Disney's Christmas Carol (with Jim Carrey) Review and the Uncanny Valley

[Fujiarmu]

I really don't see the creepiness in this movie's animation.

The reviewer definitely has a point about one actor playing so many parts.

Well, I think they purposely made it creepy. Most of the people who've seen the movie will probably know what I mean...the stuff that happens in it is messed up, even without the weird visual design.

The Polar Express creeped the hell out of me. I mean, I love Tom Hanks, but not evil dead-eyed zombie Tom Hanks replicant. A Christmas Carol just looks dumb and almost...offensive. Plus I can't stand Jim Carrey (except in Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind).

Worst adaptation: A Diva's Christmas Carol with Vanessa Williams as Ebony Scrooge.

Second worst: Ebbie with Susan Lucci as Elizabeth "Eddie" Scrooge.

I dont think its going to be that bad,afterall it's from the director of Forrest Gump-one of the best films ever

[filmfailblog]

True, but he also directed the Polar Express, Beowulf and House of Wax more recently than that, which were all God-awful.

[jasminaz02]

He only produced House of Wax, that doesnt mean he was actually involved in the making-afterall i don't think any Oscar winning director would sink low enough to have Paris Hilton in his film

Do you think Avatar perfected MoCap?
