Cartoonish might be a poor word choice, but I think I mentioned elsewhere here that I thought they did a better job on Gollum in LOTR than they did with Avatar as far as giving characters emotional facial expressions. In Avatar, about all I registered were "anger", "love", "fear", and "disappointment" which was a pretty limited set of emotions and it came off rather boring, I thought. There was hardly any emotion at all. In LOTR, it was really rather fascinating to see Gollum in the sequences where he fought with himself, and that was using technology that is now primitive compared to Avatar's.
