Where Art Imitates Life

Computer animation must be getting better and better. My Mother in Law recently saw the new computer animated film Polar Express with the voice of Tom Hanks. Her comment was "It's amazing that Tom Hanks played 5 of the roles in that film and some of them didn't even look like him. He even played a little boy, but it looked like he had some kind of weird rubber mask on". I wanted so much to leave her in her own world of wonder but I just couldn't help breaking the news to her that it was an animated film.
