I know what you mean. :\ I don't feel a lot out ~*OUTRAGE*~ at the casting like I know a lot of people do, but I do think it's pretty lame. Though Jesse McCartney would have been hilarious and if the movie sucks I'll probably be sad that they didn't cast him, just because I'd rather have funny!fail than just plain... fail!fail.
I honestly would much rather have seen new animated movies as opposed to just a live-action retelling, but eh. They're gonna do what they're gonna do, so.
