Live action / animation hybrids have always worked better in small doses, & this commercial illustrates something I tried to articulate in my Superman commentary, which is that when you see Superman in his native cartoon form, your brain accepts him *as Superman* more you ever could any actor... show more

Wait minute, Superman...

Patrick Warburton saying "Lois" doesn't make me think Lois Lane.

Patrick Warburton should be the default voice for Superman.

Can't wait for your video, but I have a question. Do you think this applies to "mixed media" as well? Like if you had a clay character interacting with a 2D hand drawn character, do your criticisms of "live action/animation" come into play? Or no since both are animated?

No, as you'll see in the vid my criticisms are aimed at films which came after Roger Rabbit which tried to imitate it in the most superficial way - "Look, a famous cartoon character with a familiar actor!" - & this applies not just to the more obvious ripoffs but basically the whole subgenre of live action films which adapt cartoons by using pseudo-realistic CG characters, like Alvin and the Chipmunks

Oh Yes Wyoming! still pops in my head from time to time.

Ok does film like smurf count then yeah I guess I can see what you mean

1738?

Is that Patrick Warburton???? AS SUPERMAN???? AND IT WORKS????????

Nah, he still just sounds like Puddy. I was always annoyed by the woman they cast as Lois. Pretty frumpy looking.
