“You take the meanest man alive and show him the error of his ways…and we get to come along for the ride.”
That quote is from the director of an animated version of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," produced in 2009. Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn and other well-known actors star in this motion capture, or performance capture, film.
"For the actors, it’s a fascinating process with no costumes, no physical makeup and very little as far as sets. Carrey and the rest of the cast had their work cut out for them in their efforts to become the characters. “A lot of people think that these movies are just voice-over work,” says Carrey, “but they feature complete performances by actors.”
Just saw it for the first time, now it's my favorite.
