Line #84 CreatorThumbprint/LiveActionFilms


1	CreatorThumbprint in {{Film}}s.
2	----
3	%%* In the days of silent films, studios used to hide their names in the set to guard against other studios stealing the scenes for their own films (and to defend against false accusations of doing it themselves).
4	* Creator/JJAbrams will name something after his Grandpa Kelvin, such as the USS ''Kelvin'' in ''Film/StarTrek2009'' and Kelvin Ridge in ''Film/TheForceAwakens''. He also has a marked fondness for lens flare.
5	* Creator/WesAnderson has a style so specific to him and him alone that ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' joked that he was essentially "his own genre." Hallmarks of a Wes Anderson film include, but are not limited to:
6	** Perfectly symmetrical shots where the camera is at a right angle to the action (facing it straight-on or in profile)
7	** A muted pastel color palette
8	** A BittersweetEnding
9	** and {{Whip Pan}}s.
10	* Creator/JuddApatow's films feature a lot of {{Improv}}, {{Manchild}} and {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s, VulgarHumor, and pop culture references.
11	* Creator/DarioArgento
12	** His films usually have protagonists who are involved in the arts or some creative profession and are foreigners.
13	** Creator/JessicaHarper in ''Film/Suspiria1977'' and Creator/JenniferConnelly in ''Film/{{Phenomena}}'' are based on Creator/Disney's Snow White.
14	* Most of the films that Creator/DarrenAronofsky has made so far have an underlying theme to the plot of the main character (or a main character) going on a path of self-destruction because of an obsession (finding proof of his theory on ''Film/{{Pi}}'', becoming a flawless dancer on ''Film/BlackSwan'', drugs on ''Film/RequiemForADream'', returning to the ring on ''Film/TheWrestler'', etc.).
15	* Creator/MichaelBay:
16	** [[StuffBlowingUp EXPLOSIONS!]]
17	** A MotionParallax.
18	** Planes or helicopters flying into the sunset or while surrounded by one.
19	** [[PatrioticFervor Patriotism]] or [[AmericaSavesTheDay military]] [[BackedByThePentagon porn]].
20	* Creator/LucBesson
21	** [[InvincibleHero Nigh-invincible]] [[ActionHero action heroes]].
22	** Strong, kickass [[ActionGirl Action Girls]] dressed in [[{{Stripperific}} skimpy clothing]].
23	** TheBadGuysAreCops, PoliceAreUseless, or even BadCopIncompetentCop for his depictions of law enforcement in his movies.
24	* Creator/ShaneBlack:
25	** There is NoFourthWall.
26	** He ''loves'' Christmas, to the point it becomes AnAsskickingChristmas.
27	** Many (if not all) of his characters carry [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolvers]], including [[Film/LethalWeapon Roger Murtaugh]] and [[Film/TheNiceGuys Holland March]].
28	** [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs Home attacks]].
29	** On that topic, a SupervillainLair which is often the site of either ColdBloodedTorture or StormingTheCastle.
30	* Creator/MatthewBright uses lurid violence, {{Serial Killer}}s, strong profanity, and hard-edged satire seen in his films ''Film/{{Freeway}}'' and ''Bundy''.
31	* Creator/MelBrooks puts plenty of [[GagPenis penis jokes]] in his movies: ''Film/YoungFrankenstein'', ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', ''{{Film/Spaceballs}}'', and ''especially'' the musical remake of ''Film/TheProducers'' (which, admittedly, he didn't actually direct). Also, his use of Nazis as walking punching bags (he ''is'' Jewish, after all).
32	* Chris Buck
33	** It's not one of his movies until at least two parents meet ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} horrible]]'', '''[[WesternAnimation/SurfsUp horrible]]''', '''''[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 horrible]]''''' deaths.
34	** He also seems to enjoy PluckyComicRelief characters who are [[BlackComedy blissfully unaware of the things that could kill them]], such as [[WesternAnimation/SurfsUp Chicken Joe]] and [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Olaf]].
35	* Creator/TimBurton has a few:
36	** His films contain strange hands -- severed hands, mutilated hands, [[ArtificialLimbs prosthetic hands]], gloved hands, and artistic representations of hands -- in far greater proportion than is common. The only remotely sexual connotation attaches to the leather-glove fetishism in ''Batman'' (both Jack Napier and Max Shreck favor dapper black gloves, and both exhibit sexual and/or sadistic attitudes toward the film's heroine). ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' uses the lyric "bony fingers" three times.
37	** Burton also likes German Expressionist cinema (Johnny Depp LooksLikeCesare in over half of Burton's films), which is a visible influence of his work. Sometimes he admits this, like how Christopher Walken's character in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' is named "[[Film/{{Nosferatu}} Max Schreck]]". This also feeds into his lower-level fixation with [[GothSpirals spirals]]. Spiral hair, spiral feathers, spiral coattails, spiral plants, spiral embroidery... maybe he eats a lot of curly fries or something. And stripes. Especially on snakes.
38	** [[MonsterClown Scary clowns]], dark woods, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking tile floors]]...
39	** Burton seems to have a thing for dogs, as there are some dropped into every one of his movies at some point. ''WesternAnimation/{{Frankenweenie}}'' (both versions) even has a dog as the main character!
40	** A theme that comes up in almost all his films is that of parents separated in some way from their children. This is either because a family gets split up due to mass chaos (''Film/MarsAttacks''), the main character is an orphan (both ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' films), the character really ''should'' have parents but doesn't (''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure'', ''Film/EdwardScissorhands'')... but most commonly because the character has major Parental Issues (''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'', ''Film/BatmanReturns'', ''[[Film/SleepyHollow1999 Sleepy Hollow]]'', ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', and to a lesser extent ''Film/MarsAttacks''). Interestingly, ''Film/BigFish'' outright has this as the movie's theme, and it's arguably Burton's attempt to come to terms with it and for once depict a normal and loving (if troubled) family, possibly in the wake of his father's death from cancer.
41	* ''Franchise/StarWars'' sound tech Creator/BenBurtt is the driving force of the resurgent popularity of the WilhelmScream.
42	* Creator/JamesCameron has his distinctive shots of feet, [[ActionGirl female protagonists]] and the presence or imminent threat of nuclear weapons (except ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'', for obvious reasons) in his films. He's also got a huge interest for the ocean; while this is less apparent in his fiction work (though this one ''does'' include ''Titanic'', again for obvious reasons), his documentary work heavily revolves around this subject.
43	* Creator/FrankCapra and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_%28raven%29 Jimmy The Raven]].
44	* Creator/TheCoenBrothers
45	** They seem obsessed with hair, or at any rate like to portray characters who are, and/or characters with bizarre or terrible haircuts. Also, every film will feature at least a few of the following: someone vomiting, a bellowing fat man (usually played by Creator/JohnGoodman), and an ImplacableMan who seems to be the AnthropomorphicPersonification of pure evil.
46	** They are also fond of: regional accents, scenes with dogs, failed kidnappings, a BriefcaseFullOfMoney, powerful men behind desks, and shots of walking feet.
47	** Less obvious but nonetheless notable, at least seven of their films feature a car wreck where one of the main characters is the driver or did something to cause the wreck.
48	** Almost all of their films are set in the past...even if it's the ''very'' recent past, and the time period has no impact on the plot. Though several of their films are straightforward period pieces (''Film/OBrotherWhereArtThou'' is set during TheGreatDepression, ''Film/BartonFink'' is set in 1941, ''Film/HailCaesar'' is set in 1951, ''Film/TheHudsuckerProxy'' is set in 1958, etc.), others are a bit stranger. ''Film/TheBigLebowski'' came out in 1998, but takes place during UsefulNotes/{{the Gulf War}} in 1991; ''Film/{{Fargo}}'' came out in 1996, but takes place in 1987; and ''Film/NoCountryForOldMen'' came out in 2007, but takes place in 1980.
49	** They ''really'' love to {{homage}} [[TheWestern Westerns]] and FilmNoir (sometimes both at once, as in ''Film/TheBigLebowski'' and ''Film/HailCaesar''). Between films like ''Film/NoCountryForOldMen'', ''Film/TrueGrit'' and ''Film/TheBalladOfBusterScruggs'', they've done almost every flavor of Western imaginable, and they've covered nearly every corner of the SlidingScaleOfSeriousnessVersusSilliness. Ditto for films like ''Film/MillersCrossing'', ''Film/BloodSimple'' and ''Film/{{Fargo}}'', which do the same for noir.
50	* As a boy, Creator/WesCraven was bullied by a kid named [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Fred Krueger]]. Before this name became attached to Craven's most iconic baddie, his earlier film ''Film/TheLastHouseOnTheLeft'' contains a villainous rapist named Krug.
51	* Screenwriter/director Richard Curtis seems to have a thing for Americans. Aside from the ''Literature/BridgetJones'' films, which were adapted from another medium and were a collaboration with several other writers, every theatrically released film he's ever written has been a British comedy featuring at least one American character, though that may be due to the UK cinematic convention of having an inexplicable American in the cast to coax the US market. Ironically in ''Film/LoveActually'' he has the British prime minister played by Hugh Grant gives an epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the American President played by Billy Bob Thornton.
52	* Films by the prolific Warner Bros. director Creator/MichaelCurtiz (''Film/{{Casablanca}}'') usually included at least one shot where the characters are offscreen and seen only through their silhouettes on a wall.
53	* The films of Creator/GuillermoDelToro always include slime, aspects of ClockPunk (or at least, clocks), things in jars (often PeopleJars), and references to Roman Catholicism. The supernatural and monsters of any sort are extremely common, and he's also greatly interested in the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar.
54	* Creator/GarethEdwards has had monsters with tentacles appear in all of his films except for ''Film/Godzilla2014'', where the tentacles were ''planned'' for the enemy monsters but abandoned at the concept stage.
55	* Creator/ColemanFrancis
56	** [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Coffee?]] [[Film/TheSkydivers He loves coffee!]]
57	** Light aircraft and vigilantism.
58	* Creator/MelGibson:
59	** If he is starring in a film, chances are his character will like dogs.
60	** The characters he plays display Catholic tendencies.
61	** His attachment to a film (actor, director, or otherwise) does tend to suggest the presence of torture and suffering. In front of the camera, you have ''Film/MadMax'' and the hacksaw; ''Film/LethalWeapon'' and the electric sponges in the shower; lots of ''Film/ConspiracyTheory''; ''Film/{{Payback}}''; and the end of ''Film/{{Braveheart}}''. On the other side of the lens, there's some in ''Film/{{Apocalypto}}'', and there's ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist''.
62	** On that note, {{Gorn}}. This is seen a plentiful in ''The Passion Of The Christ'' and ''Apocalypto''.
63	* All of Creator/JohnGlen's ''Film/JamesBond'' movies feature DisturbedDoves and a BatScare.
64	* Creator/AlfredHitchcock would [[CreatorCameo appear]] as a bystander in all of his films. When he found out that people would watch the films for his cameo and get distracted from the story, he started making his appearance in the first few minutes. There's other stuff, too, like [[DisneyVillainDeath villains dying from falling from great heights]], tall 'cool' blondes, and the MacGuffin.
65	* Creator/PeterJackson likes to leave a distinct mark on his projects.
66	** The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Minor Morris Minor]] or one of its variants appears in most of the director's early films.
67	** He has a penchant for shooting close-ups with very wide-angle lenses.
68	** {{Gorn}} played for [[BloodyHilarious laughs]] as much as [[BloodyHorror drama]].
69	** His productions base the creature design of creepy-crawlies and monsters on the native wildlife of his home country, New Zealand.
70	** Transparent Green Ghosts that look like half-mummified corpses.
71	** His favourite film is ''Film/KingKong1933'', and he works references to it in his other movies.
72	** It wouldn't be a Jackson film without a Main/CreatorCameo from the director himself, his children, and frequent recurring actor, Jed Brophy.
73	* Creator/DuncanJones is apparently a big fan of the song "The One and Only" by Chesney Hawkes.
74	** In ''Film/{{Moon}}'' Sam's alarm clock plays it.
75	** In ''Film/SourceCode'' it's Christina's ringtone.
76	** A DeletedScene in ''Film/{{Warcraft}}'' had Hawkes himself as a minstrel, playing a medieval-fantasy version.
77	** In ''Film/Mute2018'' it's used as videogame music.
78	* Creator/JosephKosinski, director of ''Film/TronLegacy'', ''Film/TopGunMaverick'' and ''Film/{{Oblivion\| 2013}}'', is a graduate and adjunct professor in architecture; this can be observed in the designs of the buildings and other materials in the worlds of those films which are all very carefully thought out.
79	* Creator/StanleyKubrick
80	** He liked filming [[http://kubrickfilms.tripod.com/id35.html bathroom scenes]], often in connection with character death.
81	** CRM-114 shows up a bunch.
82	** Kubrick was also fond of doing TheOner in most of his films.
83	** So many Kubrick films contain the "head down, eyes up" pose, that he's the TropeNamer for KubrickStare.
84	* Most films directed by Creator/JohnLandis (with the notable exception of ''Film/AnimalHouse'') feature the phrase "See You Next Wednesday." Even the Music/MichaelJackson "Music/{{Thriller}}" video incorporates it in background dialogue.
85	* Creator/SpikeLee loves his [[InCameraEffects Dolly Shots.]] His very first use of it was in ''School Daze'' but it wasn't until ''Film/MoBetterBlues'' that we see the one that he is more renowned for.
86	* Creator/StanLee appears in every movie based on one of his {{Super Hero}}es. This carries over to cartoons and video games like ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' where he appears running a restaurant MJ and Peter eat at. Sadly, after his death in 2018, he only had a handful of pre-recorded cameos left before this trend stopped completely.
87	* It seems that the neo-noir nightclub-like lighting of ''Film/JohnWick'' was producer (and uncredited co-director) Creator/DavidLeitch's idea, as the man's directorial efforts to date have an abundance of scenes being lit by neon lights.
88	* Creator/GeorgeLucas
89	** Every movie he creates features the number 1138 at some point, as homage to his first film, ''Film/THX1138''.
90	** Most have at least one scene with a speeding vehicle (''Film/THX1138'', ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'', ''Franchise/StarWars'' movies, ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', etc.). Though this may have less to do with AuthorAppeal and more to do with the majority of his films being action films, where speeding vehicles can be expected.
91	** The number 327 is also frequently encountered, although it's not clear why. One theory is that Lucas' first car was a Chevy 327.
92	* Creator/DavidLynch
93	** He seems to really enjoy scenes of women singing. There's the Lady in the Radiator from ''Film/{{Eraserhead}}'', Dorothy Vallens in ''Film/BlueVelvet'', the biker bar chick in ''Series/TwinPeaks'' and the whole Club Silencio scene in ''Film/MulhollandDrive'', though all these instances are probably done for atmosphere more than anything else.
94	** He also likes facial injuries/deformity, shots of the road taken while driving, blinking/strobing lights, red curtains, and fixed shots of the elderly moving slowly. Oh, and terrifying imagery in abundance.
95	** That's besides his whole "dark underbelly of suburbia" thing, the dominant theme in much of his work.
96	** From the '90s onward, coffee, especially in ''Series/TwinPeaks'' and ''Film/WhatDidJackDo''.
97	* Creator/ChristopherMcQuarrie:
98	** [[ShownTheirWork Accurate]] firearms usage and tactics.
99	** The countless SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome moments, almost to the point of {{Deconstruction}}.
100	* Creator/SamMendes' entire filmography contains:
101	** [[BigScrewedUpFamily families (real or surrogate) that are screwed to oblivion]]
102	** [[CueTheRain scenes taking place in heavy rain]]
103	** [[ParentsasPeople flawed parental figure(s)]]
104	** Actresses [[Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh who are married]] [[Creator/MayaRudolph to directors]] (especially [[Creator/KateWinslet his own wife]])
105	** and [[spoiler: [[AnyoneCanDie crucial characters getting killed by the end of the film]]]].
106	** The only time where ANY of these tropes didn't happen was in ''Film/{{Jarhead}}''.
107	* Creator/ChristopherNolan's films:
108	** Every one of them is about a guilt-ridden male character's attempts to [[DarkAndTroubledPast atone for a past mistake or failing]], usually involving a woman who came to -- or ends up coming to -- a tragic end.
109	** They would be a third shorter if he left out all the [[SceneryPorn birds-eye view cityscapes]].
110	** ''Film/{{Inception}}'' can be seen as a "Nolan's greatest hits" in terms of director trademarks. There are metaphysical motifs, things that are not what they seem, a character side story serving as a metaphor for the protagonist or film overall, and a twist ending to a character story or film.
111	** At least one of the main characters will carry a small, innocent-looking object around (such as [[Film/TheDarkKnight a playing card, a coin]], [[Film/ThePrestige a bouncing ball]], or a [[Film/{{Inception}} spinning top]]) which we are treated to many close-up shots of.
112	** And if Creator/CillianMurphy is in the movie, at some point he will have a bag over his head.
113	** ''The Dark Knight Saga'' and ''Inception'' even have their own credits FONT.
114	* Creator/ParkChanWook: Explicit violence and sexuality interwoven with tragedy and BlackComedy. Expect [[ViolenceIsDisturbing the violence to be disturbing]].
115	** {{Revenge}}, specifically how RevengeIsNotJustice
116	** Protagonists who are TheQuietOne, often devolving into [[AntiHero Anti-Heroes]] or HeWhoFightsMonsters.
117	* Creator/JordanPeele has AnimalMotifs, which often overlaps into RuleOfSymbolism. All of his films thus far have a significant animal theme -- this ranges from [[Film/GetOut2017 deer]] to [[Film/{{Us}} rabbits]] to [[Film/{{Nope}} horses]].
118	* Film producer Jon Peters appears to really like {{Giant Spider}}s, as noted in our article on ExecutiveMeddling.
119	* Creator/SamRaimi's car during college, a 1973 yellow Oldsmobile Delta 88, dubbed "The Classic", is in many of his films. For example, it was Uncle Ben's car in ''Film/SpiderMan1'' and Ash's car throughout the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' franchise. He even managed to sneak it into the western movie ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead'' [[spoiler:as the undercarriage of a hay wagon]].
120	** He also adores torturing Creator/BruceCampbell in the number of projects he casts him in; ''Film/EvilDead2'' and ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' come to mind.
121	* All of the feature films from WebVideo/RedLetterMedia production company feature a VHS copy of ''Death List'' in a shot. These include ''Film/GorillaInterrupted'', ''Film/TheRecovered'' and ''Film/FeedingFrenzy''. In the latter, it's on a table while the characters are literally making a list of people who might die.
122	* Creator/MartinScorsese's films often feature Catholic imagery, guilt-ridden protagonists, and the MadonnaWhoreComplex in regards to love interests.
123	* Creator/KevinSmith always stuffs his films with his favorite things: ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Jaws'', hockey and comic book references, and talks about "unnatural" sex acts. He has a thing for [[{{Meganekko}} girls with glasses]], brought on by his wife. There are also ''Degrassi'' references. On a plot level, he has a tendency for relationships to be disrupted by the man's discomfort with the woman's previous sexual relationships.
124	* Creator/ZackSnyder:
125	** Aside from the pretty imagery, [[{{Overcrank}} slow motion]] shows up a lot in his films, especially [[HitStop faces being punched]], firearms shooting and [[SlowMotionDrop ammunition cartridge cases flying, falling and bouncing on the ground]].
126	** Visual references to ''Film/{{Excalibur}}'' as well as visual references to [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance Renaissance]] and classical art (especially works of art that were based on ''Literature/TheBible'').
127	* Creator/StephenSommers ''loves'' scenes with people getting swallowed up by quicksand and the ilk (see ''Film/{{The Jungle Book\|1994}}'', ''Film/{{The Mummy\|1999}}'', ''Film/TheMummyReturns'' and the Sommers-produced ''Film/TheScorpionKing'').
128	* Creator/StevenSpielberg's first film, ''Film/{{Duel}}'', used a dinosaur roar sound effect as the tanker truck goes over the cliff, which he has incorporated into the climax of every film he's made ever since.
129	** Considering that Spielberg had a tendency to include {{Lens Flare}}s in his own films (though most of these from intense light sources that often backlit actors), it's not surprising to learn that Creator/JJAbrams is directly inspired by Spielberg's style,
130	** Characters often talk over each other, resulting in two conversations simultaneously occurring or eventually merging in a scene.
131	** There's a reason why ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' and ''Podcast/RiffTrax'' often joke that any shot of a character staring in awe at something offscreen is guest directed by Spielberg.
132	* Creator/QuentinTarantino
133	** Tarantino has a TrunkShot in each of his films.
134	** When he heard it was being discontinued, he saved one last box of Fruit Brute cereal and tries to have a character eating it in every film he makes. He also has his own fictional brands, including Red Apple Cigarettes and Big Kahuna Burger. He also likes having stylized and often [[NauseaFuel nauseatingly]] gory action scenes (though hilariously, he still found [[Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife Mr. Creosote]] to be a bit too much to stomach).
135	** He has a history of [[CreatorCameo hiding himself as an extra]], often times [[DeathByCameo someone who dies]].
136	** He also loves shots of women's feet, to the point where it has become infamous - he gives long closeups of the feet of [[Film.KillBill Beatrix Kiddo]], [[Film.PulpFiction Mia Wallace]], and [[Film.OnceUponATimeInHollywood Sharon Tate]].
137	** On that note, {{Action Girl}}s.
138	** Characters with [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal alliterative names]].
139	** [[FoodPorn Lingering, mouth-watering focus on the delicious foods his characters indulge in]].
140	* Creator/{{Pixar}}'s Lee Unkrich
141	** He really likes monkeys. Guess what shows up twice in his directorial debut ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''?
142	** And speaking of Pixar, nearly every film by the company will contain a reference to Pizza Planet or A113 (more info under Western Animation).
143	* UsefulNotes/NewZealand film director Creator/TaikaWaititi incorporates an offbeat sense of humor (usually of the BlackComedy variety and laced with {{Bathos}}) and indigenous Māori themes in his films. That included [[Film/ThorRagnarok his first major Hollywood feature]], where [[CreatorCameo his portrayal]] of the Kronan rock alien Korg was based on Polynesian bouncers he'd once met.
144	* Creator/JohnWoo:
145	** Action sequences characterized by GunFu, GunsAkimbo, BottomlessMagazines, LeapAndFire, and the two-person point-blank MexicanStandoff.
146	** Expect his characters to [[WeaponBasedCharacterization wield]] a Beretta 92FS or [[GunsAkimbo even two]]. Woo even stated that it is his favorite gun to use in his movies.
147	** HonorAmongThieves and characters' attempts to maintain a moral code while engaging in immoral behavior.
148	** He is also fond of DisturbedDoves for its [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolism]], and since ''Film/{{The Killer\|1989}}'', they've shown up in all his work.
149	* Both of Creator/AliceWu's feature films and the short film "The Note" (which she directed) focus on the experiences of gay Chinese-Americans.
150	* Creator/KarelZeman seems to have put a thunderstorm in all of his feature films.
151	* Creator/RobertZemeckis
152	** He likes {{Historical In Joke}}s as well as putting real people in his films, either by getting the real person or by combining [[FakeShemp editing tricks]] with StockFootage.
153	** In a documentary made for the 2002 ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' [=DVD=], Zemeckis said he always felt the best TimeTravel stories were ''Literature/TheTimeMachine'' and ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''. Seven years later, he came out with his own version of the latter.
154	** Which brings us to MotionCapture.
155	** Casting actors, often the lead, [[ActingForTwo in multiple parts]] (Michael J. Fox in ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'', Tom Hanks in ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress'', Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman in ''A Christmas Carol'') and having them interact with each other.
