Adults cannot play children
One of the reasons the animation of the characters looks so creepy is they used adult actors (Peter Scolari, Tom Hanks) to motion capture the performances of the child characters. So, the child characters have an odd look because children just don't look, act, or move the way adults look. The children in this film look like little old men and it is creepy. They should have used children to motion capture the performances.
