I swear the color yellow has something to do with it. Think about it. Minions, Simpsons, fricking Spongebob. I remember reading that the animators made the simpsons yellow specifically to stand out. Even Big City Sneeds is one of the more popular animated shows for Disney right now.
Also Big Bird and Charlie Brown's shirt.
the last one is "pale", which can be both tones of yellow or green.

For political stuff maybe but I doubt researchers have an anti-yellow bias/agenda. Furthermore you can do this yourself; ask a group of people what colors they dislike, yellow is always gonna come out at the top.

That's one of the theories but it also brings the question of why people like golden stuff when its just metallic yellow.

You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.
Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear – you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Considering that I've already explained to you months ago what this groomer nonsense constitutes, have you ever considered that "we" were mostly teenagers and some people are out here growing up properly instead of messing with the heads of kids and teenagers at 30 or 35?
It’s easy and straightforward to take your kids to. Minions as a kids film is basically just a two hour babysitter with goofs and a simple story to entertain. The more grown up aesthetics and complex plot of Lightyear may not gel with the really little kids, and any added controversy from the gay kiss but will inevitably put off some portion of the audience that just wants something uncomplicated.
" grown up aesthetics" are from Dead Space, the "complex plot" is a bad imitation of Christopher Nolan. The kiss is the only part the crew actually cared about, even though it looks really depressing
If you genuinely believe adding anything other than a white dude into a show is an attempt to replace you, you're a fricking fragile moron who's been baited into having a victim complex by internet grifters earning a quick buck from you constant autistic screaching at their latest video.

It is, just not exactly in the way that's being posited. We're being replaced as consumers and as the targets of consumerism by black people. That's not anytging to be upset about I don't think. As a population we're not being replaced by black people, we're being replaced by Latinos.
You do this every time now. You spend all day long running political campaigns and operations, writing political op-eds and internet threads, and indeed politicizing your very existence, and the second you get any criticism you claim that there's nothing political going on. Cowards.
trannies became political when they started forcing other people to indulge their beliefs; its like saying christians are not political when they want to ban abortion based on their beliefs
I assume they didn't made the whole advertisement of the movie based on that like Disney did with Lightyear just because they wanted to dab on the chuds
If (you) aren't bullshitting then it's because they didn't make a whole parade about it because they knew they'd make money. Lightyear just felt desperate, funny enough the kiss was going to be cut before the "Don't Say Gay" mess.

kids don't do, but their parents do. When they saw Disney shilling against the anti-groomer law they decided they don't want their kids watching stuff made by groomer supporters.
People simultaneously over- and underestimate how similar /misc/ is to the real world.
Is the average parent on /misc/ going “gas the israelites race war now,” screeching about White genocide and israeli degeneracy? No, they’re not. However, regarding the specific issue of gay stuff being pushed on kids, that’s one area where /misc/ aligns with your average normie. Lightyear 100% flopped because of the gay crap, and Disney is suffering for the same reason

you are just like those homosexuals on Cinemaphile going 'we did it Cinemaphile we made the TORtanic sink!'
It didn't flop because of teh ghey. Teh ghey would have drawn in tons of gheygays in Pride Month. The fact that they advertised it solely on the basis, and as 'teh first gay lady kiss eber!!' probably turned some people off, including some ghey, but most of that is because of 'diverse' casting done on remakes of other things, which were done poorly, giving that a bad name. The majority of it was because of the deeper problem that plagues Hollyweewee; desperate cash grabs with shitty writing and needlessly grimdark or fatalistic writing.
Not that many people are homophobic these days, despite what the screeching lefty media and homophobic homosexuals like YoungRippa and Matt Walsh think also those c**ts need to get a fricking life it's just a movie.

As a brand, Illumination has the cache that Disney/Pixar used to have: parents can trust their output implicitly. I don't want to knock Pixar for wanting to expand the scope of their offering or being political, but brand confusion and polarizing the market are natural risks.
Illumination also did some effective, months-long guerilla marketing with the soundtrack on social media. Apparently these were popular on Tiktok. It's a case of synergy actually working as intended.
Pixar arrogantly thought they new what audiences wanted. What people really want is to be sold a simple, easily digestible product that makes them feel good for buying it. That’s why Andy Warhol became the richest artist ever.
That's not a /misc/ thing, that's an "Americans in general" thing.
Which is why American media is so shit nowadays.
It's become a battleground for politically-obsessed autists.
Disney is trying to make people hate minions by saying it is trans propaganda because the minions like to cross dress and is played as a joke.
They are very upset Lightyear bombed.
I think there are a few reasons. Most people are not interested in Buzz Lightyear, astronaut. They're invested in Buzz Lightyear, the Toy. So, if they'd done another Toy Story movie it probably would have done fine.
Second, Disney kept dumping their Pixar movies on Disney+, including Turning Red, which was supposed to have a theatrical release. So, they've trained their audience to watch their movies on streaming.
In fact, I think that the success of Disney+ might be undermining Disney's box office returns, because it's become the place where you see Disney movies. I've literally heard stories of parents asking their kids if they wanted to see Lightyear, only for the kids to say, "Isn't that going on Disney Plus? Eh, I'll wait."
A Buzz Lightyear movie with a tone more similar to the show would've probably done a lot better than the movie we got. Something simple funny and nostalgic, with a colorful retrofuturistic aesthetic, crazy cartoonish action and tons of fun alien character designs. Not sure why they ever thought people would be interested in "realistic" Buzz LIghyear film. Is it because of how much they hate the show?
>Buzz LIghyear film. Is it because of how much they hate the show?
seems they wanted to start from 0 so they couldn't get compared to the series or any other spinoff.
>Lightyear has full settings, barely has space stuff, and has unremarkable side characters. >Minions is loud, colorful, and obnoxious but will get a child’s attention fast.
Gee OP, it’s a mystery.
>Movie that's targeted to kids vs Movie that's targeted to no one
If lightyear had the LGM and had some family friendly alien adventures the movie would have actually sold well.
Lightyear was boring a couldn't grasp neither adults or children, meanwhile Minions appeal to the lowest common denominator, the minions are safe and make kids laugh, enough to make money
It’s easy and straightforward to take your kids to. Minions as a kids film is basically just a two hour babysitter with goofs and a simple story to entertain. The more grown up aesthetics and complex plot of Lightyear may not gel with the really little kids, and any added controversy from the gay kiss but will inevitably put off some portion of the audience that just wants something uncomplicated.
minions was just chinese market bait
the china town theme was good for a 70s setting but you only had 1 maybe 2 actual chinese characters in the movie at all and the 1 chinese lady was 20 minutes of the movie for about 2 minutes of resolution towards the end, could have done a whole lot more with chinatown in san fran but squandered it
I honestly dont think these movie are well written or directed even compared to hotel translyvannia
they just cruise on children and olds who love minions
I wouldn't even say this is good enough to be a theatrical movie, this is basically made for tv/streaming
side note, maybe lightyear failed for not being a movie about woody instead of buzz
Because the little shits are funny and they represent a normality from pre-pandemic that people were attracted to. Honestly it feels a bit good to see the annual Illumination film doing numbers, suggesting that theaters aren't dead and the world really isn't all that changed.
Lightyear on the other hand flopped because Disney represents the antithesis of that. It was marketed as changing a classic animated character with a dark tone, featured a gay kiss which eliminated a Republican audience, and was too different from Pixars typical faire. Wasn't what people wanted to see the summer after the pandemic. People want feel good, classic action, comfortable, even patriotic movies. It's why Top Gun, Jurassic World and Elvis did so well too.
>Because the little shits are funny and they represent a normality from pre-pandemic that people were attracted to.
It was also the last covid hold out. People were probably itching to see it. It was originally supposed to be out in 2020. Universal spent 6m on a super bowl ad two years ago before it got delayed.
I bet Universal is happy they kept it for later. It's gonna make them a billion now rather than 400-500M it would've made a year ago. It also means the Mario movie will be a massive hit as well. It's probably why they pushed Migration to December next year so Mario can have that fourth of July weekend. Then they have Despicable Me 4 lined up the year after that. I'm sure Pixar is seething cause Illumination about to be making some serious bank.
>I bet Universal is happy they kept it for later
Yep, they admitted they kept from dumping it on Peawiener because they didn't want to cheapen the Illumination brand
Then you look at Turning Red, a flagship Pixar film, and it made only 20 million.
That sounds backwards. Shouldn't Disney be the ones to care more about their brand reputation than Illumination, the company known for doing the bare minimum to turn a quick profit?
>Because the little shits are funny and they represent a normality from pre-pandemic that people were attracted to.

That and corona taking a chunk of the infected's gray matter. Don't be surprised if by next year the entire US is speaking in Minionese.
The funny thing is that the crowd that approve or make shit like Lightyear sneer or scorn at media like Top Gun and the like BECAUSE they don't do those things in the first place. Almost like some people in Hollywood are actively waging war against the public at large.
Has anyone checked out the The Office parody they released a couple days ago? https://youtu.be/A4FMZpNNrzA
I think it's actually pretty impressive how they perfectly blend CG character with pre-existing live action footage.

Migration moving to december will most likely help it just like it did Sing.
People are absolutely obessed with these moronic yellow midgets, its like asking why are people going to McDonalds every day instead of some other food.
they had a whole year to just budget marketing harder than it was going to do.
THERE IS A FRICKING MINIONS ZIP RECRUITER AD
the stupid suit meme on tiktok took off in only a few days.
this is probably be the most advertised animated movie ever made that isnt under disney money.
So Minions decide to advertise in a weird but viral way, and Disney thinks the best way to advertise is to say their movie has a homosexual kiss? What happened to Disney?
different goals.
franchise and licensing for disney regardless if 1 movie does bad, they will figure it out later in some sort of way. if it did bad as a movie or show tv show its probably doing well in another aspect since they havent made it a lost cause.
illuminations being "cheapest production objective for the most amount of profit" as they make the most algorithmically safe, max audience reaching garbage for the most amount of money movies ever. minions was a sticking icon in a era where no one's new ideas was sticking longer than they were projected so they arent about to ruin their movies with other shit, each movie is structured exactly the same.
Disney shit will buzz on social media keeping the topic in people's mouth and eyes whether you like it or not. illuminations will just sell minion merch and push promotions into everything else. they dont exactly have any other iconic brands, secret life of pets and sing is as generic as it gets.
While Minions sucks ass and ruined animation forever regarding all CGI movies having Minion ripoffs now, Lightyear looks like "Some fricking realistic guy - in 3D. Enjoy."
>Made almost as much money on Friday alone as Lightyear made in its entire weekend
Honestly, I hate Minions shit, but I do find this funny.
Either market to kids or market to nostalgia pandering, stop trying to market to both with the bland ugly shit that was Lightyear.
This is the future Americans wanted.
Can't do anything that might challenge the audience because it's offensive, can't do anything sexy because male gaze or some shit, can't do anything that might actually have something to say because "muh politics" or "muh not the right politics," can't do anything too violent because "muh animation is for kids."
Don't call it a grave.
Back when you had C-cassettes and you found out that you could change the pitch of the songs by gently pressing forward, didn't you find it super fun? I did that shit for hours because I wanted to hear every song with that "chipmunk voice". So it's the same with Minions, Crazy Frog etc.
Remember Chucky, the possessed doll from those horror movies? Imagine someone made a Chucky movie that was actually about the Good Guys Dolls, the fictional franchise that the Chucky doll was merchandise for.
Who would such a movie be for? Who would want that?
That's the problem Light-year had. It would legitimately have had stronger consumer pull as a standalone youth-oriented animated sci-fi movie, instead of a Toy Story spin-off.
Is Illumination hiring?
I'd like to get some of that minion money
Are you French? The overwhelming majority of their animation work is done at their French studio.
I think the only things they do in America are the corporate/some of the pre-production work.
No but I am brown.

shiny yellow=wealth
regular yellow=dead flesh
I guess it's the most disliked only when it comes to personal clothing
Maybe it is "Yellow!urine" vs bright yellow sun.
It is considered garish, Unless it is a children wearing.
Fast food restaurants are usually painted yellow or similar bright colors because its an unpleasant and makes people not want to stay for long.
That also makes me remember the whole Backrooms meme, in which the yellowness is sold as a big part of what makes the atmosphere of the place unsettling.

Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
>You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
I'd argue it's even worse with most MtFs. Many are hetero men with a creepy fetish hoping it will somehow get them pussy. Hence why so many identify as "lesbians"
yeah you don't even need to have gender dysphoria to be trans, all you need is being a porn addict with a crossdressing kink.
Still forgot to have a nice day, but hopefully the keyboard exercise does it

Oh yes I will.

When did we become the soccer mom that tried to ban Pokemon that we hated?
if I'm in love with a person them may turn into a beast or blind but I would still love them.
That's the oldest moral of "love always them either sick or mentally iill" was made for
Considering that I've already explained to you months ago what this groomer nonsense constitutes, have you ever considered that "we" were mostly teenagers and some people are out here growing up properly instead of messing with the heads of kids and teenagers at 30 or 35?
" grown up aesthetics" are from Dead Space, the "complex plot" is a bad imitation of Christopher Nolan. The kiss is the only part the crew actually cared about, even though it looks really depressing
I love having the "privilege" of having to deal with trans bullshit...
The existence of people different from you, who actively try to erase and displace you, is very political. Shut the frick up homosexual.
Survival of the fittest, guess you’re subhuman
If you genuinely believe adding anything other than a white dude into a show is an attempt to replace you, you're a fricking fragile moron who's been baited into having a victim complex by internet grifters earning a quick buck from you constant autistic screaching at their latest video.
If you genuinely believe adding anything other than a black dude into a show is an attempt to replace you, you're a fricking fragile moron who's been baited into having a victim complex by internet grifters earning a quick buck from you constant autistic screeching at their latest video. have a nice day you duplicitous fricking troony.
>If you genuinely believe adding anything other than a black dude into a show is an attempt to replace you
It is, just not exactly in the way that's being posited. We're being replaced as consumers and as the targets of consumerism by black people. That's not anytging to be upset about I don't think. As a population we're not being replaced by black people, we're being replaced by Latinos.
Don't make me tap the sign
have a nice day
You do this every time now. You spend all day long running political campaigns and operations, writing political op-eds and internet threads, and indeed politicizing your very existence, and the second you get any criticism you claim that there's nothing political going on. Cowards.
>privileged
Pink Fascism is adorable.
trannies became political when they started forcing other people to indulge their beliefs; its like saying christians are not political when they want to ban abortion based on their beliefs
Yes but the right-wing news sites didn't know about that before hand, so I wasn't angry enough to stay away.
I assume they didn't made the whole advertisement of the movie based on that like Disney did with Lightyear just because they wanted to dab on the chuds
If (you) aren't bullshitting then it's because they didn't make a whole parade about it because they knew they'd make money. Lightyear just felt desperate, funny enough the kiss was going to be cut before the "Don't Say Gay" mess.
this is a cope, kys

Supposedly, the kiss wasn't even in the planning stages but was a later addition, which then was planned to be cut and the rest is as you said.

The movie is out dumbass
I'm not watching Minions 2 and couldnt find any site talking about it

The first movie literally had a gay kiss.
Disney shills out in full force
Scherzo out in full force, take some meds buddy
They've had a crossdressing/trans minion since the first movie.

you and all you other /misc/cels
lightyer didnt flop becaue muh GO WOKE GO BROKE HAHA AMIRITE
lightyear was a fricking flop because it was a dingy dirty brown and grey looking boring movie so kids didnt give a frick
minions are loud obnoxious bright and colofurl so kids want to see it
kids dont give a frick about agendas or politics you fat fricking moron
kids don't do, but their parents do. When they saw Disney shilling against the anti-groomer law they decided they don't want their kids watching stuff made by groomer supporters.
you are just like those homosexuals on Cinemaphile going 'we did it Cinemaphile we made the TORtanic sink!'
frick off, Chris Evans. Tim Allen was a better Buzz than you'll ever be.
People simultaneously over- and underestimate how similar /misc/ is to the real world.
Is the average parent on /misc/ going “gas the israelites race war now,” screeching about White genocide and israeli degeneracy? No, they’re not. However, regarding the specific issue of gay stuff being pushed on kids, that’s one area where /misc/ aligns with your average normie. Lightyear 100% flopped because of the gay crap, and Disney is suffering for the same reason
>dingy dirty brown
I hope this is your subconscious self-awareness, if not you're a coping troony
It didn't flop because of teh ghey. Teh ghey would have drawn in tons of gheygays in Pride Month. The fact that they advertised it solely on the basis, and as 'teh first gay lady kiss eber!!' probably turned some people off, including some ghey, but most of that is because of 'diverse' casting done on remakes of other things, which were done poorly, giving that a bad name. The majority of it was because of the deeper problem that plagues Hollyweewee; desperate cash grabs with shitty writing and needlessly grimdark or fatalistic writing.
Not that many people are homophobic these days, despite what the screeching lefty media and homophobic homosexuals like YoungRippa and Matt Walsh think also those c**ts need to get a fricking life it's just a movie.
Dude the minions had a gay kiss...between minions
Who the frick would want to see that Lightyear movie.
Black lesbians?
Go woke, get broke. Go Minion, earn 129.2 million.
heheheheheheheheheheh
Because kid's movies are supposed to be fun.
>are parents schizos like the rest of us? No, but
have a nice day before God does
Sorry anon, my post had a typo. I deleted it and fixed it, too slow I guess
(This anon is responding to
)
Because Minions knows its target demo. Lightyear is made for nobody.
why can't they just make Despicable Me 4?
I want to see how the story ends
They are, it’s coming out in two years
Minions copied a winning formula.
crossover when?
Those guys copied Gummy Bear.
how?
I think he means this Gummy Bear.
how?
Rabbids had a good revival with the mario + rabbids games.
Wait.
Mario, Rabbids.
Mario movie, Minions.
FRICK!
This is forbidden knowledge anon, they must jot meet each other
Ubisoft should just embrace the memes and make a crossover game. They're both French studios too
Imagine Mario + Rabbids + Minions the Movie by Illumination with a tie-in Kingdom Battle game. It would make 50 billion fricking dollars.
As a brand, Illumination has the cache that Disney/Pixar used to have: parents can trust their output implicitly. I don't want to knock Pixar for wanting to expand the scope of their offering or being political, but brand confusion and polarizing the market are natural risks.
Illumination also did some effective, months-long guerilla marketing with the soundtrack on social media. Apparently these were popular on Tiktok. It's a case of synergy actually working as intended.
Pixar arrogantly thought they new what audiences wanted. What people really want is to be sold a simple, easily digestible product that makes them feel good for buying it. That’s why Andy Warhol became the richest artist ever.
Why are people arguing about trannies in a fricking Minions thread? The homies don't even have dongs.
/misc/ has this weird thing where they slap a random piece of media and say "this is on my team now"
>Can’t accept kids and adults like minions better than lightyear
>Muh /misc/
Take your meds..
That's not a /misc/ thing, that's an "Americans in general" thing.
Which is why American media is so shit nowadays.
It's become a battleground for politically-obsessed autists.
>muh /misc/
Anon, there is literally a troony board. Not everything is the fault of the board that lives rent free in your head.
Sure thing election refugee
>Kiki a /misc/tard
That makes too much sense.
Disney is trying to make people hate minions by saying it is trans propaganda because the minions like to cross dress and is played as a joke.
They are very upset Lightyear bombed.
Because it has fun alien looking characters which light year didn’t have
I think there are a few reasons. Most people are not interested in Buzz Lightyear, astronaut. They're invested in Buzz Lightyear, the Toy. So, if they'd done another Toy Story movie it probably would have done fine.
Second, Disney kept dumping their Pixar movies on Disney+, including Turning Red, which was supposed to have a theatrical release. So, they've trained their audience to watch their movies on streaming.
In fact, I think that the success of Disney+ might be undermining Disney's box office returns, because it's become the place where you see Disney movies. I've literally heard stories of parents asking their kids if they wanted to see Lightyear, only for the kids to say, "Isn't that going on Disney Plus? Eh, I'll wait."
>Most people are not interested in Buzz Lightyear, astronaut. They're invested in Buzz Lightyear, the Toy.
lot's of people still remember this show fondly so that makes no sense
Well then they should have done an adaptation of that.
He looks just like the toy, just in 2D form.
That's because the show was actually fun.
A Buzz Lightyear movie with a tone more similar to the show would've probably done a lot better than the movie we got. Something simple funny and nostalgic, with a colorful retrofuturistic aesthetic, crazy cartoonish action and tons of fun alien character designs. Not sure why they ever thought people would be interested in "realistic" Buzz LIghyear film. Is it because of how much they hate the show?
>Buzz LIghyear film. Is it because of how much they hate the show?
seems they wanted to start from 0 so they couldn't get compared to the series or any other spinoff.
Because there’s literally no other animated movie worth watching right now
and Lightyear looks like a bore.
>Lightyear has full settings, barely has space stuff, and has unremarkable side characters.
>Minions is loud, colorful, and obnoxious but will get a child’s attention fast.
Gee OP, it’s a mystery.
NO
BLACK
LESBIANS
Minions are bad but they are optimized to make money
I don't think you understand how much kids absolutely fricking love minions
The kids that love minions would be adults by now.
And since they grew up on them they now love minions and will take their incoming kids to see Minions. Even more bank.
>Movie that's targeted to kids vs Movie that's targeted to no one
If lightyear had the LGM and had some family friendly alien adventures the movie would have actually sold well.
Minions actually appeal to kids, lightyear appeals to nobody.
They did what lightyear didn't
They picked an audience.
In this case, children.
I read the thumbnail as "abort us"
Lightyear was boring a couldn't grasp neither adults or children, meanwhile Minions appeal to the lowest common denominator, the minions are safe and make kids laugh, enough to make money
It’s easy and straightforward to take your kids to. Minions as a kids film is basically just a two hour babysitter with goofs and a simple story to entertain. The more grown up aesthetics and complex plot of Lightyear may not gel with the really little kids, and any added controversy from the gay kiss but will inevitably put off some portion of the audience that just wants something uncomplicated.
minions was just chinese market bait
the china town theme was good for a 70s setting but you only had 1 maybe 2 actual chinese characters in the movie at all and the 1 chinese lady was 20 minutes of the movie for about 2 minutes of resolution towards the end, could have done a whole lot more with chinatown in san fran but squandered it
I honestly dont think these movie are well written or directed even compared to hotel translyvannia
they just cruise on children and olds who love minions
I wouldn't even say this is good enough to be a theatrical movie, this is basically made for tv/streaming
side note, maybe lightyear failed for not being a movie about woody instead of buzz
Minions: Safe and basic entertainment, not so mind-blowing, harmless trash.
Lightyear: Woke propaganda trash, boring like a preech and long like Endgame. Interestelar plagiarism.
I don't like minions, but I despite sjw shit way more than those yellow gays.
Because the little shits are funny and they represent a normality from pre-pandemic that people were attracted to. Honestly it feels a bit good to see the annual Illumination film doing numbers, suggesting that theaters aren't dead and the world really isn't all that changed.
Lightyear on the other hand flopped because Disney represents the antithesis of that. It was marketed as changing a classic animated character with a dark tone, featured a gay kiss which eliminated a Republican audience, and was too different from Pixars typical faire. Wasn't what people wanted to see the summer after the pandemic. People want feel good, classic action, comfortable, even patriotic movies. It's why Top Gun, Jurassic World and Elvis did so well too.
>Because the little shits are funny and they represent a normality from pre-pandemic that people were attracted to.
It was also the last covid hold out. People were probably itching to see it. It was originally supposed to be out in 2020. Universal spent 6m on a super bowl ad two years ago before it got delayed.
I bet Universal is happy they kept it for later. It's gonna make them a billion now rather than 400-500M it would've made a year ago. It also means the Mario movie will be a massive hit as well. It's probably why they pushed Migration to December next year so Mario can have that fourth of July weekend. Then they have Despicable Me 4 lined up the year after that. I'm sure Pixar is seething cause Illumination about to be making some serious bank.
>I bet Universal is happy they kept it for later
Yep, they admitted they kept from dumping it on Peawiener because they didn't want to cheapen the Illumination brand
Then you look at Turning Red, a flagship Pixar film, and it made only 20 million.
That sounds backwards. Shouldn't Disney be the ones to care more about their brand reputation than Illumination, the company known for doing the bare minimum to turn a quick profit?
That and corona taking a chunk of the infected's gray matter. Don't be surprised if by next year the entire US is speaking in Minionese.
Sounds based to me.
Can't be worse than the shit they already sound like fr fr no cap
The funny thing is that the crowd that approve or make shit like Lightyear sneer or scorn at media like Top Gun and the like BECAUSE they don't do those things in the first place. Almost like some people in Hollywood are actively waging war against the public at large.
Has anyone checked out the The Office parody they released a couple days ago? https://youtu.be/A4FMZpNNrzA
I think it's actually pretty impressive how they perfectly blend CG character with pre-existing live action footage.
Hope they upload a behind the scenes on that.
Migration moving to december will most likely help it just like it did Sing.
People are absolutely obessed with these moronic yellow midgets, its like asking why are people going to McDonalds every day instead of some other food.
they had a whole year to just budget marketing harder than it was going to do.
THERE IS A FRICKING MINIONS ZIP RECRUITER AD
the stupid suit meme on tiktok took off in only a few days.
this is probably be the most advertised animated movie ever made that isnt under disney money.
So Minions decide to advertise in a weird but viral way, and Disney thinks the best way to advertise is to say their movie has a homosexual kiss? What happened to Disney?
different goals.
franchise and licensing for disney regardless if 1 movie does bad, they will figure it out later in some sort of way. if it did bad as a movie or show tv show its probably doing well in another aspect since they havent made it a lost cause.
illuminations being "cheapest production objective for the most amount of profit" as they make the most algorithmically safe, max audience reaching garbage for the most amount of money movies ever. minions was a sticking icon in a era where no one's new ideas was sticking longer than they were projected so they arent about to ruin their movies with other shit, each movie is structured exactly the same.
Disney shit will buzz on social media keeping the topic in people's mouth and eyes whether you like it or not. illuminations will just sell minion merch and push promotions into everything else. they dont exactly have any other iconic brands, secret life of pets and sing is as generic as it gets.
While Minions sucks ass and ruined animation forever regarding all CGI movies having Minion ripoffs now, Lightyear looks like "Some fricking realistic guy - in 3D. Enjoy."
>Made almost as much money on Friday alone as Lightyear made in its entire weekend
Honestly, I hate Minions shit, but I do find this funny.
Either market to kids or market to nostalgia pandering, stop trying to market to both with the bland ugly shit that was Lightyear.
Lightyear was bad, but this is the future, safe animated movies that just optimize money to success, it seems like we lost either way
This is the future Americans wanted.
Can't do anything that might challenge the audience because it's offensive, can't do anything sexy because male gaze or some shit, can't do anything that might actually have something to say because "muh politics" or "muh not the right politics," can't do anything too violent because "muh animation is for kids."
Don't call it a grave.
This is the movie we’re propping up? It’s pure China pandering. Pixar, Dreamworks and Illumination is truly animation for Black person cattle.
The new Minions movie isn't even approved in China yet, the hell are you talking about?
The same reason 4 was crap. Nobody gives a shit about toy story anymore. Every moron loves the fricking minions, they're everywhere.
Toy Story 4 still made over a billion dollars. Nobody wanted this shit
Because Minions is for kids, not queer 20 somethings.
The only sane individual on Cinemaphile
>canonically, they’re going to ditch Gru for his slightly more evil brother
Man. That stings.
Trey Parker but it pretty well in this interview, if you just pitch voices kids will love it. Same worked with Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Back when you had C-cassettes and you found out that you could change the pitch of the songs by gently pressing forward, didn't you find it super fun? I did that shit for hours because I wanted to hear every song with that "chipmunk voice". So it's the same with Minions, Crazy Frog etc.
Remember Chucky, the possessed doll from those horror movies? Imagine someone made a Chucky movie that was actually about the Good Guys Dolls, the fictional franchise that the Chucky doll was merchandise for.
Who would such a movie be for? Who would want that?
That's the problem Light-year had. It would legitimately have had stronger consumer pull as a standalone youth-oriented animated sci-fi movie, instead of a Toy Story spin-off.
