Out of all the delays and moves that's happened today, this is the one that's saddened me the most. I was looking forward to this being a Christmas film. I hope everything is going okay with this film, and that it's able to be a surprise hit like Peter Rabbit was.

The CGI looks good, but it also looks very CGI.

 

Until you see the trailer in theaters and realize "oh shit"

I actually thought it was going to be fully animated, but it looks promising.

The dog looks slightly off, I am assuming it's a mix of a real dog and CGI

Looks good but with today's technology they could have did a way better job the CGI dog. Looks like the same ctia used for Alvin and the Chipmunks and Peter Rabbit .Hope this is as good as Alpha.

IIRC, the dog's done in motion capture, played by the guy who played Kong in Skull Island

The CGI on the dog is reminding me of live-action Scooby-Doo.

First thing that came to mind was this dog's animation would be great in a Homeward Bound remake.

I don't see why they needed a CGI dog for the whole movie. Laziness at its finest.

I don't know what you think CGI is but this requires vastly more work than having a limited trained dog.

[MCKillswitch123]

I don't understand the need for a CGI dog. Can someone explain this to me? Wouldn't it be easier, cheaper and way better to have a real dog?

[AniNate]

Haven't watched the trailer and not real familiar with the story, but I tend to sympathize with artistic decisions that prevent real animals from having to be used.

Definitely the movie of February!

 

No competition whatsoever. Such a barren month this year...

If it's just a fun adventure movie they have sort of missed the whole point of the Jack London  novel...and...

Spoiler

The novel does not have a happy ending.

I find myself wondering how much of an adventure epic this is going to be vs. a poignant man/dog friendship story. Admittedly I haven't read the novel but from. There's something about the trailer that just isn't selling me on the epic adventure part, even if that aspect is in plain view in said trailer. I don't know, just having doubts for whatever reason.
