totally forgot this movie

 

[terribletwo]

Book of Life is SUPER weird because I keep seeing it places like at the pediatrics office or random restaurants that show movies. But i have no idea when it came out and never heard of it before seeing it randomly

also beowulf ranks among some of the worst movies ever made*
*for movies that appeared in theathers with a budget

 

[ChrisD]

Megamind getting a shout-out so early in the thread. <3 that movie.

 

[Epcott]

This is no way counts...



If you'd bother to look through the thread, you'd have the answer...

Ha I missed it. Ok...

Star Wars: Clone Wars

(I forgot it had a cinematic release)

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

So forgettable, I forgot your post!

 

[-Gozer-]

Wait...what?!?!

Well it goes without saying they didn't use any of the lyrics. I was really surprised when I heard it.

I beat you succa! &#128541;

You don't bother to even bother to read a few posts previous? &#128512;

I liked this movie enough to buy it on Blu-Ray. (but then I own over 1000 Blu-Ray so take that for what you will).

and someone else posted it even earlier Next time actually type out the name instead of just a picture for easier searching

Still, other than a few of us that this left a great impression on, it still seems to be largely forgotten sadly.

Yep, looked up that same video, WTF Disney...lol

 

[chaobreaker]

I made it a game to find that one guy or gal who is especially looking smug or looking disapprovingly to the Protagonist's shenanigans in all these CG movie posters.

You can can get a good idea what these films are about just by the posters alone. They're all so very formulaic.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Chicken Run

 

[chiimisu]

Chicken Run

That was claymation, not CGI.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Rango and Tintin are both remembered for being good movies.

Plus there's Rango breaking up the Pixar Oscar streak at the time.

 

[KHlover]

This one:

I'm having a hard time remembering the title and had to check wikipedia list one by one.

Shame. That one had some well placed adult jokes. Me and a friend watched it between lectures at noon, the only other visitors were a kindergarden class. Was great to see the glares from the adults at us as they had to dodge the question from the kids why us two just laughed

 

[DonMigs85]

One weird thing about Rango was the size of the animals relative to each other. You had tiny cats and a huge rattlesnake.

 

[Discotheque]

Plus there's Rango breaking up the Pixar Oscar streak at the time.

it deserves an oscar over many pixar movies tbh. incredible visuals from ILM with a great eye behind it from verbinski/roger deakins.

 

[cyberheater]

My Votes go for.

Also I don't remember liking or hating this film but no ones mentioned it yet.

All good movies.

 

[KHlover]

Deservedly forgotten, in fact the JonTron review is the only way this movie should ever be experienced.

 

[chiimisu]

My Votes go for.

Damn, Megamind was really good. Jokes, music, characters - it has everything. Maybe a bit lacking in character design and overall visuals departments, but still very, very good. Definitely had a lot more fun with it than with Despicable Me with its LOVE KIDS WHY DON'T YOU LOVE KIDS YOU FUCK angle :/ I don't know, maybe it has something to do with Megamind being "Despicable Me ripoff" as it came out later the same year. No such easily marketable characters as Minions played its role as well, I think.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Animated movies have been on an upswing the past few years with excellent entries from Disney, Pixar, and maybe some other guys.

Masterful lol

Somebody beat me to Free Birds, but how about this?

The Rock. Gary Oldman. John Cleese.

This spanish piece of shit
They are also making a new one about space, with similar human designs that is releasing this august. Saw the trailer during Inside Out and had this mediocre feeling all over it.

They also made an even worse movie called Tadeo Jones, that made a fucking bank here (sadly), because it had a shitty spanish pop song as main theme and commercials on TV at every hour (cause it had a TV channel producing the thing). It got meddling reviews, calling it the best animated spanish film (thats how low is the bar), becuase we have to applaud the effort just becuase its from our home country.
Internationally, its called Tad the Explorer, and nobody knows shit about it and has horrible reviews. Thats how bad it is.

Look, I know being a spaniard and coming from animation at the Fine Arts university it would be best to defend my home country in the animated movie sector. But I just cant, they are all crap, dreamworks wannabes, when we have incredible artists and storytellers that flee to other countries to get better animation jobs (we have a bunch of spaniartds working at Disney, Pixar and other studios, and most of the time they apepar on the making offs beause they are pretty important there).

One weird thing about Rango was the size of the animals relative to each other. You had tiny cats and a huge rattlesnake.

Its even worse. The sizes to the world itself are also atrocious and characters change sizes when needed like Godzilla 98. It took me out of the movie.

Plus there's Rango breaking up the Pixar Oscar streak at the time.

Nah, that would be Happy Feet against Cars 1.
If pixar doesn't win a year is becuase they send a Cars movie or nothing at all.
In fact, Brave needed to lost against Wreck it Ralph but it won that year. Im pretty sure the studio was even surprised with the outcome.

 

[Takao]

I'm pretty sure Foodfight will live on in infamy.

 

[Kurita]

Chicken Run

That was claymation, not CGI.

And it's a classic movie on top of that, what the hell

 

[Demy]

What the blue fuck is this?

Anyway, Hotel Transylvania was fun and probably the last anything good we'll see out of Adam Sandler ever

And just for lols, here

 

[SpaceCadetKeon]

Aww, she's adorable.

I used to see ads for this movie everywhere around that Easter.

 

[DOWN]

I kinda like Zemeckis's Beowulf. It was refreshing to see a high budget CGI movie that wasn't kiddie fare. Been eight years since and nobody has tried to do that again since, lol. I guess Avatar is as close as it got.

I sure as heck didn't forget that one. That's one of the slickest movies to come out at the time.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I remember being excited for robots -- i really likedthe style, and robin williams, but was disappointed once i saw it. Kind if boring and too many dumb jokes for me.

Edit: I nominate Flushed Away. CG film made to look stop motion, Aardman style. Enjoyed the villian and the French Frogs.

Flushed Away is insanely good. Only saw it this year on Netflix and loved it. We've watched it at least a dozen times since!

 

[foxuzamaki]

now im not saying you're wrong, but... according to rotten tomatoes, it has a 74%

Have to stop you right there, when is 74% considered bad?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Aww, she's adorable.

.

She comes from a german storybook that was later (1975) made into a german-japanese cooproduction, famous in all europe.

This type of japanese cooproduction was made all around europe, for example spain got Dogtognian and Around the world with Willy fog, Italy got Sherlock Holmes, etc...

Shame. That one had some well placed adult jokes. Me and a friend watched it between lectures at noon, the only other visitors were a kindergarden class. Was great to see the glares from the adults at us as they had to dodge the question from the kids why us two just laughed

So...what's the joke?

 

[Myzer]

 

[foxuzamaki]

Surprised this wasn't mentioned on NeoGAF

is this real

 

[Ullus]

I love this movie, got shit on by critics, but for a little kid, it is great.

Saw that at a screening, film broke 3 times before they finally got it to work. Thats all I remember from it.

 

[KHlover]

So...what's the joke?

Idk it's been 2 years. Watch the movie

 

[stryke]

It comes out the week before Civil War. It's going to fall into this category regardless of quality.

Holy shit haha they're fucked.

 

[Ampersands]

 

[MrBadger]

Has Astro Boy been mentioned yet? He wears a shirt in this one

 

[Deft Beck]

Has Astro Boy been mentioned yet? He wears a shirt in this one

What's even funnier about this movie is that its production company ended up getting auctioned off a couple of years ago.

Lots of good and bad picks in this thread. Some new movies to check out!

 

[Son Of D]

Okay I'll try again.

Featuring William Shatner as Puss in Boots. I think it was called The True Story of Puss in Boots in the U.S.

 

[Kinyou]

This one:

I'm having a hard time remembering the title and had to check wikipedia list one by one.

Actually an ok movie. Just such a goddamn awful title

 

[Turin Turambar]

Rango was good what are you talking about man

Did he say it was bad? No.

The thread is about forgotten movies, not about bad movies. And Rango never got mainstream popularity. (technically, we could say it wasn't forgotten as it wasn't known in the first place!)

 

[A Link to the Past]

It's a shame because it was a really good movie. Loved the ultra-realistic styles.

 

[Xun]

A few gems in this thread, but it's mostly filled with shit.

 

[Currygan]

okay, that Ronal poster and Banquedo movies cracked me up. Ratatoing is highly mesmerizing in its crappiness

I believe it's an italian movie

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

okay, that Ronal poster and Banquedo movies cracked me up. Ratatoing is highly mesmerizing in its crappiness

Precisely!

 

[D.Lo]

This thread is crazy. I have literally never heard of half of these.

 

[Coreda]

Chicken Run

Already mentioned as stop motion by others but this reminds me when I met Nick Park at one of the screenings when I was younger. His stop motion films are something special and I told him of my fondness for his stop motion shorts. He gave me Aardman's address. I wrote him a letter and he responded with a letter back I was beaming.

 

[Yrael]

Oh god, I've just remembered these rip-offs...do these count? (Possibly not in terms of Internet fame, though I haven't seen them mentioned for a while.) They're from Video Brinquedo, a Brazilian animation studio that does nothing more than make cheap CGI knock-offs of Pixar and Dreamworks movies.

They're...quite something.

 

[Beartruck]

A few people have mentioned Hoodwinked, but what about Hoodwinked Too?

I actually had a speaker come to my college trying to brag about how he worked on this film, painting very blatant movie references in it as though they were a sign of intelligent scripting and plotting. It took a lot of willpower to not laugh in his face.

 

[Epcott]

Technically, it's direct to video, but Fios seems to be pushing this hard this month.

 

[Herne]

I really liked that one. I'm pretty sure most didn't, though.
