CGI Overusage?

Nevermind that the film version of Inspector Gadget used the voice of the REAL Inspector--Don Adams, may he R.I.P now--to voice Brain, instead of Gadget himself! And yes, as I have said, altering a show's basic premise ruins the show and angers its fanbase.

Your Right Don Adams did R.I.P! he died on September 25, 2005. as for the CGI thing I hope the Muppets would be involved around it as much as before.

Just as long as it doesn't diminish character, like Disney did to its own spokesmouse.

I will say (oddly enough) the CGI movie "Gadget's Biggest Case Ever" was pretty much the best thing we've seen out of the franchise to date (since that movie ruined any chance of a real researgence of the character).

But that Disney movie had "We couldn't care less" written all over it. I mean, there's no use reinventing a franchise if you p-o the fan base, all the while to get new fans who really don't even care.

Oh well... at least we got a bean bag out of it.

Even moreso that the Mouse House hired another NSYNC-like boy band in Youngstown to do their own rendition of the show's theme entitled I'll Be Your Everything (in the film itself, as part of the end credits, and as a "bonus" music video attached at the end).

CGI has become over used in my opinion. You see a battlefield flooded with 500 cgi soldiers and it all looks fake. You see a plane being brought down by a missle and it's totally fake and it doesn't look real, compared to the dinosaures in the first Jurassic Park film, or the effects in the Back To The Future movies, or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man walking down the streets of New York City in Ghostbusters.

Take a look at the last three Star Wars films, episodes 1, 2, and 3. So much over usage of computer animated graphics left a bad taste to people's mouths. Did George Lucas really need a lot of those scenes to be cgi?

I don't mind cgi as long as it is not over used, which sadly it is.

As for the animated movies that are all cgi now, I say go back to 2d animation. Nothing wrong with that. Many great cartoon movies were hand drawn. I think there are too many cgi animated movies now.

Starting with "Enchanted", I think Disney is starting to do just that.

Well, he thought he wanted it. Much like he thought he wanted to add a giant song and dance number in Star Wars episode 6... and all that. But for me it wasn't so much the CGI that left a bad taste in my mouth as the writing and wooden acting.

Are you referring to "Enchanted" (which uses aspects from classic movie formulas to create something uniquely new)? That movie use live-action and actual animation, not CGI.
