I have been reading audience reviews and I can understand that people's taste in writing and storytelling differ, but you have to be blind to think that the CGI here is good. People are saying the CGI here is excellent. What? Did I see the same movie as these people? Holy crap, this might be the worst CGI I have ever seen. I don't get how people think the CGI is good. Anyone here liked the CGI? Be honest.
Mostly true, but there have been a few movies that have impressed me. Overall though CGI isn't all that. Even the movie Avengers Endgame had some parts where the CGI had me snickering. There was one part toward the end of the big battle with RDJ that had me rolling my eyes due to the fact that the CGI and RDJ combined looked so amateurish.
I just saw the trailer for "Call of the Wild" with Harrison Ford. They actually have CGI dogs running around, looking completely fake, when real dogs could have been used. It looks like Ford's image was captured and inserted into a video game.

The CGI was decent but certainly not excellent. On the other hand, it is far from being "the worst CGI I have seen". To be fair, its very difficult to make photorealistic CGI animals and the first time they ever pulled it off was Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and stuff like Life of Pi. The movie is aimed at small children and I do not think they will notice or care than the animals are not real. Only adults will be annoyed at stuff like that.
>> I wish they’d just use real animals. <<
It would be impossible for real animals to do most of the stuff the animals do in this movie, the scenarios are obviously fantasy. Though it was annoying that there seemed to be zero real animals used in a movie about animals. I would prefer a blend of maybe 70% CGI and 30% actual on set animals. Would have made the movie flow a lot more smoothly.
The original Dr. Doolittle used mostly real animals except for the pushamapullme. It is a terrible movie all around. I remember when I was a kid, there were so many better children's movies than there are now. These days fart, poop and wee wee jokes are in almost every kids movie.
