since the creator was a woman and most ghibli's fans are women, the chances of her being inspired by ghibli are very high. It would also explain why it was so boring.
Well Ghibli movies are pretty much the biggest movies in Japan to. Or they were 20 years ago. I don't see why "anime for people who don't watch anime" is necessarily bad because a lot of what weebs like is garbage.

That's not bad, it's good thing.
Weebshit is just FotM isekai trash & 4 girls do nothing SoL copypasted 50 times a season, but they make enough of it so one of two good shows shine through.
>ripped off from Ghibli >is ugly as sin >has a central message celebrating idiotic hedonism that is diametrically opposed to literally every film Miyazaki has ever made
>heh,check this cherrypicked screenshot >their mouths look similar in this scene, this proves Turning Red having a Grub Hub-tier character design was intentional and not the result of severe incompetence among Pixar's staff >plz don't look up for other screenshots of Totoro or my narrative will be destroyed
It's a failed attempt to imitate Japanese Kino by a Chink femoid director, of course it's shit.

They didn't try to imitate Japanese animation at all. Even the concept art is closer to OKKO and Tundercats Roar than to anime.

I'm sure the point of this from the money side was to get those Yuans.

Eh you might think that, and yes it's true that Zootopia and Coco made a lot of money in China. But there's no gurantee they'd go for this movie. I wonder if they even attempted to get it released in Chinese theaters, though there was still COVID lockdowns then in China, in March 2022. But they have Panda Mei at Shanghai DIsney so it's all good.

I think the data available indicates Turning Red might have reached Elemental level success. Around $500m ww or something. But then there was still COVID lockdowns in some parts of the world then...

China has 20x the population of S.Korea so it could have made billions off china alone if no covid and the chinks liked it... looked pretty good on paper when they started making this ~5 years ago.

I mean that's hyperbole. No movie, Chinese or American, has made that much money from ticket sales in China. I mean maybe one got to the equivalent of $812 million, a Chinese movie. Zootopia made over $200 million and that's the biggest Hollywood cartoon in China. Dunno about anciliaries because there might be more limitations on what Disney can monetize in China than in other countries.

If the film is good = Inspiration, Tribute, Homage
If the film is bad = Imitation, Ripoff, Knockoff

The film is bad and the "inspiration" is just a couple of anime references with a coat of Chinese stereotypes. The visuals are in line with other western cartoons made by modern Disney.
I don't think The Boy and the Heron is too divisive in the West. Maybe Japanese audiences were mixed, and by the way it was handicapped by an idiotic lack of marketing campaign.
it's proto-Mei and Totoro's everyday adventures, now mostly only mentioned because of the many childish upskirt shots butthurt Cinemaphilenons use as proof of Miyazaki's pedo leanings ever since he said Otaku were scum in that documentary
Either way, the answer is the same: It is sadly poorly attempted ripoff, no arguments. In Ghibli films, the side characters are at least likable after a while. Mei's friends are uniformly trash and she would be better off without them. The only one that is not a shallow NPC with any agency is Miriam, and that is only demonstrated with arguably 2 small nearly inconsequential actions in the film.
I actually enjoy Meilin's character and can even enjoy what she is going through, but the film is so jarring and poorly put together with so many poor elements, unpolished moments, and clunky messages that it is conclusively a poor film. There's really no arguing that point.
I fricking hate that stupid cooking scene with a passion. Tired of these moronic twitter morons deepthroating these overanimated garbage scenes. "ANIME FOOD LOOKS SOOOO GOOOOD!" Probably because it's overproduction garbage. Does a chip bag really need 500 frames and to bounce around everywhere? What a garbage soulless cooking scene. Ratatouille has the best cooking scenes because they make it detailed without overdoing it. "LOOK WE ADDED 1500 WAYERDROPLETS AND FLASH GRENADED THE ENTIRE FRICKING SCREEN! ISNT IT SO DETAILED! QUICK REPOST IT OVER AND OVER ON SHITTER!!!" Anime and nu pixar is garbage
This looks nothing like any of Ghibli's movies.
yeah the character design doesn't but the whole flying scene... Ghibli-esque imo.
Nah, that's just Steven Universe in 3D.
Those character designs look more like the PJ’s than Ghibli
or Aardman
>flying is studio ghibli
>no one else can make characters fly
thats stupid logic
since the creator was a woman and most ghibli's fans are women, the chances of her being inspired by ghibli are very high. It would also explain why it was so boring.
>most ghibli's fans are women
Wrong.
Ghibli is normie-core.
It's anime for people who don't watch anime.

What did they mean by this?
False.

>plz don't look up for other screenshots of Totoro or my narrative will be destroyed
it was intentional. You just don't like it.
I agree, it is very Ghbli, except pozzed.
Pozzed anime is very ubiquitous in muttoid cartoons
Ghibli is pozzed.
name a film that isn't "pozzed"
It looks nothing like Totoro or any other Ghibli movie. Even the concept art of Turning Red is just the "calarts bean mouth" trope with a big budget.
It's a failed attempt to imitate Japanese Kino by a Chink femoid director, of course it's shit.
at least Celine Sciamma liked it.

I was really just saying the character design was intentional. Bean mouth or not. Grubhub or not
they're just still triggered by SU style designs, it can't be helped
Yeah I don't really mind it. It's better than some other things.
>Boy on Heroin (a rather divisive film so far as Miyazaki's works go) outperforms literally every Disney film of the past several years
Ghibli-chads, we won.
I don't think The Boy and the Heron is too divisive in the West. Maybe Japanese audiences were mixed, and by the way it was handicapped by an idiotic lack of marketing campaign.
That style is called "Asian" anon
Stop
hey the movie will have a theater release soon so maybe I won't be he only one posting it.
Disney slop belongs on Cinemaphile, seethe.
*cough* dumb-ass
that's just the same pose used in any anime, Makoto doesn't have flying/jumping powers
It's an iconic pose but I am regretting my mean-spirited comment I apologize... It's because I peeked into Cinemaphile
I wasn't offended, I as the OP expected your comment as I baited it.
b***h LEAPS over time.
It's literally their corporate logo
GHIBLI NEVER MADE GRUBHUB
but yes, it's a failed pastiche of Only Yesterday and Panda Kopanda
what's the proto-Ghibli Panda movie about? Yes I know both things you listed are directed by Isao Takahata.
about a young girl frolicking with some pandas
it's proto-Mei and Totoro's everyday adventures, now mostly only mentioned because of the many childish upskirt shots butthurt Cinemaphilenons use as proof of Miyazaki's pedo leanings ever since he said Otaku were scum in that documentary
oh damn I didn't know GKIDS got their hands on this.
it wanted to rip off Totoro but it only managed Earwig and the Witch
do you mean the scene or the whole movie?

I think it's overrated too.
Grubhub commercials and Pixar lives rent-free in weeb's minds.
What is the deal with the west and ugly ass characters.
