I wish I could say there's something in this that I could be optimistic about, even if it's just the lighting, but no. No this just looks horrible on every level.

why are emojis a thing, when emoticons have existed all these millenium, and they werent an obscure term?

>>88604413
I dunno, trademarks and shit.

>>88604191
I want to shake the hand of the marketing guy who got this poster approved. Because this is a clear as day warning that the movie is shit.

>>88604191

>>88604191
The Emoji Movie opens the door for a whole new level of creative bankruptcy.

I want a movie that's just about dad jokes. I want an entire movie about a dad who sits at the dinner table reading a newspaper for 2 hours telling shitty dad jokes to anyone who passes by.

And I want it to star the entire cast of the Big Bang Theory and I want the poster to just be a pair of raised eyebrows and I want it to be from the executive assistants of the producers who brought you Shrek.

Already did. In fact, I saw it when it premiered at Anime Expo and yes it's a fucking masterpiece that deserves the Oscar for best picture.
However, the Academy's judges are fucking clueless when it comes to animation since they don't take it seriously thanks to movies like the Emoji Movie and will just go "Fuck it, just give it to the Disney movie again."

>>88605657
Oh, guess I'm jsut blind.

>>88605796
If anything, it was more to do with "I rather give it to someone I can pronounce" but anything Disney does is still better then The Emoji Movie.

I don't remember a brown ghost in pacman

>>88605960
I disagree. Especially when Disney nabs the best animated feature Oscar pretty much every year.

As long as it's not The Emoji Movie nobody will care.

>>88606032
Best Animated Feature was created by the Academy just to be Disney's ghetto, why is anyone still surprised by this

>>88604413
Emoji were invented in Japan in the 80s. They are distinct from emoticons in that instead of being built from text characters like :^) , the little emoji pictures could be sent though SMS.

They provided much more versatility and recognizably. They only recently became popular worldwide with the proliferation of smart phones.

>>88605097
That is not correct - see this post

This is actually a pretty good strategy as not only will the SWAT team and EMTs arriving treble the audience but it'll be free marketing. The movie will trend, it'll be mentioned on hundreds of radio and television stations, there'll be edit wars on the Wikipedia page between the "it's a lone wolf/Islamic State have already claimed responsibility" guys, the works.

Is it fair to judge a movie from a one minute trailer?

>>88607639
Olive's got a nice ass

>>88607793
I feel that people are more judging it based on concept and the fact that it beat out much more promising movies.

>>88607692
I doubt anyone will want to go see a CG movie about musical animals after Sing, let alone one made in China by literally whos. I still want to fuck the protagonist though.

>>88607793
Film makers usually put their best scenes or most hooking moments in trailers to lure in potential viewers. If what everyone rightfully assumes is the best the movie has to offer doesn't hook you in, I think it's more than fair to judge the movie on its trailer.

This movie fills me with a vague, unidentifiable sense of disappointment.

I don't even know why that is or what I should be feeling.

>>88607209
Because Hollywood doesn't have the balls to make an animated movie for adults anymore since they've already indoctrinated average Western moviegoers into thinking that animation is just for kids.

What's taking so long for Sony to go bankrupt or at least their film department?

I did like Goosebumps and Don't Breath though.

this
30 seconds of the 60-second trailer are spent on "lol the meh emoji is apathetic" with a bottom-shelf poop joke at the end
that tells you all you need to know about how this is going to go

>>88607889

What about Sausage Party-oh wait, that was crude and vulgar just to go "Hey look this seems like another bland CGI film for kids but it's not lolololol.".

At least there's SOME hope of it kickstarting more adult-oriented animated films and eventually something in the vein of Heavy Metal or Ralph Bakshi.

>no-one wants to see another cheap, unimaginaive movie with low efforts of comedy!

If this is true, why did nobody see pic related, but a movie such as Minions grossed a billion?

Maybe the reality is that people are more likely to pay for cheap fun when it comes to animation than a film with more substance beyond pop culture references. The Emoji Movie could easily still be a hit regardless of what older audiences think of it.

You become an Academy voter just by being part of the film industry. Whether you're an actor, stuntman, editor, cinematographer, etc., you get to vote in the Academy in any category.

So yes, that means that most of the people who vote in the best animated feature award have no knowledge or interest in animation.

The Academy Awards are a total joke.

Every year you're basically watching 2 hours of Hollywood's film industry sucking each others dicks and handing out awards based on popularity and/or political correctness/ideology rather than having qualified film critics judge the movies fairly.

When a movie is that successful and culturally hits all the right chords and does that kind of box-office — for that movie not to be in over these two obscure freakin’ Chinese fuckin’ things that nobody ever freakin’ saw [an apparent reference to the Japanese film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, as well as the Irish film Song of the Sea]? That is my biggest bitch. Most people didn’t even know what they were! How does that happen? That, to me, is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.

Personally, it annoys me for following the recent trend of Disney making live-action remakes of all its animated classics.

There's this unacknowledged belief in american culture that having a movie rendition of something somehow legitimizes it. Makes it "real." It's as if the original animated versions weren't good enough, and need to be replaced.

As someone who believes that animation is a legitimate artform, this pisses me off. And that Disney is doing it to its own animated classics proves that it has no respect for the art it helped make great.

The producer explained it. Essentially, in Hollywood, in order to get a big budget movie greenlit, oftentimes execs mandate that one of the current big name actors have to star. And, at this point, there's only about six big name actresses with that notoriety, all white.

It doesn't have to be cheap, this shit will become a meme and that's what they're banking on. everybody who wants to talk about it will go see it.
also, animation can be very cheap, particularly when all you're modeling is faces with legs and a poop.
The fact that people are posting about this everywhere, negative or otherwise, proves it's a popular topic and garners interest. It's the same as those people who post clickbaity offensive videos and articles just to piss people off so they link it/repost it to share their rage. viral marketing and whatnot. 1,000s of negative reviews is still 1,000s of ticket sales.

It's a marketing angle. They would set up a snapchat of "Spidey" where people could get invited to and then get bound to the brand. THey did shit like that Amazing Spider-Man and every other big money movie.

All of these marketing ideas are always boring and indication of boundless uncreativeness. Sadly, they also seem to work.

>>88617415

That slide looks like the team presenting their "findings" were most likely internal to the production. It looks like glossing over to appease shareholders. An independent research firm would not have done something like this, because they would have no reason to.

Because no one cares. Why bother giving a shit when mouth breathers will go see it anyways?

Because Americans won't go see something that looks too "not American"

Knowing Disney it's gonna be made with ToonBoom like the rest of their 2-D animated TV shows. So basically it'll look like it's done in Flash.

I don't know, but a friend confirmed that 4chan itself is not blocked in china, though that was years ago

No it won't because it'll just be a shitty means we don't care for anymore. Pepe has lost all meaning now and the majority of people never heard of Boy's Club.

Because purple is a colour of homosexuality and we don't want people to think that gay people can be evil.

Sony doesn't know what the fuck it's doing.

They didn't know what the fuck they are doing with Spider-man. They don't know what the fuck to do with other Superheroes they have rights on such as Silver Sable. They didn't know what the fuck they were doing with Ghostbusters, I am almost sure Paul Fag conned them.

They are so incompetent they gave Emoji movie a go over Genndy's Popeye.

You literally can't be a bigger fuck up than Sony.

More likely because they want to release their own line of Emojis you can buy "based on the movie".
