Who cares? If they work well together, which they do, it shouldn't matter at all.

I don't think it's possible to express how much I want this movie to get green-lighted. I can't say that I adore the first film (I'm sorry, but Jim Carrey was completely wrong, and I had problems with a few of the other actors cast), but I am an enormous fan of the books, and they deserve a second chance.

Also, stop-motion would do nothing but help the already 'creepy' gothic tone and feel of the books!
