Well, I will be the one to admit it..I still cry when I watch Bambi...

There is a lot to be said for the human face and expresion...I mean, it is one thing to look at T-Rex and say WOW !!! That thing looks real! And when Yoda does his thing, believe he might be a little guy out thre in the universe somewhere playing sage to a bunch of swashbucklers. Gollum was easy to believe because who knows what a gollum is actually like IRL ?.....But when you see 'From Here to Eternity" then compare that with 'Final Fantasy', ther is NO comparison.

You swoon at your silver screen hearthrobs rather they can act or not, but I just cant see being stirred on that level by a puppet, no matter how well it is crafted. I know some people disagree. I know some who are so involved with anime or PC characters that they have devoloped fetishes for them but when it boils down to it, CAG characters are 'CLAYMATION' . I dont think there is a real danger of them replacing real actors.
