You realize the last time Zemeckis did this (The Polar Express) that Tom Hanks played 6 roles?? The boy, father, hobo, santa claus, scroogs and the conductor. It seems odd that you would leave that out of your article. We're talking the same writer/director and the same type of film, 3D motion capture.

Since this type of motion capture failed to enchant in the past I do not understand. why they are trying it again. Unless it is a Hollywood conspiracy to get the the public to accept movies without real people in them and thus do away with actors all together!!!

who cares, all of Jim Carreys movies for the last decade have pretty much stunk. Articles like this should have some sort of Paid Advertisement disclaimer because that is basically what it is.
