Yyyeah... That film was actually unwatchable for me. It wasn't that they 
were too real, but not real enough... when you get close, it starts to 
resemble animated mannequins, and quite repulsive. To the point where 
the whole movie looked stupid and poorly done, though it was probably 
good I only watched a few minutes.

The Polar Express was also similarly difficult to watch, and was a movie 
aimed at kids!
