@cayommagazine As Endless Animation aims to shake up its creative content as well as deviate from its traditional style, ahead of the upcoming Endless New Year Event scheduled from January 1st, 2021 to January 3rd, 2021 has decided to debate its new Brain Trust as studio heads Chris McKay (Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive, The Lego Batman Movie) and Meg LeFauve (Medusa, Inside Out) have stepped down as studio heads, instead sharing smaller roles inside the new Brain Trust. The Brain Trust will act similarly to the ones employed at Pixar and WDAS, providing story help for projects and input. The new Brain Trust is an effort from the studio to include more diversity, quality and creativity as while all of Endless Animation’s film have been financially successful, helping parent studio Endless Entertainment be a powerhouse in the CAYOM world, quality has been a mixed bag, though while positive, note there’s flaws in the traditional way of doing things. New members of the new Brain Trust include: Matthew A. Cherry (Academy Award winner Hair Love, the upcoming Meeka) Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2, Spark: A Hero’s Promise, the upcoming The Valkyries vs The Galaxy) Jorge R. Gutierrez (Emmy Award winner El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, The Book of Life) Genndy Tartakovsky (the Can You Imagine trilogy) Josie Trinidad (Academy Award winning Zootopia, Wreck it Ralph) In addition to that, Endless Animation as well as the newly renamed sister division Endless Alternative Animation (formerly WhatAToon!), which is planning on making both smaller budgeted indie animation and more experimental larger budgeted PG-13/R rated animation aims to make at least 3 films a year. New projects from both studios will be announced during the Endless New Year Event.

Dragonbreath (the children’s book series)

Ew, Ready Player One is in the top 20.

@cayommagazine After multiple negotiations, Jimmie Falls (The Last Black Man in San Francisco) has signed on Endless Animation’s Meeka, as the voice of the main antagonist, Hofu. Meeka comes to theaters May 31st, Y8

@cayommagazine As development for Meeka continues as the studio is confident and proud of the work so far, Endless Animation has hired co-director Everett Downing (Hotel Translyvania 2, Meeka) to direct his debut feature aiming for Y9. Project details are scarce other than it taking place in the future inspired by Pinocchio, and said despite it having a whimsical tone to be more grounded in terms of themes than past Endless Animation fare. More details are expected to be announced New Years Day as Endless Entertainment is prepping a mini event for its Y8-Y10 library as the studio will reveal it’s Y9 slate and some Y10 projects.

I think $1B is possible but I think maybe wait until the pandemic is over before the over TA claims. Pre COVID-19, yes but I’d wait it out.

To be fair 4 movies, two with IP properties that are already flooding in the home entertainment market diluted the value. I feel if LM2 came out earlier, it would’ve fared better. Maybe it wouldn’t be like DM2 or Shrek 2 but it wouldn’t have fell as bad.

Not to pile on but their lackluster marketing for their animation arm Warner Animation Group, combined with the mishandling of The Lego Movie franchise (as they should’ve done a sequel before flooding the market with spin-offs) probably hurt too.

Well Tony Stark is kind of a shit person.

But does Disney want to take the risk. They don’t seem much interested in much non IP films from their branches outside of animation. 20th Century seems to be downsizing to smaller mid budget films anyways. Besides I don’t think Nolan would be that interested in a deal with them. Mainly because I don’t see there cultures clashing well.

I’m afraid of the stigma of “Why see the “inferior” animated sequel when you have the live action one ten months ago?” from the GA. It just makes it harder for the film to increase.

What would you do exactly?

I can also see Paramount, as they’re desperate for IP and I think Nolan could get a good deal there.

You think Disney would invest in mid budget movies post Covid? And do you think Nolan would want lower budgets?

I don’t think Disney would give Nolan the freedom he’d want for blockbusters especially consider their IP focus.

Well I’m admit when I’m wrong, Macguire and Garfield will likely be back, but my interest in this has gone considerably down because mainly knowing the team, I don’t think they’ll focus much on the characters or drama and double down on the action, world trotting stuff. I also find it sad, that Sony has fucked over ITSV2. Hopefully, Miles shows up or something.

The video she shared literally has transphobic statements.

Not really, most were pretty solid (Matrix 4 for Christmas, ITH for late June, TSS for August, most of their films), the only one with a not good release date was arguably Space Jam 2. If they flop it’s due to other circumstances or the streaming hybrid.

It seems Letitia Wright is both an anti vaxxer and transphobic.

Yeah I don’t think we’ll see $1B grossing films for a while now
