The equipment itself is extremely expensive on top of the cost to have experts run it. Pixar in particular no doubt has one of the most expensive set ups of any animation studio in America, even if their usage of it is ridiculously overblown and unnecessary.
Because Pixar is a premium brand that produces "quality" animated movies.
Mario and Spiderverse have half that budget and they'll both make far more than eLemental.
>Illumination and Dreamworks making better movies than Pixar feels like nightmare dimension stuff
I never liked Pixar pretentious garbage so to me Dreamworks was always superior, but Illumination I agree with you. >I actually welcome it.
I do too.
Illumination did a great job with Mario and you just know that any other animation studio (bar Dreamworks) would frick it up.
>Spiderverse had half the budget >Spiderverse makes more than twice as much money than Elemental on Elemental's opening night >Despite having already been out for two weeks.
It's not even gonna be Ruby's fault. The movie looks fine, but general audiences are getting bombarded with trash this year and they're just tired of even trying to care.
First off, thats clearly a male
Second, more of the "muh first LGBLT" shit to put on headlines
Third, its a background character
Fourth, literally who?
goddamn libs, they're putting all this LGBT shit in these movies today that are barely noticeable and you wouldn't even be able to tell unless you obsess over it like a schizo madman aaaaa the west has fallen lgbt must indoctornate kids or whatever chuds on here talk about.
Do you morons have a single belief that wasn't given to you by Hollywood or government indoctrination centers?
ohhhh come on, you literally had to go out of your way to find out that he was nonbinary or whatever those people want to believe. I can't imagine ANY scenario where you just happen to stumble upon this, at the very least take the piss.

How can it flop for a detail literally no one that isn't a terminally online no lifer will know? Like I spend my time on a board about cartoons and haven't heard anything before this.
Like if it'd been an advertised selling point in the commercial I'd agree with you, but come on.
Now I understand why people call this place Cinemaphilemblr
No, that's idiotic. Literally nobody has heard about this even if they've actually been following this fricking movie (and most haven't) and this absolutely does not fricking "count" as anything, wtf. It's like saying shippers who ship Naruto and Sasuke counts as gay rep or whatever the frick.
This film looks fricking boring and paint by numbers as all shit that's why no one gives a shit.

Her half water baby would extinguish her from the inside out.
Also if all the elements mixed together they would just become burning mud, which feels allegorically racist towards mixed people.

They're doing that thing where they never actually state it in the movie and it's only information you will know about from external reference material.
Basically, it allows Disney to be woke without actually committing.
>Elementals bombs >Flash Bombs
why not just make movies shorter and thus cheaper? like elementals should be 70 minutes and flash could have been 90 minutes
there...I just saved 10s of millions of dollars.
i just wanna say, absolutely zero of my hating of this movie is based on some cultural grievance shit, I saw the very first images of this movie like a year ago and went "this is going to be shit. prove me wrong, Pixar" and then nothing I saw since then convinced me otherwise and it sure as hell isn't convincing me otherwise now. God damn that movie is some uninspired grey gruel. It was made using a bingo cage of ideas. They rolled it like three times and took those ideas and just went with it and spent SO MUCH MONEY on absolutely fricking nothing. It's incredible. It's like a smaller-scale version of when they made that John Carter Of Mars movie
The highly detailed animation for abstract designs like these is some uncanny valley shit. Watching clips actually have me motion sickness it’s so nauseating.
I did not even saw this movie yet, but according to some people, I heard it's good. For those of you who have seen it, is it really good or did Pixar screw this one up?
Oh look, yet another movie about ending prejudice as two people of different social status fall in love and have to deal with everyone telling them they shouldn't be together but the allegory falls apart because there are actually good reasons they can't be together because the creators chose to represent different races as things that actually shouldn't be together.
Can't wait for the next one where a diet coke and a mentos fall in love.
>this shit again
>after months of the same shit
Peak tism
Reminder, that shitty Uglydolls movie preformed well on opening night even though it flopped (duh).
Reminder this movie has a $200 MILLION budget. They spend 200 million on this and it won't even break $50 mil
it's a tech demo that got out of hand
Why does this stuff cost so much?

Illumination and Dreamworks making better movies than Pixar feels like nightmare dimension stuff, but I actually welcome it.
>better
I think it's just Disney is getting worse and those two make the same thing they always did.
>I think it's just Disney is getting worse
Correct
>and those two make the same thing they always did.
Wrong
Both dreamworks and Illumination are doing something fresh stuff lately, specially from 2022 onwards.
>Illumination and Dreamworks making better movies than Pixar feels like nightmare dimension stuff

I do too.
Illumination did a great job with Mario and you just know that any other animation studio (bar Dreamworks) would frick it up.
We know if Disney were in charge they'd raceswap Peach, then just throw their hands in the air and say video game movies don't sell when it bombs.
money laundering
>Spiderverse had half the budget
>Spiderverse makes more than twice as much money than Elemental on Elemental's opening night
>Despite having already been out for two weeks.
>movie attached to iconic IP beats original IP
Stop the presses.
Once upon a time, Pixar itself was the IP.
Ruby is next
It's not even gonna be Ruby's fault. The movie looks fine, but general audiences are getting bombarded with trash this year and they're just tired of even trying to care.
Is that the other mermaid movie? It doesn't look fine. It looks like fricking dogshit
Who cares I want to see the Ariel knockoff frick the squid girl (she should have been voiced by Christine Marie Cabanos)
>The movie looks fine
That's a good joke. This board is the only place I've seen it talked about.
>The movie looks fine
I hate the character designs so fricking much, specially Ruby jelly design.
Who the hell employs those character designers? are they cronies?
At least its not like Turning Red with the fricking CalArts shit
You think the 3D bastard child of Corporate Memphis is an improvement?
How many days has this movie been opened before you're calling it a financial failure?
I think people might be tired of what of things had feelings ,what was the last one like that the Brazilian mermaid kids?
The twerking 13 year old panda
It will flop because they keep introducing LGBTQAI+ shit no one wants

>Three completely straight movies in a row
>Put this
So close yet so far
Well now I'm wondering how do these elements even reproduce in the first place?
They go to Chucks.
Apparently, they have sex normally. The director mentioned one of the earliest ideas for the epilogue was the main couple having a baby
https://thedirect.com/article/elemental-sequel-exclusive
The memes really write themselves.
>both white
what
>both white
I thought this was a blatant self-insert kind of story but it's not something applicable to them is all
They can't even touch each other without him evaporating. How he's gonna tap that? Artificial insemenation?

Worked
>FIRST NONBINARY
What about C3PO?
How can it flop for a detail literally no one that isn't a terminally online no lifer will know? Like I spend my time on a board about cartoons and haven't heard anything before this.
Like if it'd been an advertised selling point in the commercial I'd agree with you, but come on.
Uh... What..? Why... Why are they putting these in movies now?
They're doing that thing where they never actually state it in the movie and it's only information you will know about from external reference material.
Basically, it allows Disney to be woke without actually committing.
the first gay character of disney again
Finally some good fricking news
Make smoke
Go broke
India should love this because they will beat people to death if they don't believe in ugly characters with the powers of nature.
>It’s about racism
>But with elements that literally cannot interact with each other without killing
I’m amazed /misc/ isn’t all over this yet
It needs to get in line behind Spiderverse 2.
That's worse than Shazam 2
And Shazam 2's budget was pretty much half of Elemental's budget
Shazam 2: The 7-11 Slurpee Endorsement Movie
For half a second I read that as Kazaam 2. And I was disappointed in myself for not knowing that there was a Kazaam 2.
It'll probably bomb, but thursday box office is clickbait. Because it's fricking thursday.
>probably bomb
It's 100% going to bomb
People will use this to vitue signal something
ohhhh shit we pulling out the OLD memes? I have SO MANY from like 2006
>lots of people at Pixar playing the Crying Game now
>Elementals bombs
>Flash Bombs
why not just make movies shorter and thus cheaper? like elementals should be 70 minutes and flash could have been 90 minutes
there...I just saved 10s of millions of dollars.
Mario being short is what made it kino. Only had to take my kiddo once to the bathroom and we even got leftover popcorn when we left the theater.
I liked that the beginning part in Brooklyn told us everything we needed to know quickly and didn't drag it out for an hour.
Who the hell needs more than one bathroom break during a movie?

Ticket prices are too high for 70 minutes movies.
And why do you think they're so high?

Torrent when?
>pixar will (justifiably) shutter within your lifetime
surreal for me, dunno about you ghuys
Pixar needs to wake tf up.
I hate the water dude face so much omg. I get he is supposed to be a goofball but man this is rough.
The highly detailed animation for abstract designs like these is some uncanny valley shit. Watching clips actually have me motion sickness it’s so nauseating.
>not good enough to be good
>not bad enough to be entertaining
This is the ultimate 5/10 holy shit
Is this the summer of the flops because I think Spider-verse's the only new film earning a profit right now.
I did not even saw this movie yet, but according to some people, I heard it's good. For those of you who have seen it, is it really good or did Pixar screw this one up?

Well shit, we really are going through Year of the Flops. I didn't think it would do well but this is very bad.
