Yep. If Ferrell was Holmes I know I'd be tuning out, this way it's at least an 'on TV in four years'.

Regal has a deal - see it in 3D on the 20th and get some pins. I don't know why it's not opening day...I really hope that RT score doesn't drop below 90%, 87% if it has to.

We still don't have showtimes :/ but we didn't have any for Florence or Pete's Dragon until Thursday before so. We really don't need every theater in town to show Ben Hur like 7 times.

There are certainly American Japanese people (Or, to broaden the net, East Asian people) who work in the voice industry in America. It is an American production, and I absolutely wouldn't expect Laika to go to Japan and pick people from a similar region, that would be a nightmare and cost-prohibitive. I don't blame them 100% for using popular names because Laika movies don't do so hot stateside, and I'm not 100% against having a white person in the cast. I just wish they tried a little harder to have more than one, two? It's not super common to see an East Asian story get wide release in mainstream America and it could have been a real opportunity for someone.

I hear a few people wish they used more Asian voice actors, but everyone kind of lets it pass. Almost 100% certain that they dub it for China with big Chinese actors anyway, and they do way better over there than here in NA. I absolutely understand their concerns, because diversity behind the camera is important too. It won't stop me from enjoying the movie (unless the voice actors do a poor job, but I doubt it), but i'll always wish that they went that extra mile.

That was super captivating for a trailer...don't remember the last time I was completely interested.

Moana Queen of Katwe Skull Island Sing Gold The Lego Batman Movie Hidden Figures La La Land Power Rangers The Girl on The Train

Well I guess when initials predictions for your 100$ million dollar blockbusters' opening were between 10 and 15 million, there's nowhere to go but up. & that would be Laika's highest opening ever - I hope it can make it!...or at least 18$ mil.

I actually liked the first 45 minutes or so - the snarky, weird tone of the adult jokes cracked me up. It's when actual gameplay elements got introduced that I got bored. Real pity, this was the one trailer I rewatched because it was bright, vibrant, and almost seemed like a true family film. C

When does the review embargo end...if I remember Beyond correctly, I guess we can bet 11 PM on the evening before release.

This is my prediction too...who the winner is is a whole other game...mainly between Disney properties.

Pity about Dragon, but ... at least Disney's only printing money with 8 out of 10 movies between this and BFG instead of 10/10.

I hate that. Animation isn't just about displaying frantic nonsense. Sincerely hope that this can be their breakout hit to the mainstream.

Of course, but it's not unentertaining.

If the advertising is as thorough and persistent as it was for SLOP, I will actually be hyped instead of deeply annoyed. The singing so far sounds wonderful - don't really care if it's the actual actors or not.

I'm semi excited. It does look like they're being flexible and not making it a hard copy of (whatever #5 is). I still buy each book the day it comes out, but I can't say i'd rush out to see this. I wonder if the [potential] success of Middle School; The Worst Days of My Life (which I also read and it's not nearly as good) might push them to move faster.

Are they doing a press tour? I want to see a press tour. All i've seen is the Mexico premiere...

A24 Distribution is hit and miss at our theaters, but if we got Ex Machina, I hope we can get this.

Definite citation needed but I'm almost certain Ratchet and Clank was either around that price or slightly lower.

Would have been a nice break between a lot of excitement, especially if Angry Birds wasn't already there, but the counterprogramming to SP this weekend will probably surprise us.

...Not 100% sure what's going on with Elliot's mouth situation there but it's making me chuckle.

That Tsum is very adorable - and apparently there are 2016 movie shirts and hats -- Angling for that adult portion, can't blame them.

Weirdly, I don't think i've seen any recent merchandise for it. Even the Disney Store just has the old movie. I wouldn't be against buying a cuddly dragon.

Nothing unexpected but sweet enough, one step closer to Nine Lives' demise. Now i'm curious about those first two scenes.

Fast 8, Wolverine 3, La La Land, Passengers, Sully, Arrival can suck. I am rooting hardcore for Skull Island, Sing, and GOTG 2 Wonder Woman, Captain Underpants, Pitch Perfect 3, Thor: Ragnarok, Ready Player One, Star Wars 8, Hidden Figures, The Lego Batman Movie, Power Rangers (2017)
