Terry Gilliam once said of photo real animation:
"When you're now taking what should be films full of people, living thinking, breathing, flawed creatures and you're controlling every moment of that, it's just death to me. It's death to cinema, I can't watch those Star Wars films, they`re dead things"
Perhaps Mocap is more organic, but I still find it takes my eyes a while to adjust to any film I've seen done that way - it still looks rather odd to see something lifeless prance round as a bewitched doll.

it's just a new form of puppetry
and that in itself is real people putting their input in (be it mocap or hand animated).
Quite odd coming from a man of his background :D
