you know, i was on the fence before, but reading the phrase "cute visual gag" has tipped me into the definitely not seeing it camp. the way you wrote this was really faggy and i realized i’d be sharing the theater with people who say stuff like that.
They’re going to throw in a comic relief animal thing to keep kids entertained and sell merchandise. Like the cat from Lightyear and the bear cubs from Brave.
just from seeing a couple of stills posted here I can already tell that this is somehow even more creatively bankrupt than rebooting a 30 year old franchise with blacks and trannies
Their films post-woke have been dependent on gimmicks and particle tech to woo dumbasses because their diversity hires have diminished animation skill. They’re either increasingly “live action” or just FX smoke and mirrors. Pure shit. Close the company.
What I don't understand about this movie is that it seems entirely half-baked, like it genuinely thinks its "elemental people" premise truly is enough to carry an entire story. Most animated movies with gimmicks do it simply to stand out, but otherwise it's there to support an actual standard narrative.
So with Zootopia, it's a got a weird misfits buddy cop thing going on. The animal setting informs the otherwise well known genre fiction thing. Even the fucking Emoji movie has it. How the fuck is it 2022 and creatives are just completely regressing in terms of understanding what storytelling is?
Is this movie about solving crime? About two thieves stealing a diamond? Freedom fights uniting against an oppressive empire? Something exciting for the kids to get into? No, it's just two people fucking hanging around and there's family angst, it's fucking NOTHING.
It would have been more interesting to show it in the middle of an actual conflict between fire and water people (more like Avatar), not just make it another generic hard luck immigrants struggle to fit in story. Turning Red sucked for the same reason- no real plot, just 2nd generation Asians whining about how their parents hate them
>No, it's just two people fucking hanging around and there's family angst, it's fucking NOTHING.
umh that's basically the plot for the greatest Japanese pellicule of all time
Fucking totodile and fuecoco just being retards together for 2h is more entertaining than whatever this is, while still keeping the fire/water theme going.
Formerly good company loses all its talent from age, brain drain or cancellations and replaces them with homosexual weirdos more interested in current year politics than making anything good (which they couldn't do anyway) and the company becomes reviled, MANY such cases.
You could just tell it's soulless from the trailer. Some suit said do zootopia again and then forced all the workers to do it. Pixar is learning you can't force creativity and heart into a product. Only time and passion can.
>Immigrants from Fireland have Eastern European accents and seem kinda sorta israeli; however, they also love spicy food and laugh at water people who can’t handle it. Water people read as oblivious white people (a relative of Wade’s condescends to Ember by complimenting her English), but unlike stereotypical stuffy WASPs, they’re so free with their emotions they often can’t stop crying. (For what it’s worth, Lewis is Chinese American, and Athie was born in Mauritania.) Earth people and air people? Forget about them. They are almost totally irrelevant to this movie.
Do kids even care about opposites react love stories? Don't they think the other gender is icky? They want to see shit like Mario and Puss in boots 2. This looks like a movie that was generated by AI, typical pixar "What if ___ had feelings?". And I can't believe the budget is over $200M. Disney is seriously retarded and doesn't understand what kids want to see
probably not but you don't make clickbait by telling the truth
the Cars sequels were kino
I love spotting all the NASCAR references
Cars 2 was cool af, James Bond-like movies are always kino.
Cars 3 was shit because "muh latina car next gen inclusivity".
Steam
it can't be worse than Lightyear that's for sure
anything can be anything, don’t be so unimaginative.
Saw the trailer, it seemed like standard romeo and juliet story but with some cute visual gags with the elements. I bet it's decent

Wow I bet kids are gonna love it even more than the story about the Asian girl not getting along with her mom.
Holy kino.

Probably? I remember watching the trailer with my brother and we just joked it looks like Adventure Time.
kys kys……. and kys
Why did they make the water character so unlikeable?
Pixar has never made anything worse than 6/10, so I'm sure it'll be fine.
good dinosaur was nearly watchable
I hope this movie gives gen-a a fire fetish and they start trying to fuck fire and identify as fire then set themselves on fire.
Thought it was a Osmosis Jones sequel at first from the thumbnail.

Water extinguishes fire but I guess that's the point right?
Fire evaporates water dumbass a fire that can be put out by water is barely hot enough to even be called a real fire.
t. professional hotboy

The only crime Elemental seems to have is being mediocre. People expect a little more from Pixar than something so cliche.

Tokyo Story is crap and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
you dont have a family

Is Pixar finished? They keep making flops lately
their corpse will be puppeteered for a few more years but they're spiritually dead

>Immigrants from Fireland have Eastern European accents and seem kinda sorta israeli
"Oh gawd, the H2Oyim extinguished 6 gorillion flames!"
Pixar is nothing without lasseter and you know it

Last good Pixar movie was Inside Out
I liked Luca.
I liked Soul
Did it ~~*fail*~~ because it didn’t have enough nagger music, tranny propoganda, or climate change nonsense in it?
Even worse, straight romance.
Who cares?

Disney and Cartoon Network realized they lost Gen Alpha to the internet and video games. So they shifted their market to manchildren.
