In the beginning, there were human humans and hand-drawn-looking Toons, and never the twain did meet. But then one day, someone got curious, and the result was something oddly in-between -- a CGI Toon. As this has become more common (and social attitudes have become more egalitarian), it's got to the stage where CGI toons can get cast as stuntmen and props alongside human actors without people batting an eyelid - and now they're even taking starring roles. In fact, Hollywood may be approaching an extended CGI-spolitation period. In thirty years' time, Toy Story may well be viewed as this generation's Shaft.

In thirty years' time, Toy Story may well be viewed as this generation's Shaft. * This theory may also be an explanation for Robin Williams and Jim Carrey. * This can work in the opposite direction too, i.e. toons who act entirely like regular people. For example, the cast of Daria who display no supernatural powers whatsoever. * Judge Doom may have been one of the first. * Human-toon inbreeding can also explain why so many toons resemble famous human actors and performers. After all, the first humans to come in regular contact with toons would be people who were spending a lot of time in Hollywood or in TV studios. Indeed, hundreds of toons trace ancestry back to greats like Elvis Presley, Peter Lorre, Frank Sinatra, and the like.
