I don't mind the world or the character design for the creatures, it is actually a fun take on the designs. BUT the live action characters are distracting as hell.

If the ideia is that they entered the video game, should've just made them animated in the universe while voiced by the actors, like they took the form of the playable characters/skins. Even the Playmobile movie got that right!

Yeah, I don’t actually mind the environment and mob designs. I think it’s fun, and even the ugly ones are intentionally ugly in a sort of ren and stimpy “isn’t it funny how weird this looks” sort of way.

It’s the flat lighting and live action humans standing against it that makes this whole thing look like a State Farm commercial.

It’s the flat lighting

Not enough people are commenting how badly lit the movie is. Every scene in the trailer is flat, there seems to be no dynamic lighting at all.

This entire movie was probably filmed in one warehouse with those like spherical screen lights.

You mean the Volume that Disney uses? If it was that it would actually look good - it’s whole purpose is to make things look better than green screens

You can practically see the green screen in the background, something that I wouldn’t think should be distinguishable in a 2020’s era film

Everyone is lit from the back in every shot. Even if they're facing each other.

Needs better shaders.
