Why?

because capitalism is a monster machine that feeds on blood

Hm. The toys must have sold well.

>>90311504

i dont mind a movie that sell toys, but that movie should tell a good story first. THEN sell toys.

Did great at the box office, that's why.

I liked Trolls, fuck you.

>>90311504
At least Timberlake's stupid song didn't win an Oscar, seeing them hype 'Oscar Award Winning' would have been too much

Because money?

why the fuck do you hate the movie anyway you bitter cunt

Did you even seen the movie? It was pretty good.

>>90311696
Great visuals, aweful everything elses.

>>90311650
I can only hope

>>90311696

That really doesn't matter. Dreamworks bases a films success on merchandising and foreign gross as much as domestic.

As long as two out of the three are good, Boom. Sequel. Then a Netflix show. Then a Christmas special on NBC.

>>90311729

yes i did, and loved the visuals. but the story was smurfs episode nr #2345 with decent songs thrown in.

>>90311760
The "story" of most animated films are simplistic as fuck. "It's about the emotions inside your head" or "It's about the secret life of toys".

As long as the execution is good, doesn't matter if the story was a basic adventure tale.

And the movie was surprisingly alright

everything is just so fuzzy, and warm, and pleasant looking.

and deadly as fuck

>>90311504
Because Dreamworks wants to be a franchise machine, just because they haven't had a movie do well enough to pick up a sequel in a while now doesn't mean they aren't always hoping for a new one.

they expect people to still care about that shit in 3 years?

not anymore.

>>90311964
Dreamworks is just sort of stuck in a situation where what is considered good doesn't make money and what isn't considered good does make money.
They're not in the best position financially, so if they find something that makes money they got to try and get more out of it.
It's not like Pixar who get to do whatever they want and only need to print money with a Cars every so often.

>>90311534
i work at walmart and cant believe how well they have sold and are selling.

>>90312067

Poor Pixar. Lasseter is the only one in the company who even likes Cars.

>>90312068

Are you guys any better at restocking Transformers than mine?

>>90312067
Didn't Rise of the Guardians almost bankrupt them when it didn't make enough money?

I know they had to lay off people.

>>90311504

>>90311939
better than the fucking Disturbed ver

>>90312129
The first one was genuinely made with love. 2 wasn't.

>>90312134
I think the failure of Penguins was the biggest hit, leading to them shutting down an animation studio.

>>90312129
Probably not. We have one toys associate atm. The others all quit simultaneously. Things are about to go to shit. Lucky I'm a cashier

>>90312188
Penguins was more of a success than RoG. Smaller budget, plus it made more.

I literally heard or know nothing about this movie other than it happened. Was there even troll merchandise that sold?

>>90311504
Eh,it alright.And at least it's not the Emoji Movie

>>90312208

Sounds like mine, all right.

>>90312134
They underperformed for like, five films in a row. Guardians, Turbo, Peabody. Home and Penguins. But they already made Netflix deals prior to that, so they had to make TV series based on some of those properties which do much better than their movies do. Despicable Me 2 and Minions made more money than all those movies combined. Can you blame Dreamworks for being creatively frustrated but caught in a financial pickle?

Like 95% of the reason they rebooted trolls was to sell toys.
DWA really caught the merch bug after Dragons so a lot of what they do now is to sell toys.
To the point where they cancelled Croods 2 because while the first movie made a good enough profit to warrant a sequel, it wasn't very marketable.

2020? That's like 20 years away!

>>90312382
They're basically surviving on their once-good, established franchises at this point

Kendrick is a great voice actress

Its one of Dreamworks most visually stunning films and had some pretty good jokes. I fully expected a Netflix series before a sequel though.

>>90311504
Come on, seriously? Trolls was one of the weakest big budget animated films I've seen in a long time. The characters were weak, the story was weak, and nothing was funny. Just garbage. It didn't even make that much money at the box office.

>>90311504
THE MONEY BABY

>>90312010
Shut the fuck up anon, I've been hyped about this for years.

>>90312269
But it was still considered an disapointment

It's why they where trying to find a buyer for the longest time. It was going to be Hasbro until Disney bullied them out of doing it, so now Comcast owns 2 animation studios in Dreamworks and Illumination

>>90311720
So were they trying to be ironic making a Trolls movie and having the antagonists be a race of genuine trolls?

>>90312269
Penguins was hilarious. It might not be the strongest in story but I laughed hard.

I would be a liar if I didn't say JT killed it during that true colors scene.

>>90311504
Why didn't they use a vector where Branch is blue? Are they worried about spoiling a kids movie that came out months ago?

>>90316677
Maybe he turns gray again? Depression never truly leaves, even if you got a cute queen riding your dick daily.

>>90311504
Already!?
Didn't this film just came out last year their already planning a sequel?!

>>90316952
Anon, most studios make plans for potential sequels even before a film is released. Hell, usually sequels are announced while the film is still in theaters.

>>90317053
Avatar had like five sequels green-lit from the get go.

>>90318256
I thought those were being made out of James Cameron's spite.

>>90318256
Which is fucking insane since it's taken so long to make the second film that no one is going to care when it does come out.

>>90311534
>>90312068
But the movie was based on toys already! Why would they waste money on another movie when they could just sell more toys? Does the movie actually make more people want to buy toys?

>>90311696

I honestly think it's cancelled and no one wants to admit it.

>>90311534
This, I work in a toy store and we're always refilling the aisle the Trolls are in.

>>90311534
They must have, cause I havent seen those things at shelves.

>>9031150

Why the 4-year wait? If the first one was that successful, wouldn't they want to rush out a sequel as quickly as possible?

>>90311504
This movie was dumb as shit, but I'd be lying if it wasn't one of the most aesthetically pleasing animated films of the year

>That glorious color composition
>Soft ass textures on everything
>Weird and whimsical, but at times unsettling monster designs

One question though, did anyone else find it weird as shit how the Trolls seemed to age closer to people while the Bergens seem to have an extended period of adolescence?

>>90311685
Finally get a Gorillaz song in a movie, it's one of their first songs with "fuck" in it. Good job.

>>90311819
Not gonna lie this was my amp up song before work in retail for like a month.

I actually found the first one fine, the worst part was the awful awful remixes used in the first 20% of the film. Once they dropped those everything was okay.

An amusing family film that wasn't overly heavy-handed in any direction.

It was an alright movie actually. Story was generic as all hell, but the visuals were spectacular and the music was tolerable.

Although I can't see how they can make a sequel, the original tied things up pretty neatly. Hell, that guy Troll isn't even gray anymore.

That is a wasted song.

>>90311753
and if it was 2010, a show on Nick!

>>90325965
I don't think they liked working with Nick.
They just sort of lost a bunch of episodes that they didn't get to showing until years later.

i like the movie

>>90311596

It made $339 million worldwide on a budget of $125 million; that's really not that great and is less than either Shark Tale or Over The Hedge. Merchandising/toy sales is probably what's behind it.

>>90316766
Branch changing colors was supposed to be a big "reveal" (even tho it was obv it was going to happen) so a lot of promotional art was with the grey design. But then execs changed their minds way too late and revealed it in the first trailer, so all the merch is a weird combo of grey and colorful branch . Same reason why there's like 4 official logos

>>90311504
Same reason that Chipmunks and Smurfs are getting sequels, unfortunately there's a market for crappy CG flicks. Though there's probably some jewish accounting involved too.

Branch should have stayed Gray, his comedy was the thing that made the whole "everything is glittersparkles" bearable.
