Kids would rather play video games, and everyone on Twitter bullied Animation fans to the point where no one wants to go see a PG animated movie anymore
Yeah, and it was after that when everyone started making fun of Animation lovers because they kept using it and other kiddie media as examples of "ANIMATION IS CINEMA"
As someone madly in love with the mom, I understand that even the proudest furries will still give me a weird look if I admit to finding a literal talking dog attractive.
Hop was so profoundly terrible Illumination has fully memory-holed it, the characters never show up in any of their shorts or studio promos. Even the Lorax shows up in those.
It's the one live-action hybrid film they've done, right? Hop characters would probably look kinda weird next to the more stylized designs of their popular films
please understand that Cinemaphile has to decide every single movie has failed approximately two weeks before it even releases. That said I don't expect this movie to do all that well either.
I can't think of any other animated release right now (film OR television) that could pull attention away from Migration, so maybe it'll do alright? It looks predictable as hell, but I'm hoping the journey makes it a decent watch.
>Miyazaki is only doing well because everything else is flopping left and right
except for Godzilla Minus One as well
and Wonka turning out to be a smash hit
and Hunger Games continuing to do well
Despite performing well commercially, I haven't seen it pop up on my Tw*tter timeline at all aside from the occasional box office update. You would think a new Miyazaki movie would get nonstop discussion and inside jokes, but I've seen more Godzilla talk than anything. The Despicable Me short honestly has a better chance at inspiring memes and buzz.
>From ILLUMINATION, creators of MINIONS
At what point did these guys take over the entire Despicable Me franchise? Why do we even need a fourth Despicable Me at this point?
Anon the minions don't even appear in that trailer...
Also I remember when DM first came out there was literally 0 minions merch, my mom was super bummed because the first thing she did after we left the movie was try to find a minion plushie. I think the degree to which the minions were a hit was a surprise (though I've no idea why it wasn't obvious)
Oops, I linked the wrong teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HylrvcGp_0
It's possible Illumination had no idea the Minions would take the world by storm overnight, but you definitely get the sense that they'd caught on by the time the film was released on physical media.
>the character designs don't disgust me like other illumination movies
That's an issue I've always had with their movies. I know this studio likes to play it safe, but their recent Moonlight division gives me hope that they could one day try making a fully 2D film. The concept art for their movies always look so charming, yet a lot of the final CG models end up looking gross.
Their reliance on reusing a huge percentage of the assets from film to film enforces a consistent art direction, it's gotten worse in recent years. Basically all of their non-fantasy films look incredibly similar.
Avians in general don't seem to be popular among furries, but Migration adds yet another barrier by making them simply talking ducks with no real anthropomorphic qualities. Rio's waifubait was limited to the dorky bird owner. Migration doesn't even have that.

The Mario movie literally grossed $1.3B+.
because it's literally Mario
>because it's literally Mario
Yeah, and it's PG + animated regardless of the source material.
you're genuinely moronic if you believe this

You can blame incels for that. They piggybacked its success as retaliation against Disney.
>Twitter bullied Animation fans
Animation Twitter is literal cancer.
If you get bullied out of anything you enjoy you deserve it, eventually you have to grow up and stop caring so much about random peoples opinions
Got any grapes?

*duck
The concept just sucks.
I hate you homosexual coomers who coom to everything. You're like the idiots trying to lewd Santa Inc,. Seek help.
Feralchads will rise.
Hop (2011) was Illumination's second film. It made 184 million on a budget of 63 million, making it a minor flop.
Hop was so profoundly terrible Illumination has fully memory-holed it, the characters never show up in any of their shorts or studio promos. Even the Lorax shows up in those.

It’s not even out until tomorrow.

In other countries this movie is called DUCKS! why didn't they just go with that title.

There is the new Miyazaki movie, which is actually having a decent performance on the united states
damn
It's only performing decently because everything else flopping left and right.

It's so over for Illumination...
Disposable Me 4 is next summer right?

I haven't seen it yet but from what I've heard the story for Boy and the Heron is a bit of a clusterfrick.
It's "performed well" compared to its budget and past anime films. It's still way below most western animated films in the US
Ah, okay...
Budget is everything. Remember mega bomb Wish? That's made more than double what The Boy and the Heron has
Frick Marry Kill
More like kill kill kill
You already got the order right

Lol they always knew the minions would take off https://youtu.be/hocFEDWUe7Q

I'm sorry, but it looks boring. It's just a family road trip movie but with ducks. Who tf likes family road trip movies?
Eh, the character designs don't disgust me like other illumination movies but I have zero motivation to see this

What "fantasy films" have they even had?
Lorax, Grinch, Mario
Anything not set in the real world where they can't use "generic city block asset #34" over and over.
I see
I did like what we saw of Brooklyn in Mario tho
December films can and regularly do open low. With a 72mil budget it probably will break even
>December films can and regularly do open low.
But then leg out until late February

Its a talking animal movie which mostly appeals to furries, and furries mostly don't like anything other than mammals.
It's true...
Avians in general don't seem to be popular among furries, but Migration adds yet another barrier by making them simply talking ducks with no real anthropomorphic qualities. Rio's waifubait was limited to the dorky bird owner. Migration doesn't even have that.
People are just uncreative is all.
I hear the soundtrack's pretty good
What OP means by flop it won’t do Mario movie/Minions movie numbers.
That’s alll
