Quite simply I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt between now and March. As to the 3d vs 2d thing, I've not enough data to chime in; the 3 I've seen in 3d so far (Tron 2.0, Hugo, and TinTin) seem to have had the benifit of 3d being planned into it from the start.
As to little things like Nudity and skin color... I think that we're picking nits. Even if it wasn't a production overseen by Disney we'd have the 'they wear to much' issue since it is meant for prudish American audiences and they probably wanted to avoid a R to NC-17. And they may have not been able to get much more tint to the human skin, hence the more muted skin colors. So they get the benefit of the doubt till I actually see it.
On the way out of TinTin I saw a cardboard promo standup that had Carter facing two large white hairy things. It bugged me then that my recollection of the books was disindexed enough that I couldn't ID them on sight. But I think they were either the White Apes from near the S. Pole (appear sometime in books 3-4, I think?) or maybe someone went really bonzo on the Green's riding thoats. Can anyone confirm or deny which?
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
