" Wesley Morris and we are actually human beings here to talk about the digital motion capture of a Christmas Carol. Yes Jim -- movie dismiss -- two months early. Age is creeping back into next year I guarantee you a movie like this. Open -- and August. August 3 the slain need to season will be over by Thanksgiving so that's. So this is this is the new Robert Zemeckis full motion capture. Actor's films and digitized and put into digitized landscapes. And that's and -- it would polar express which was a movie that chilled my blood and it looked like the best mannequins and playing with the network's latest version version one when he went down this of this and genre of this style of filming style and -- tripping is where they both came out of this this meeting for Christmas Carol surrounded by a fellow critics who are all just. Jumping on it yeah. And I really don't know it's gotten in and Robert -- well should I wish he would make used cars again and we went into. And Christmas Carol expecting another polar express and reading it I was really looking forward to it really wouldn't -- nicely surprise and here's the thing. Jim -- Unlike pretty much any other. Person on earth I think with the possible exception of marriage."

" I now right now. Press mentions that I would never imagined winning color ever -- OK. I. Think heat is somebody who while I won't he can do anything he'll try to do in the and when his version of Ebenezer Scrooge is on screen right you don't wanna look at anything. No you don't and and I didn't he's not doing the -- he's not not tactics to keep itself. It's a real firm plans just character yeah he he moves in this. Really beautiful. Delicate -- old and decrepit kind of way and everything -- you're looking at his face and that's not his it's bone structure is under this. Did you guys think that's true for all the characters you see there fit well in -- had okay Gary Coleman's face on a different body -- really weird but. It also works in the context of this. I think they were smart and choosing -- own pay 819 century tale because it's easy to sort of create that visual world that does feel. Almost passed yet an old fashioned in a way that if you try to tell modern -- wouldn't work quite as hell and also from me it's finally proves. I understand now why Robert Zemeckis -- it has been assessed for this technology for ten years to the point where he's basically. Thrown his earlier career away and wants to make this work and based on polar express was thinking what are you doing Bob get back to what -- now but this is the one that finally. At least proves that there's something there and it's not CGI. And it's not animation and it's not real you know like action. It's something in between starts jumping nearly and I don't know what it'll be but at least get a glimpse of it in business it's it's very nice -- that's Christmas."

" time to Robert I'm with Sinorice."

“…selfish way -- you were more concerned about our reputation. And our priests were outside your -- we don't have to answer to what the rest of the world has to.
