Nicholas Cage does not seem properly insane. What a waste...

 

[Azure Dream]

Do you honestly believe they made her hair red after seeing the Brave trailer or something? I mean feature animation usually takes 4-5 years to produce.

It's a crime they didn't stick with this art style.

 

[SmithnCo]

Yeah. The CG style they went with doesn't do the concepts justice. Shame.

I'd have watched this

Spoiler

and complained about the giant head on that Sabertooth

The rest is unpleasing to my eye.

 

[zoukka]

Thanks for reminding me of the worst character design ever.

I dunno. I feel like this would look just as bad in 3D. The girls face is poorly constructed and the inflatable tiger head would probably look jarring in motion, as cute as it might seem in concepts.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Wow. A lot of negativity in this thread. I liked what I saw. Will be seeing this in theatres.

 

[Data West]

Do the people who think this is a Brave knockoff think that Brave is just How to Train Your Dragon with red hair?

Because that makes as much sense.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Yeah I think it looks much more interesting than Brave.

 

[zoukka]

Animated features used to have standards.

Oh come on, how can we judge it when it hasn't even been released yet?

The Flintstones. *hums Simpsons theme instead*

I'm only referring to style here.

CUT TO:

Scullibundo tying James Cameron to this thread somehow.

(I have no idea what Prometheus has to do with this subject)

 

[trinest]

To be honest the most app comparsent this could have is Ice Age with people.

 

[Klyka]

Why were there fireworks???

 

[Femmeworth]

Yeah I think it looks much more interesting than Brave.

In what ways?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

In what ways?

The sense of actual adventure after breaking out of one's confines. I don't see them returning to the cave over and over for some plodding hijinks involving hiding a Sabretooth tiger. That whole Bear plot was so thin and so, so boring.

 

[Expendable.]

Yeah I think it looks much more interesting than Brave.

Most definitely, there's a great sense of adventure here and Sanders has me pumped. Plus, this is just a teaser. Expect a full-length one in a few months.

edit: great minds! ha.

If it wasn't for Sanders, I wouldn't be as excited for this.

Edit: Oh dear, the director of Space Chimps is co-directing and co-writing this.

While I would have preferred Brave to have been an adventure film, I'm okay with what it ended up being as flawed as it is.

 

[Mariolee]

The voice syncing must be off or something, because the character Nic Cage is playing just doesn't seem like Nic playing a character so it's really jarring.

Still better than the generic Dreamworks styled designs they went with for the final production. I am so tired of CGI animated films, when will see see some hand drawn animated stuff again?

You can see hand drawn stuff in Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda 2 or their upcoming Me and My Shadow.

Dreamworks doing what Pixaren't.

Lots of mediocre films?

You seem to have missed my joke there, Femmeworth.

No matter, I'm always happy to explain. See, I took the word "aren't" (read: are not) and used it conjunctively with the animation studio that hasn't been put out a good flick since WALL-E. By suggesting that rival animation house Dreamworks was engaging in practices diametrically opposed to Pixar, it follows that they are currently dedicated to releasing more rewarding and entertaining films.

I hope this has helped and good luck with your future endeavors.

 

[AAK]

Of course the world's first family is white.

I love this post.

 

[ultim8p00]

Of course the world's first family is white.

This was the first thing that went through my mind as well. But that's Hollywood for ya.

Also Wall-E wasn't that good outside of the visuals, which would still put it higher than most of Dreamworks' output.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I agree that WALL-E wasn't that good, but I knew many would argue it was. Ratatouille was Pixar's last great film.

 

[CharminUltra]

Looks like your average Dreamworks animated film i.e. it looks meh.

 

[DrForester]

I agree that WALL-E wasn't that good, but I knew many would argue it was. Ratatouille was Pixar's last great film.

What was wrong with Toy Story 3?

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I'm actually interested in this. Outside of the character designs, I'm pumped. Also, Chis Sanders has me that much more interested.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Those eyes are like four inches apart, this is like a Chris-Sanders-go-wild scenario minus the huge gluteus.

btw, for those of you wondering where is the famous smirk of CGI characters

 

[Dead Prince]

i don't get it.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The character designs and almost all the casting choices are UGH.

But I loved How to Train Your Dragon, so I'm giving this a chance to be an amazing movie with a trailer designed to make it look like some vastly inferior movie.

 

[CorvoSol]

For the first time ever, Dreamwork's incredibly out-dated popculture references will be acceptable.

 

[victreeb3l]

hate the artstyle

but the part with the flora and fauna looked gorgeous. so i dunno im conflicted

 

[EightBitNate]

They're probably trying to pitch inner beauty or some shit.

 

[qindarka]

They're probably trying to pitch inner beauty or some shit.

And what exactly is wrong with that?

 

[Mariolee]

They're probably trying to pitch inner beauty or some shit.

Maybe, but it seems like since there's no actual beautiful people around in this film there is no inner beauty aspect since there's no beauty to be compared to.

 

[UrbanRats]

I agree that WALL-E wasn't that good, but I knew many would argue it was. Ratatouille was Pixar's last great film.

Wall-E first half was great.
The part with the humans wasn't as good though.

 

[EightBitNate]

And what exactly is wrong with that?

Nothing.

 

[Femmeworth]

I agree that WALL-E wasn't that good, but I knew many would argue it was. Ratatouille was Pixar's last great film.

We can agree on that.

They're probably trying to pitch inner beauty or some shit.

Eh? The trailer doesn't give any indication that it is going to go in that direction.

What was wrong with Toy Story 3?

I need to rewatch it, but I thought it was weaker than the first two at least in terms of narrative.

 

[Kthreev]

The first thing I thought of was how the dad looked like Ken Hamm (The creationist museum owner)

Then when he was telling the story of the bear who had curiosity, saw something new, then died, I laughed.

I'm sure that wasn't intended though.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

What was wrong with Toy Story 3?

TS3 was good, not great. My biggest problem with it was that it felt like a recycled version of TS2.

 

[CorvoSol]

And what exactly is wrong with that?

Clearly everything. Being beautiful on the inside is what we they tell you to comfort you about the fact that you're ugly on the outside.

 

[Akainu]

The mom and two daughters are incredibly ugly from a design standpoint.

Why, because they aren't attractive? They look like cavemen.

 

[Zoramon089]

Americans hate hand drawn. Somehow it's "kiddy" despite CG being "for everyone" even if everything else is the same...

C'mon, so only France loves hand drawn? Lets not generalize, we know it's more complicated than that.

But Americans love anime.
