Not really. In fact the reason why kid actors are usually better than adult actors is because they don't over think like adults do. The actor who plays Carl is not the best I've seen, but he does a good job.
Da smurf? Name five child actors who are better than the average adult actor. Other than that girl in Beasts of the Southern Wild, who is an exception rather than the rule, I can't think of one.
