Thoughts?
Do you feel that way about animated characters taking major roles in full length films? Because that's been going on since the 1930s; possibly even earlier, though I haven't heard or seen examples before that. I can't say that any of it bothers me much, because some aspect of these characters, at least, however they're presented, remains human in order to be understood by the audience. In fact, some of the machines and animated characters have decidedly more personality and better acting skills than some actors I could name, not that I would ever mention William Shatner or anyone else. Of course.
