It's a question that is asked so many times that you can find it on google. Not only that, it demonstrates ignorance about and even contempt for the medium of animation. -
That is just plain ignorance. First off, getting unpaid interns to do actual labor is technically illegal. Second, if they used artists with little training or experience, the film would look less than spectacular.
-
To be fair, The Lego Movie was animated in Australia, and the Illumination films are done in France. Those are two high-wage countries. The reason why the films are cheap is because the animation itself was kept simple.
-
Why do so many people make this idiotic comment? The reason why animation is so expensive is because it's labor intensive. End of story.
-
Thanks for that clarification. I'm still delighted at Zootopia's success, though.
-
Zootopia is just surpassing all kinds of estimates. I think I'll be vindicated on this one.

Zootopia (2016)
cannastop replied to Plain Old Tele's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
Oh, OK. The pronouns were ambiguous to me. Anyways, I think Nick was justified in pushing Judy to tears, considering how badly she fucked up after he confided in her. That scene is actually the least "shippy" to me. I see more sparks when they tease each other, or when Judy put her hand on Nick's arm. The "You know you love me" line is for me what tips the scale. -

Woah, what are you talking about? -
Even people who aren't blinded by fandom think that Zootopia's 3rd weekend will be over $30 million.

One of the directors and writers said that they thought about having a scene like that in the movie. Of course, this doesn't mean Nick and Judy would have actually been in love or anything. As much as I like the characters, doing a romance angle on them would take a lot of time in the movie, and audiences might get restless. -
This is amazing for Zootopia. Certainly isn't dampening my enthusiasm at all!
-
The Lego Movie wasn't exactly a Hollywood production. For example, the animation was done in Australia. There's no way the Academy would snub a Disney movie that did so well.
-
I think you cherry-picked that. I found some examples that set a better precedent for Zootopia.
-
Are you sure this is the biggest week for Spring break? Some systems go on break in April, after all.
-
Well, then. Indiana Jones might be too old to be in a movie.
-
I'm pretty sure it made at least that much on Thursday previews.
-
This sounds absolutely laughable. Harrison Ford is just too old to be Indiana Jones.
-
What are you talking about? Last Friday, Zootopia jumped to $12.1 million from a Thursday of $3.9 million.
-
Let's see. Right now it's at $148.6 million. Tuesday: $5 million Wednesday: $4 million Thursday: $4 million Friday: $10 million Saturday: $18 million Sunday: $14 million Total: $203.6 million. I'd say that it's very possible.

Looks like Zootopia's Monday is confirmed. http://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-chart/daily/2016/03/14
-
We already had a hearty discussion. We agree, mostly.
-
Yeah, but I see this difference as so small that it's not even worth it. You could have had more fun if you continued to be obtuse and did not disclose your own estimate. Bye for now.

Weekend Prediction thread 5/17-5/19 Play the Derby
cannastop replied to Impact's topic in Box Office Derby
That's looking really nice now that I've seen the Monday estimate for Zootopia. -
I think you're getting way too worked up. You're predicting a $37 million 3rd weekend and I'm predicting a $41 million 3rd weekend. A difference of about 10% is nothing to get agitated over.
-
OK, so there is hardly any argument here. I just think you're underestimating the effect of word of mouth and you're overestimating the amount of students on Spring Break.
