I mean Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, a great voice cast, and they did it the way it needed to be done, which is CGI animation (I think as a live action movie it would look far goofier). Anyway, there's finally a teaser trailer posted on the 'net. Check it out. I was such a huge fan of those comic books when I was a kid, read them all several times.

I have a feeling they did it the right way, from what I've been reading about it from the makers and the cast, but yeah until we actually see the whole thing, who knows. The casting's pretty spot on at least.
Cinenaut	post #5  on May 17, 2011 - 4:48 PM PDT   Yeah, great cast! I was reading some blog that was expressing concerns about the uncanny valley effect, but I don't think that should be a problem with this.
