Why I think video games of today ruined animation movies...

    We are both correct actually. I just looked it up. While Disney has created drawn animation movies in the last couple of years (the two you mentioned being examples) they utilize digital animation for everything other than the characters. They no longer completely paint/draw the movies 100%, however.

    Well . . . i think alot of voices can be simulated like looks can.
    Also . . . . once it becomes common place the price may drop out of it

    Where have you seen/heard any simulated voices that are even close to being normal? In games, movies, or anything for that matter.

    Animation is not near to being perfect yet.
    Does not mean it won't happen
    Once they focus on a particular thing . . .they make it happen

    Visually, sure. But where have you seen digitally created, non-actor enhanced voice done... at all.

    Perhaps total work staff can get cut own. From say 40 general actors down to 10. Digitize the lesser actors. Movies already don't need thousands of extras, they can replicate street walkers and big crowds.

    But if people still value REAL LIFE connections to real people, then people will feel more emotionally attached to a REAL actor person.

    People like "Harrison Ford AS Indiana Jones", they don't mind Harrison Ford acting in character. Its cool to have the CHARACTER Indiana Jones all to itself not connected to a real person. But people want to buy Indiana Jones a beer if they see him out around town, cant do that with CGI.

    I can see that with the TRULY epic sagas like Star Wars or Star Trek that won't ever get lived down. Forget trying to make up all new stories set in different times with different generations cuz the original cast is too old and you HAVE to. Forget Hayden Christiansen butchering up Vader. Just recreate the original people. Not just puppet Yoda into CGI Yoda - EVERYBODY.

    Simply... if people are accepting of simulated actors AND voices, probably means people are already living in virtual realities.

    Because I think even fictional stories needs SOME element of the world we know in it. If NONE of the characters follow ANY of the REAL life physics and life/death laws you live in, it means we don't care about the ways of OUR world anymore. And we're all full time weirdo Asian anime fans.

    Or it means there really is no such thing as an actor in the first place, it means its all animation.

    I don't see in our lifetimes having electronic voices to match ALL real life voice inflections perfectly. I don't see e-voices being that nuanced.

    The only way I see it is if a "voice conductor" will sit at an electronic voice device thats like a VOCODOR and he controls EVERY SINGLE VOICE inflection of dialogue. He dials voice tones up and down to suit the sound he wants lol.
