One of the actors in Zemeckis' film is Debbie Lee Carrington, a very short actress who has appeared in numerous films.
She had this to say about the casting of "little people" in the film:
Carrington also appears in the upcoming Robert Zemeckis Christmas tale, The Polar Express, out next year. "It's all going to be motion capture. No film has ever, in its entirety, been done with motion capture, and this is one situation where they could have picked a tall actor and made them an elf," she said. "But they auditioned little people, and it wasn't your corny typical Santa's helpers. We're like rough, New York-accent guys. Everybody in the entire film, including Tom Hanks, is going to be animated."
Interesting comment about their characters!
