Detective Pikachu Movie Finds its Director

Well, at least he has experience with animation.
The Detective Pikachu movie took another step toward production, as it has found its director. Goosebumps [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/rob+letterman][/i] movie, has been tapped by Legendary, the studio producing the movie.
Letterman's resume is filled with some animation, which should bode well for a live-action/animated hybrid. Pikachu should look pretty good, at least. Apart from the CGI-filled Goosebumps, Letterman was also a co-director on Gulliver's Travels [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters_vs._Aliens].
As far as I'm concerned, that's a pretty poor track record. There isn't really a good movie among the batch, and a couple of them are pretty terrible. Should this inspire confidence in the Detective Pikachu movie? Because I'm not feeling anything close to that.
Detective Pikachu (title pending) doesn't currently have a release date, but mid-to-late 2018 wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption.
