I've been looking for an excuse to post this.Tyger Tyger, burning bright!
Here! Steady on young lady! I'm having visions of Queen (with Freddie Mercury as Mowgli) breaking into the soundtrack....
I'm the opposite. I hate films that abuse CGI (*glares at the Star Wars prequels and the ineffable abominations that are The Hobbit films*); I'm far more impressed by films that know how and when to use props, puppets, and models (*gives due credit to Abrams for The Force Awakens, even if the plot and acting were middling*). I may have quibbles with them regarding tone and interpretations, but the details in the props, sets, and costumes in the Lord of the Rings films never fail to take my breath away.Oh wow. I just finished watching The Jungle Book. Other than Mowgli ... it was all CGI?!? That's like ... incredible. I wanna live in CGI!

Like I said, their attention to detail in props and sets never fails to take my breath away. If only they'd paid the same attention to the plot.One of the coolest things I think about that, was that they specially wove the fabrics to have different sized weaves. So the hobbits clothes had very large weave in the fabric, but with the effects used to make the actors looks smaller, it meant the size of the weave looked correct.
And yes, I think there is a tendency to over use CGI. It's great for certain things, but it can be really overused. I actually sometimes think it's the worst in Superhero movies. Although the animators have gotten better about adding weight to CGI characters, so often their movements looks rubbery and to light (and I'm not talking about Mr. Fantastic).
WOW! A tiger at long last! Should be worth waiting for.The Tiger will have to come after the Lion, but we certainly intend to make one.
