yeah, the humor factor looks like it'll be a fun movie.

I love their other movies, but I’m not feeling this one. Not yet atleast.

If any animation studio right now deserves a "wait-and-see" clout, it's Laika.

Saw the trailer attached to The Grinch and I'll definitely see this when it opens.
It looks quite delightful and charming and it's stop motion animated makes it all that special.

Chaotic · 11-10-2018, 09:34 PM

This being an Annapurna movie doesnt bode well for its box office prospects.

Did Laika's deal with Focus Features expire or something?

I have faith in Laika, but the humor / writing seems a lot more low brow for them compared to their existing work, and I kind of hate the design of Bigfoot in the movie. I feel like they're trying to pander more to the mainstream with this, which I guess isn't a bad thing if it does help them gain a bigger audience. I'll see it regardless, but I'm not really sold on the film.

Chaotic · 02-05-2019, 04:13 PM

Looks amazing.

Laika's films have been making less (domestically at least) with every movie, so this will probably be the lowest grossing one.

It’s still impeccable how smooth their animation is.

MifuneFan · 02-28-2019, 05:53 PM

Every time I see the trailer I keep forgetting that it's Zoe Saldana playing the female lead. I honestly believe they were aiming to get Salma Hayek for the role. That's all I see and hear when I look at the character.

Chaotic · 02-28-2019, 05:54 PM

Ha, I was thinking Salma also.

Creed · 02-28-2019, 05:56 PM

Same, lol.

Laika Studio offers very impressive animation, but their stereo 3D department is not doing 3D any benefits, as their films are usually very mild to mild 3D most times, with few exceptions. It's like watching a 2D movie with 3D glasses, and largely defeats the whole point of three dimensions. They need to amp up the 3D in their films to NWave Studio quality strong 3D. Or Dreamworks' Madagascar 3's strong 3D at least.

On topic, this movie looks interesting for the story. I'm interested to see how it does in theaters. It's a risk, but their films usually step out of the norm.

Reviews are in and they are good!

the family nearest me while watching 'Dumbo' yesterday weren't in the slightest enamored with the trailer - and made a really negative comment in that they'd be "missing" this in the theater. I tend to agree, Laika for this movie seems heavily leaning to OTT humor unlike past movies - likewise I'll still be seeing this, but I don't have high hopes.

In terms of the 3D, for movies shot in stop motion, I have no idea why the layering effect is so mild compared to cel or computer animation.

It’s going to be tough to top Kubo.
