I too found the motion capture characters in Polar Express to be creepy, except for the hobo, who was a ghost, after all. What puzzles me is why they did it. There was nothing gained and a lot lost that might have been there if the actors had been allowed to act. Great train, though. _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org Archives: http://www.driftline.org
