D works or it does *not*..just like that weird Geppetto movie with the tool head guys...there is no appeal whatsoever..nothing that charms you, makes you want to see more. Why is this? I guess some people naturally are able to manipulate CG characters more masterfully...or at the very least have supervisors that can spot problem areas and help refine them...so they aren't so monsterous looking.
And how many times have we been subject to the "naive but bold young guy who dares to court the princess" storyline? "
