Favorite CGI characters

Moviemaking has come a long way since the days when Godzilla was some guy in a rubber suit and Yoda was a puppet. Over the past 20 years or so, computer generated images have lent a more lifelike quality to even the most bizarre and unlikely of on-screen characters.

The folks at Entertainment Weekly have noticed. In honor of this budding genre, they put together their list of “Favorite CG Characters.”

Here’s what they came up with:

10. Casper, Casper the Friendly Ghost (1995)

9. T-Rex, Jurassic Park (1993)

8. Sandman, Spider Man 3 (2007)

7. Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story (1995)

6. T-1000, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

5. Yoda, Attack of the Clones (2002); Revenge of the Sith (2005)

4. Bumblebee, Transformers (2007)
