I think you are the only person I've seen saying those characters hit uncanny valley. They are very cartoonish.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I too have heard great things about the movie, but there's something about the animation that bothers me. I'm not sure I can sit through the whole thing in the theater - I might just wait for it to hit digital video.

It's not uncanny valley for me - I think it's too animated for that - but there's definitely something off about it.

same, there's something about it that makes me uncomfortable. the commercials made it look, idk, jerky? not very smooth. the kind of animation that looks very delightfully artsy for short form but if you sit through an hour and half of it you start feeling jittery.

it's very hard to explain what feels off about it, but you're right, it feels off.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
DA.

I feel the same. The animators reduced the framerate, which gives it that choppy/jerky/janky look in motion. It sets my teeth on edge, because I notice it and it pulls me out of the story.

People seem to love that reduced framerate...and it just happens to be the same people who gave The Dragon Prince crap for doing the same thing. Consistency is hard, I guess.

It *is* delightfully artsy. It's also, if you're sensitive to strobe effects, extremely difficult to watch in the theatre. Shrug.

The animation is very 'video game' with the cel-shading and way everyone moves.

It would be very good for a video game, and if that's the effect they're going for, great...but it is definitely video gamey.

I loved the art-style but I can get that it wouldn't be for everyone. I don't quite see how it's Uncanney-Valley though as they very much look like cartoons.

I think if it was yet another How to Train your Frozen Minions at Hotel Transylvania 3D film, I'd probably be bored.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
3D animation with multiple layers of render post-processing to emulate the style of hand-drawn comic book art (including dithering) isn't really uncanny valley.

It really isn't any more uncanny valley than your average Disney flic.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's style over realism and actually much less.

Apparently "uncanny valley" now just means "ugly"?

I have to say I did not dig the look of it from the promo material either, but you kinda have to see the movie to understand what the aesthetics are doing and I ended up liking it.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't call the animation uncanny valley but I understand not being able to get accustomed to it. When I went to see it, the animation made me feel a bit woozy and nauseous for about the first half hour. I eventually got used to it but I can definitely understand not being able to watch it.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it triggered a migraine for my friend, so it's definitely not for everyone just from a visual standpoint.

Non-headache-getting me, though, loved it.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I wanna see it, but I likely won't see it in theaters because the animation is so off-putting to me.

I’m not into that style of animation and it’s the main reason I haven’t watched it yet. Though I probably will eventually.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
The deleted frames that make it look jerky like a stop motion animation are terrible, but that’s not what uncanny valley means

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
This was the most visually arresting (and plaid old pretty) animated Hollywood flick I have seen in years.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-09 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see how OP could find them uncannny valleyesque? But all the same I sympathise. I have a similar experience with a popular and much-loved kids tv show that I *tried* to watch, but the voice acting was so not to my taste I couldnt get through it. Not bad, just... Not what I had been imagining looking at gifsets and reading spoilers. So Ive never watched it.

My loss, apparently, bc nowadays if you haven't watched Avatar: the Last Airbender people flip tf out on you
