I didn&#8217;t quite enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

I wished the motion capture was more &#8220;anime-like&#8221;. A lot of it looked &#8220;captured&#8221; and almost too realistic for the anime-feel of the movie. Jason mentioned something about the toon shade renderer used in the movie, but I didn&#8217;t notice anything aweful, just some bad hue choices in a few scenes.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago I also saw <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/redirect?link_code=ur2&#038;tag=poweratom-20&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB000CDGVOE%2Fqid%3D1135107890%2Fsr%3D11-1%2Fref%3Dsr_11_1%3Fn%3D130\">Howl&#8217;s Moving Castle<\/a> with Grace. I think <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hayao_Miyazaki\" target=\"_blank\">Hayao Miyazaki<\/a> definitely makes Grace chuckle more than most of the anime directors I like. As much as she enjoyed Howl&#8217;s Moving Castle, I think she still prefers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/redirect?link_code=ur2&#038;tag=poweratom-20&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;path=tg%2Fdetail%2F-%2FB00005JLEU%2Fqid%3D1135108099%2Fsr%3D1-1%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fv%3Dglance%2526s%3Ddvd\">Spirited Away<\/a> and, of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/redirect?link_code=ur2&#038;tag=poweratom-20&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;path=tg%2Fdetail%2F-%2FB0001XAQ0A%2Fqid%3D1135108148%2Fsr%3D1-2%2Fref%3Dsr_1_2%3Fv%3Dglance%2526s%3Ddvd\">Totoro<\/a>.
