Hi,

I don't know if it was done deliberately so he wouldn't be "TOO" 
scary for small children, but I too am concerned about Fluffy coming 
off like he belongs effects wise in CLASH OF THE TITANS.  Let me also 
remind everyone that CLASH is coming up on being a TWENTY-year-old 
movie...if it hasn't already.  My one concern about an otherwise 
FABULOUS trailer has been the appearance of Fluffy...more than 
whether the figures within portraits are moving or not...and 
arguments have started between myself and others as to whether they 
are or aren't moving (depending on the size of the picture...I 
sometimes see the figures moving...or perhaps it is an optical 
illusion of my own making (wishful thinking)?)  But yes, I hope they 
work on that three-headed- dog a little more.  Sometimes effects 
aren't "final" when they put out these trailers.
