I just installed Houdini Indie and imported an FBX from mixamo and I am seeing this strange behaviour ..

Sorry … clicked on submit too soon but I guess my questions is: has anyone seen this before? I am using a Lenovo YOGA2 with an Intel graphic card. I am not really running anything heavy duty I am just testing some simple animations. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hm, that's definitely a driver issue. You may want to see if there's an updated graphics driver for your GPU. Unfortunately laptop manufacturers as notorious for not providing access to the latest driver, so you might have to go to Intel's site if Lenovo doesn't offer a newer driver.
