Are we entenring the era of cartoons not giving a frick about social media anymore?
>it's impossible to please everyone
>that's why all my movies are shit
See above.
troony pls
I hope so. Studios are thinking twice about listening to woketards after what happened to Disney.
>after what happened to Disney
Literally what.
I love these two being back-to-back. Goes to show how astonishingly little the "rEdPiLlEd" perspective is worth.
The "Don't Say Gay" bill reaction.
It's starting to hurt their bottom line, I can see why investors would be upset
Kids do like their banana tic tacs with eyes artistic integrity be dammed
Kids will put up with almost anything you put in front of them. That doesn't mean they like it.
If they didn't, they wouldn't have made more.
Shut up gay
Hopefully but in this case it's Minions Man using it to deflect from the fact he makes soulless trash; Rabbids for boomers.
Oh I hope so.
I pray we go back to a time when companies just wanted your money and didn't pretend like they had some moral imperative.
You know who should start with not caring about that shit? Cinemaphile talking about underrated gems barely makes 10 posts but "he said / she said something on Twitter that I don't agree with" posts reach hundreds, easily. If we want corporations to stop giving these people power we should set an example.
Based and redpilled. Is there anything else left to say?
But Illumination films are the safest shit
Illumination films are still edgier than Lightyear.
They are the safest shit because they want to make them like that, which is his entire point. He even defended Lightyear in the same event saying Disney should stand up for their vision.
All he wants is for movies to be allowed to be whatever the creators wish.
Feels like a direct call out to Lightyear, am I thinking too deep about this? The whole reason the kiss was re-added back into the movie was because of the reaction towards the "don't say gay" bill and disney's involvement to it.
>praising more minion shit to own the libs
Has Cinemaphile sunken this low?
Only the ones who still think the "libs" are the ones they're "owning."
In the same way you can like the work and dislike who makes it, you can admit the man has a point even if minion ads make you want to throw your TV.
Yes. It's like when Moviebob or /misc/ has a point you can't really disagree with. Happens once in a blue moon, but it does.
We've gone lower.
Certainly when it comes mmto waifus...
That's a sign of how low the libs have gotten
It goes to show how disgusting neoliberals/SJWs/Tumblr/California/trannies are that even the lowest of human beings (pajeets) are right about them.
Illumination is Disney with a shittier coat of paint.
Brainwashed zoomers would shoot themselves in the foot to own some gay they'll never meet.
watch anime instead
Based Illumination
I have never hated illumination as much as everyone else and I appreciate Meledandri just makes films for families to have a good time. Disney and Pixar gave gotten so pretentious and most of their films nowadays are worse than any of Universal's output.
Don't ever let freaks on Twitter and shit tell you how to make your art. It'll make you miserable and penniless. Based man.
I appreciate the message expressed and it's very important for the creative process, but aren't Illumination movies made to pander to the lowest common denominator in the first place?
And Disney movies aren't?
Never said they weren't.
Yes. Now look at everyone calling them "bAsEd aNd rEdPiLlEd" in this very thread and laugh.
>the man has a point
The same point made by every milquetoast fence-sitter after they accidentally flirt with fascism, before it stops being an accident.
Take you meds
seething over minions while whining on and fear mongering about "fascists"
lol, you're completely mindbroken
Its going to be fricking hilarious if Minions outsells Light-year the absolute humiliation.
You are a great example of what happens when modern parents unironically give their toddlers internet access via ipad
>aren't Illumination movies made to pander to the lowest common denominator in the first place?
As much as I find their movies boring, I feel you're being reductive. They pander specifically to traditional families, which is offensive to certain online enclaves.
They do pay a price for it. When Sing 2 was beating Encanto at theaters, online media was not writing about that at all. Instead they were pushing stories about Encanto's music charting. It was pretty weird to see.
Illumination is literally some of the blandest milquetoast shit ever put on screen.
This doesn't feel like a geniune philosophy of the company but rather the CEO seeing an opportunity to salt the wound of a competitor that is currently tanking.
This fricker doesn't give a shit about art. I'd hardly call anything he produced art at all. He just wanting to join in on the Disney pummeling.
>treating the minions guy like an illustrious pioneer
Cinemaphile has hit rock bottom, and now it hits rock bottomer
>flood social media with shit like minions and sing
>social media is moronic
>refuses to elaborate
>leaves
>Meledandri questioned the roll
>roll
Come on
the Lehman Brothers joke in the first Despicable Me proves he's left wing, but it does figure that a lot of the Illumination team he directly works with are French. Their culture is very different in terms of rejection of puritanism and valuing free expression than Twitter outrage farmers
Sing 2 >>>>> Lightyear, Turning Red, Encanto and Raya combined
Change my mind, Disney wienersuckers.
Why would you want to watch any of that garbage?
t. wienersuckers
Sucking someone's dick solely because they align with you politically is still wienersucking.
>Sucking off a shitty movie because "Oh he's le based and le redpilled"
You homosexuals are exactly the same as reddit.
Sing 2 is actually good, go watch it
The first Sing wasn't even watchable if you were anything older than 12.
I'm not wasting my time on a shit movie, especially one you claim is "good" purely because of waifushit.
Don't even try and deny this, I haven't seen a single person praise this movie who doesn't immediately follow it up with "btw I want to frick the wolf b***h".
I like Sing in spite of the wolf b***h. It's an underdog story first and foremost.
Is it actually decent?
Furries have a terrible track record of watching garbage just because they are horny and praising the frick out of mediocre crap, should I give it a chance?
I thought it was common knowledge that listening to Twitter is for morons.
It is, but journalists desperate for content wind up making Twitter mountains out of molehills, which only gets idiots in marketing nervous
What if Sing 3 is centered around a Willy Wonka parody and Porsha becomes the blueberry?
MeatCanyon’s pretty played out, but that nose joke in his Minions video was pretty good since the dying Minion was rather visually obvious, no need for a sniff test.
Illumination is just trying to make products that attract the most families.
They aren’t trying to pander to everyone.
Hate or love them, they know what they are and what they want.
Unlike Disney who keep throwing stuff trying to pander to everyone and no one.
bullshit unless he lets mario say Black person
>roll
Quick question, how would the movie offend anybody? It's the fricking minions, what are they going to show up in a MAGA hat and say political slogans like they do in Facebook?
>Quick question, how would the movie offend anybody
It's probably what they don't include: token characters to appease the representation crowd.
Is Cinemaphile really so desperate for validation that they'll suck off anybody who agrees with them even a little bit?
Better than being a homosexual that hates Illumination because they heard someone on youtube say they're bad.
Do you think people here honestly watch bullshit like Mr. Enter or something? Illumination sucks (for adults) because they make cheap kiddie shit. The only movie of theirs I've watched of theirs through my own volition was the first Despicable Me and that shit was boring as frick. The rest have been through background watching while looking after nieces and nephews because they hoover up that braindead garbage, that's the intended audience.
This is why their decision makes sense, entertainment for kids requires the consent of the parents that buy it
It is pretty stupid to go against your customers when all your eggs are on the children entertainment basket
That's fine and dandy, kids can enjoy whatever shit they want as long as it's age appropriate. That doesn't mean they aren't a complete bore to sit through as an adult. You can make a cartoon movie that is interesting to look at and has competant writing, Pixar and Renaissance Disney nailed that formula back in the day after all.
Remember when Robocop was a good violent movie that had kid toys?
We need to go back to that if you ask me, I think the main issue lies on focusing only on that age demographic, look at bluey it does a small effort to appeal to parents and they sing it praises for it, it can be done but no one tries to do that outside of a few shows
of course they're bad anon, they started making films after i grew up
They're called Cinemaphilentrarians for a reason
What does this mean for the Mario movie? Anything?
Nice sentiment but Rise of Gru is clearly pandering to the Chinese market
>people responsible for Minions complain about cancel culture
lmao anything to put boomer in those seats I guess.
There's another interview where he shrugs off the weirdos seething over Chris Pratt voicing Mario.
wow
>creative
Bro we hate the Minions and they set a bad example for other animated films
I knew they were based from the start
