User blog comment:A Heroic Smurf/Opinion Poll: Smurfs: The Lost Village (Hopes & Fears)/@comment-1323688-20170315201751

My worst fear with this film is making it too much like the comic books visually, with everything appearing too garish and bright and plasticky that it resembles something like the CGI Mickey Mouse cartoon shows on TV, or even worse, low-rent CGI cartoon productions. So far, though, it does appear to make the best use of both colors and contrast. It's still not exactly something I would use in its entirety for the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf series, at least with the Smurf character models, because the point of my series is basically to have the Smurfs appear real enough to give the audience the same initial sense of uneasiness as Empath felt when he first saw the Smurfs after being taught how they are such "savage creatures".
