Do we have another pixar/disney movie slated for this year?

When I saw the trailer I immediately thought about how it will get nominated for an oscar and then lose to the mouse.

>>80760554

I don't want to believe this...but yet I still do.

>>80760554
I don't give a shit if other people don't like what I like. Who cares?

All I want is for Kubo to be good and for Laika to make enough money to keep doing what they're doing.

Will it be as bad as Box Trolls?

>>80760749
Finding Dory

>>80760749
>Zootopia
>Finding Dory
>Moana
Yea I don't think Kubo is going to have a chance.
Annies maybe since they actually give more of a shit

>>80760749
Will lose to Zootopia or Moana. Finding Dory will flop critically

This year has potential for being both great and terrible for animation.

>>80761242
Trolls is definitely going to kill Dreamworks.

>>80761242

Really hoping Ratchet and Clank is good.

>>80761291

Trolls really? FFS Dreamworks did you guys lose a bet or something?

>>80761242
>Trolls

What the shit dick are Trolls still going?

Why not title it something that would actually bring in audiences? Kubo and the Two Strings? Really

And I bet the marketing will be lackluster or nonapparent too, but even so people on here will lament "dumb" audiences not going out to see a foreign-titled, poorly marketed "masterpiece" like its our fault they didnt have the conifidence/money to market their own thing appropriately

>>80761345
I bet Trolls will be merely bad or mediocre. That awful teaser didn't tell us anything about the story. It doesn't necessarily represent the movie well. It's just trying to force itself into your face like the afro circus commercials did.

I still won't see it though.

Whipping and Nay-Naying.

>>80761466
I don't know anything about marketing or naming things. "Kubo and the Two Strings" seems fine to me, especially when the two strings are part of a magic instrument. What would you name it?

>>80761345
I really hope so too. I've always wanted a Ratchet and Clank movie.

>>80761466
I don't give a shit if people would rather watch diarrhea like Trolls and Ice Age, I'll watch Kubo and I'll enjoy it. And the great thing is it's Laika and they do not need money. Ever.

>>80760554
And this is better why?

>>80761630
Actually, his instrument has three strings. I'm guessing it refers to his companions, in a play on words.

>>80761660
>it's Laika and they do not need money

Probably will be great tier:
Kubo and the Two Strongs

Hopefully will be great tier:
Moana

Hopefully will be watchable tier:
Finding Dory
Ratchet and Clank

Will be mediocre at best tier:
The Secret Life of Pets
Storks
Ice Age 5
The Angry Birds Movie

Will be absolute shit tier:
Trolls
Sing

I don't know anything about this tier:
Animal Crackers

>>80761717
Guy who owns Laika is the son of the guy who owns Nike. I think it's Nike anyway. One of those colossal shoe companies.

>>80761630
Kubo and the Totally Bitchin' Guitar.

>>80761717
Guy in charge of Laika is the son of the president of Nike. Daddy just throws money at Laika so his son can make movies regardless of how much money they make.

>>80761563
This movie was LITERALLY made for people born between 2000 and 2005

Yeah the dad's the chairman of the company, plus the films are making profits just not the kind that big studios are interested in.

>>80760554
That's because Angry Birds has a wholesome message about invading muslims showing up, destroying everything, and the one guy noticing it setting out to smash them for it
I'm not kidding watch the trailer

Yeah it's weird he tired his hand at being a wigger rapper in the 90's. But he has a passion for stop motion and doesn't want to see it die so he runs the studio and is lead animator on the films.

Yeah the trailer gives off that "cheap nostalgia bait" feeling

>>80760554
That's just the world we live in, OP. Angry Birds is based on an incredibly popular mobile game. I think a lot of people don't even know this exists yet.

>>80761757
I'd bump R&C up oe tier, but otherwse this list seems pretty solid

>>80761944
its not

>>80762000
According to my mom (who is 55) they were popular sometime around her childhood (maybe a little after she was grown?)

So yeah, best way to appeal to the 45-55 demographic is to play meme music

Animal Crackers actually looks kinda interesting

>>80760554
While My Guitar Gently Weeps really fits then

>>80764067
They were still well-known things even after their initial popularity. My sister had one. They didn't drop off the face of the earth like pet rocks did.

>>80761096
Fun fact about Laika. No matter what really happens, they'll always have a budget since the CEO is the son of the CEO of Nike.

Thanks nepotism for once!

>>80765984
Other people in the thread have mentioned that, but I appreciate it. It's cool and good to know.

I might just see this in theaters. I tend not to. I'm usually a pirating asshole, but I want to show Laika my appreciation (even if they don't need it).

>>80766244
Its actually kind of cool, since the guys dad helped fund his sons dream, and its succeeded greatly.
>>80766271
I try to see all of Laikas stuff in the theaters, and if I can't, I usually buy the BD's.

I feel like you're trying too hard by using both of these. You'd be more successful with a little more subtlety.

>>80762378
The West has absolutely no faith in animation as an industry and still sees it as the thing they make their kids watch while they're in the other room doing laundry. It's sad that animation is decades older than video games and yet video games has all but shaken off the just for kids stigma.

>>80762622
>Why would the Muslims be pigs?

Because the movie is being bankrolled entirely by Rovio, who are a bunch of Finns who give zero fucks.

It's hard to claim that the original game had any allegorical intentions, but the narrative of the movie has some pretty convincing parallels to the current situation of the Muslim "refugee" situation in Europe.

There's nothing wrong with modern CGI. No traditional animation is really sad, but there's no reason to shit on CGI.

I'm not against CGI as a whole, mind you. Just disappointed that this is all we have coming this year.

What I don't understand is why they started their advertising campaign in January on TV. It comes out in August.

Real talk, why aren't there any big 2D movies being made? Is it mainly a matter of production cost or of audience taste? Are we ever going to see a resurgence of traditional animation in the future or is it forever relegated to small budget stuff?

>>80761757
I'm not convinced about Moana. It really seems like Disney/pixar can only come out with one really good movie a year and I think they blew it on zootopia. Furry or not.
