FF had great unmatched models and CGI for the time.  But had quite poor 
plot.  I'm also assuming you haven't played any FF game ever.  They 

movie.  I don't think most people got it.

I think the UV works worse for CGI movies who go for a complete motion 
capture approach.  Polar Express had an eerie Tom Hanks mannequin and 
Beowulf had eerie (but better) mannequins of Angelina Jolie and Anthony 
Hopkins.  Not to tell character models in games these days already look 
almost as good as those.

Pixar and Disney will remain down the cartoon look, that is, cartoonish 
models with cartoony proportions filled with realistic materials and 
lights and *hand animated* for better performance than any one actor. 
Avatar came up with grown-up smurfed thundercats, but I'm wondering when 
one big company will come out with a movie employing character models 
like this one:
