Thats where the smart money goes. So I don't really have a problem with the original comment, since I pay close attention to the eyes as well. Poor eye and eyebrow animation can be very distracting...el diablonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-2856731351755380572011-11-01T20:27:45.772-07:002011-11-01T20:27:45.772-07:00"...JL's prodding.

This film may look fancy to the untrained eye but I just can't respect the idea. How odd that I can love over 6 hundred years of art but I just can't come to terms with... robotic puppets. I am huge fan of Tintin ever since I was in elementary school but this wasn't the way of animating the Tintin charcaters. Herge was known not only for his story telling but his fine artistic abilties, what a shame... what a waste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-3276651417527056942011-10-31T20:34:38.025-07:002011-10-31T20:34:38.025-07:00Yeah, the Academy (which I'm a part of as well...Yeah, the Academy (which I'm a part of as well) made the decision based on JL's prodding. He wanted to make sure he was paring down the competition as much as he could. He's still smarting from the years he lost - especially the first year to Shrek. If you don't think JL doesn't get his way then you don't know how the Academy works very well.<br />And being part of a minority I'm against any pseudo governing body that decides to tell a large group of others what they find exceptable and fits into their very narrow definition of what anything is - much less what a form of art is - based upon some obtuse sense of "taste".<br />As artists, much less as humans, we should be fighting against this very narrowing of the definition of what can and can't be called animation. <br />Regardless of whether the majority think it's pretty enough or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-30339866469786102032011-10-31T20:13:32.399-07:002011-10-31T20:13:32.399-07:00The AMPAs has determined that it cannot be conside...The AMPAs has determined that it cannot be considered for the Best Animated Feature category without proving that most of it is animated. They haven't done this yet. As an Academy Member, I consider it an achievement, but not animation. Not even close. And I will fight with the majority of those who already believe the same.
