Favorite CGI Characters List

By Josh Tyler: 2007-07-19 04:34:06
Favorite CGI Characters List Everybody loves a good list. Unfortunately, Entertainment Weekly has come up with an awful one. They’ve just published a list of their top ten favorite CGI characters. Number 10 is Casper, and that alone is a big enough “wtf” that it pretty much devalues everything on the list that follows it, all on its own. I mean, with a choice like that you’d half expect number one to be Jar Jar.

The list never quite gets Jar Jar bad, but it’s pretty bad. They do get Gollum in there at number 3, but then they throw in characters like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park and Bumblebee in Transformers or Sandman in Spider-Man 3 which weren’t even entirely CGI. I mean, last I checked Thomas Hayden Church was a real, flesh and blood person. He’s not animated folks!

I’ve seen a lot of bad lists, but this is one of the worst. Pick just about any Pixar character and they’d qualify to replace at least half of these picks all on their own. I mean, Davy Jones? I thought we’d all gotten together and agreed those damn Pirates sequels suck, but we go see them anyway out of a sense of duty. Number 2? Really??? That’s the best they could come up with? How about something more than a decade or so old? The MCP in Tron for instance, one of the real pioneers. Hell, even the Hulk in Ang Lee’s Hulk is more deserving of a place up there than frickin Yoda, a pale imitation of a much superior puppet character. Lists just don’t get much more awful than this. Here’s their full ten picks, to read their lame explanations for such terrible choices, go here.

10. Casper, Casper the Friendly Ghost
9. T-Rex, Jurassic Park
8. Sandman, Spider-Man 3
7. Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story
6. T-1000, Terminator 2
5. Yoda, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith
4. Bumblebee, Transformers
3. Gollum, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
2. Davy Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean
1. King Kong, King Kong
