This image of Jim Carrey as Scrooge reminds me of a dying old person at a retirement home. You visit them each day, but they keep on living, which feels like forever. Those eyes of death piercing through your soul as the face of an old man marvels at your youth.

While I don’t get the point or motion capturing Tom Hanks to make an animated character that looks just like Tom Hanks, I like this example and can see this being used a lot more often if it comes out all right.

This was you can get a great actor that may not fit physically to the roles you are shooting (age weight, race, etc.) and get their level of performance without heavy makeup or CG editing (like the de-ageing of Patrick Stewart)

here’s hoping they finally figure out how to get the eyes right. I don’t have much problems with the whole uncanny vally thing. It’s just the eyes that need some work, thought they got a lot better in Beowulf then Polar Express where they were terrible. So cross fingers.
