Realistic CG Critters and More!

So last night I met up with a bunch of folks at a friend's place. We sat around watching a few episodes of Freakazoid, then went to go watch "The Chronicles of Narnia" as one big group. It was loads of fun!

The movie was amazing. I don't think I've ever seen more realistic CG animals in my life. The story was also enjoyable, though the movie could have benefited from a bit faster pacing in some places. I just couldn't believe how good the animals looked; the facial moments when speaking looked incredibly realistic! One thought that came to me is that they could theoretically remake "The Lion King" in this sort of "live-action" and it would actually look good! (Though actually this would be a bad idea, Disney, so if you are reading, don't try it. };) )

After the movie, we returned and watched a couple more episodes of Freakazoid (duhhhhhhhhhh I am Mo-Ron!) for good measure. I miss cartoons like that; they managed to be funny without having to resort entirely to shock factor and gross-out (like South Park and Drawn Together).

And that's a wrap!
