Yep, Beowulf / Shrek people are creepy.
Bambi notwithstanding, the point of character animation is not to duplicate the look of actual creatures. (Even Bambi's animals were highly stylized).

I think I'll watch
Cloverfield tonight and see if the jittery camerawork holds up on the small screen.
Heheh, I also just bought
There Will Be Blood ... mostly to piss off Gemini Cricket.
I actually didn't buy the cheapy slimline package, which I agree is craptacular. I wonder if GC has the same opinion of the 2 disc set, which is also less lasting cardboard instead of plastic. I compared it with my other purchase, the
Cloverfield disc ... which used the standard plastic DVD case with a simple cover insert. The end.
The
Blood packaging, on the other hand, featured nice art direction, a fold-out package with imagery from the film on multiple panels. Yes, the materials were more flimsy. But I'd rather have packaging that has some design intention, rather than the slapped together DVD case I can make at home.
Sorry, G.C.
