You really are something. You have such a great way of being insulting... without really being insulting. You have a way of stating your opinions, as if they are fact and nobody should question them, but in a way where you can always backtrack and say, "I never said that."

I still don't see a point being made.  This is an animated film and the rule is fairly clear when it comes to animated films.  That is my opinion...if you have something to counter that, please do so otherwise what was your point?  If you find my pointing out that you didn't make a point insulting, well, not much I can do about that.

Your avatar is perfect. I mean, absolutely perfect. For the majority of the posts you make, that is the exact expression that I truly believe you have; even if it isn't, it is the perfect expression to accompany them.

I find this quite funny considering the source.

The lines between "real life acting" and "virtual acting" are getting more and more blurred, making this all the more difficult to judge ... but I'm still gonna have to go with voice acting.

Ideally, we would check "voice acting" and "motion capture acting" (if we had the option), but perhaps that would be going too far into detail? 

Thanks to all for your input on this subject 

And thanks to CharlieM for the rule reminder... I really did not remember this 

So until a rule change I'll stick with voice cast for the online and standard cast for my local db in such cases.

Your opinion and welcome to it, I don't share it.

Is The Adventures of Tintin an animated film?  If yes, per the rules, you must "use the "Voice" checkbox."  I honestly don't see how you can interpret the rule any other way. 

I really don't understand the debate going on here. Tintin is an animated film. You don't actually believe that the characters depicted in the film are actual people do you .

Motion Capture has been in use since the late 70s. Why has this all of a sudden become a big issue?

The cast in this film, just like all other animated films, get a voice credit. The rules are quite clear.

So all cast in Beowulf and The Polar Express get marked with voice? Much cast in Avatar also just voice? Andy Serkins as Gollum or as Ceasar? (I think he was also just motion-captured in both movies)

Why should we make a difference for a cast-member of a completely animated movie and a cast-member for a mixed movie?
Just because of some wording in the rules? I really don't think this is as what of the "voice" flag is thought. And a really can't imagine it is thought it should be used like this.

Sad for the actors doing a great acting, but just getting a voice role in DVDP.

How is it misrepresented? The characters in the film are animated are they not? The actors supplied the voices for the characters in the film, did they not? Animation = Voice Credit. Cast List = Voice Credit. Whether or not the cast credits say Voices ot Voice Talents of, etc. is irrelevant. The film is animated not live action.
