  1. I mean...Glazer directed this movie. Of course he's gonna hype up his film as important when it won.
  2. Why are we doing a "celebration of stunt actors" and you're not gonna give them an actual award category? Just do it already.
  3. Not saying you should steal it, but I mean you could make a lot of money selling it online. 🤔
  4. HAHAHAHAHAHA ONLY KIDS WATCH ANIMATED MOVIES THAT IS SO TRUE Oh and the worst of those animated shorts won lmao
  5. Moderation @leoh I defended you last time, but your strawmanning over users overpredicting Dune is no longer amusing and is just derailing the thread, making everything worse for others. Please end all this right here. And frankly, we're done with this whole concern trolling a lot of you are doing over Dune 2. I don't know why this is the movie you decided to do it with, but it's not leading to anything productive or bearable for others who just want to enjoy talking about the movie's box office. Please cool it on the hyperbole.
  6. Yeah Monkey Man, Challengers, and Civil War aren't going to be massive hits, but they all have potential to overperform from expectations, especially when John Wick/A24/Zendaya/tennis are bigger than ever. Just really depends on reviews of course, but it also helps that May doesn't have some huge Marvel juggernaut to muck things up or steal attention.
  7. Moderation Okay, I don't know what's going on with this beef over Leoh, but it's very clear folks aren't going to see eye to eye, and it's derailing the thread. At this point, please place users you dislike on your Ignore list and call it a day. We're done with this constant fighting.
  8. lol I do remember that. He also said we would get 3 HTTYD movies in that same interview. And well, that's gonna be incorrect once the fourth movie drops...7? 8 years from now? Yeah, somewhere around that time. Maybe even sooner.
  9. Shoulda just stuck with your gut lol 😆
  10. Thank goodness for that. These movies are the only gigs @The Panda can get in Hollywood. Though maybe there’s an opening for Zootopia 2.
  11. #7 Toy Story 2,172 points, 32 lists "The word I'm searching for - I can't say, because there's preschool toys present." Box Office: 394.4M Rotten Tomatoes: 100% Metacritic: 96 Awards: 1 Academy Award and 3 nominations, 8 Annie Awards and 1 nomination, 2 Golden Globe Award nominations, 1 BAFTA Award nomination Roger Ebert's Review: "For the kids in the audience, a movie like this will work because it tells a fun story, contains a lot of humor, and is exciting to watch. Older viewers may be even more absorbed, because "Toy Story," the first feature made entirely by computer, achieves a three-dimensional reality and freedom of movement that is liberating and new. The more you know about how the movie was made, the more you respect it." Its Legacy: The one that started it all for Pixar. The first fully computer-animated film ever made. Spawned one of the most successful animated movie franchises in history. One of the rare movies to earn 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. One of the first films to be re-released in digital 3D. Made computer animation and computer graphics the hip new thing for decades, in turn becoming the dominant medium in feature animation. Put Pixar on the right track, resulting in one of the most successful animation studios in history. Considered one of the greatest animated movies ever made. #99 on AFI's Top 100 Films of All Time (2007 Edition). Joined the National Film Registry in 2005. Gave Wallace Shawn a paycheck. Commentary: One of the most fascinating aspects of the original Toy Story is that, really, it didn’t need to be as good as it was. This film was noted as the very first computer-animated film ever. At a time when computer animation and CGI was still a novel concept that spawned some of the biggest blockbusters ever at the time. Add on two of the biggest Hollywood stars on the planet as your leads, you didn’t need Toy Story to be as good as it was. But...it was. It really, really was. In fact, it’s one of the few movies to have a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes even after nearly 30 years on the market. It captures a very memorable and charming premise that we’ve all thought of before. What if our toys came to life? And it uses that concept to its fullest advantage, with a hilarious buddy movie story, an immensely witty screenplay full of great one-liners and visual gags, an incredible cast who all quickly became iconic, and some groundbreaking visuals that still look pretty solid years later. But of course, you all know that. Toy Story is of course a gigantic media franchise loved by everybody young and old and has spawned way too many sequels to count, all of which became huge groundbreaking hits in their own right and eternally beloved the world over. But as you can see, in the end, you can’t beat the classics. Some of us may like the sequels more, but it’s the first one that captured BOT’s hearts. And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
  12. #8 Coco 2,154 points, 35 lists "Five minutes ago I thought I was related to a murderer! You're a total upgrade!" Box Office: 814.3M Rotten Tomatoes: 97% Metacritic: 81 Awards: 2 Academy Awards, 11 Annie Awards and 2 nominations, 1 Golden Globe Award and 1 nomination, 2 Grammy Award nominations, 2 Imagen Awards Roger Ebert's Review: N/A Its Legacy: One of the most acclaimed and highest-grossing PIxar movies of all time. The highest-grossing film in Mexico. The fourth-highest selling home video of 2018. The first nine-figure budgeted film with an all Latino cast. Rumored to receive a Broadway stage show. Gave Edward James Olmos a paycheck. Commentary: Pixar is known for creating fantastical landscapes and creative worlds. But in this 2017 film, directors Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina, and the talented Emeryville animators were tasked with creating a story that celebrates the joy, beauty, and wonder of Mexico and its people. A very risky proposition indeed to have such a corporate behemoth like Disney appropriate a country rich in culture and legacy and story like this. And everybody was watching this film like a hawk, with numerous controversies over trademark issues, tons of consultants, and even future controversy on whether or not Mama Coco was based on a real person or not and that Pixar probably took her story without ever giving the family compensation (look it up). Yet when it premiered, it didn’t really matter. What we got was a joyous romp full of beauty, heart, and style. A film that not only won over Mexican audiences, but audiences the world over. It’s a film that understands the joys of family, comfort, and togetherness. A film that shows the people in your lives are important and must never be forgotten. A film that shows that what you do or say impacts everybody. So you better use that positively. With great songs, bouncy animation, hilarious comedy, and heartfelt sequences that we all cry to, Coco has quickly endured as a modern Disney classic, almost immediately christened as one of Pixar’s all-time bests, and continues to charm audiences every year on Disney+, as it frequently ranks as one of the most-viewed movies on the platform. It’s a film that shows the importance and beauty of diversity and showcasing other cultures and will be a cultural touchstone amongst Disney fans and Mexican viewers for decades to come.
