I think I know what REALLY bothers me about the style of it...It looks like a COMMERCIAL populated by action-figures! Something bothered about the clip since I saw it, and I couldn't really put my finger on it until I saw it twice.
Style works well in hand-drawn cartoons. Hand-drawn images always have that because of the people doing them. When everything in a CGI looks real, except for the people, it's a lot more jarring. Pixar worked VERY hard to make the people in the Incredibles 'feel' believable by putting in quirks of expression, dynamic hair, and believable shaders for the skin. I thought strand hair was what was missing. I was wrong.
In the close-up of Ben Kenobi, he looked plastic. Literally like a close-up of an action figure. A decade or so ago when Reboot was all the rage and people were raving about the effects in 'The Last Starfighter', this movie would have been ground-breaking. It just seems like like this is just a slap-dash thrown together effort from the look of it. I think this is a total two hour commercial for action figures.
Few people might not remember the feelings of betrayals the Return of the Jedi engendered in some people when it turned into an advertisment for "Ewok Teddy Bears" and all the gawd awful Ewok crap that followed the first three movies. Apparently Lucas is just up to it again. :lol: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL At least this stuff is not as revolting as Ewoks! :lol: LOLOLOLOL
