More of a "Poochie" gag re: the story-by-committee feel of the whole thing.

ie "This is a 'character'. His character attribute is that he 'explodes'." Now that's some screenwriting.

Looks pretty typical of the Sony Pictures Animation brand. Nice expensive production values, totally flat story.

I got that vibe from Black and Yellow, but you know trailers. Rio was the same way with the main bird having the only personality. The girl was pretty much just girl and the villain was pretty much evil.
At least Red seems like an interesting character. Hopefully Yellow isn't just that he is a manic pixie character and Black is the big, lovable oath.

Thought this brand was dead.

That is problem with making a movie out of an iOS game by the game the "hype" is gone your movie is done.

 

[fedexpeon]

This looks good.
I hope it teaches kids on how to manage their inability to express their frustration and anger in a calmer and safe way.

 

[roknin]

It wasn't that bad. Like I wouldn't go out and see it, but if i got dragged to it I wouldn't hate my life.

Yeah, same. It didn't look terrible as I expected, and probably will have some entertainment value.

Not going out of my way to see it or anything, though.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

the animation is great.

The studio behind the film does SFX for all sorts of films, but especially Sony's normal animated output (just the animation for those films, a different studio handles production). They're also credited for 2012, Alice in Wonderland, Beowulf, Winter Soldier, Godzilla, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Matrix, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, and all of the Spider-Man movies.

 

[Tygamr]

Looks slightly above your average animated movie. Doesn't look horrible, but not amazing either. The animation actually looks pretty nice.

 

[CaptNink]

More proof that God is dead.

 

[Lijik]

looks exactly what i expected
Great animation by SPA, mediocre everything else

Dont really get the overly negative posts though. Have yall somehow gone through life never seeing a mediocre animated trailer before? Its hard to work up ire for this, its dime a dozen

 

[Tunavi]

holy shit this doesnt come out until MAY 2016

has a pretty top notch cast though

 

[Markoman]

So this is really happening? My question to all quantum physicists on GAF:
How long will it take to establish portals to parallel dimensions?

 

[Nephtes]

How long till Peter Dinklage is replaced with Nolan North in Angry Birds Year 2.0? Amirite?

Spoiler

someone else probably made this joke in the previous 3 pages huh?

 

[Vital Tundra]

If this came out 5 years ago....

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I hate the brand and the mobile games, but I can't muster up much negative to say about this trailer. Seems like your generic CGI kids movie that'll have some moderately funny moments mixed in with some cringe worthy humor.

Points gained by using Micheal Jackson in the trailer.

 

[EulaCapra]

That was a terrible trailer. Nothing happened for like the last 35 seconds.

But at least it wasn't annoying as some other Sony Animation movies. And that's saying a lot.

 

[Skidd]

has a pretty top notch cast though

So does the Ratchet & Clank movie, both Sony movies. Curious to see how well that is going to do against this.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

the cg looks pretty great

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

So, It's basically an Adam Sandler movie?

 

[Thewonandonly]

This was the catchy-new-thing back in 2010. Now we live in the Minecraft age.

ehh i got something to tell you. but minecraft is hopefully going to be a good movie because its written and directed by mac from sunny.

 

[Fitts]

Lol at Danny McBride phoning it in super hard.

 

[MrCunningham]

This movie could get the dubious honour for being one of the best Hollywood video game movie adaptions to date and it could still suck hard.

 

[CountAntonius]

I liked the trailer. Feel it's a few years too late as kids seem to have moved on from the franchise but maybe it will reinvigorate the brand,

If this was a Clash of Clans movie trailer, kids would be losing their minds.

 

[EBE]

Honestly? Looks alright.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Was honestly expecting more out of this. Angry Birds could serve as a really cool animated franchises imo but this didn't make me giggle even once.

 

[Sponge]

Sony's animation is some of the best I see nowadays. Hotel Transylvania, Cloudy, and this all look visually nice. I can't stand any of the writing in these films though. This one looks like it'll be more of the same.

 

[KevinCow]

The voices don't match these characters at all.

 

[Xane]

Feathers.

 

[fluffydelusions]

 

[Marche90]

Doesn't look half bad, to be honest. At least it made me chuckle.

However, SUMMER 2016? Hope the brand doesn't lose what little steam has left by then, otherwise it will be DOA.

 

[cireza]

All those animated movies look the same.

 

[Htown]

it's not overtly awful, but it's not actually funny either

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Nah, I'm good.

 

[Joey Ravn]

I was going to say something snarky... But Peter Dinklage. The guy. The poor guy.

Edit: Ah, fuck it. Angry Dinks.
