Underpants trailer wasn't garbage but Boss Baby was, but Ferdinand was the best.

 

Underpants wasn't as bad as Boss Baby, but it was still not good.

I am still wondering how the hell Disney let the rights get away from them.since Ferdinand the Bull is not in the public domain.

They made one short nearly 80 years ago. Who knows how long they even had the rights?

Reminds me a lot more of the books manic slapstick humor, which give it a pass for me, hopefully it has a charm.

If god Taiki did it, you'd be calling it a masterpiece.

If Taika did it, I wouldn't see it since you'd be overhyping it

It's just that Disney, from the earliest days, has been notorious about holding on to their properites like a demented bulldog.

Warner Bros made a Dr. Seuss short in 1942, but they didn't have permanent screen rights to the Horton character, or to Dr. Seuss's work.

 

A similar deal was probably made with the Ferdinand short.

My concern is that the story seems more suited to a 15 or 30 Minute short then a feature length film. There was a reason that Disney chose to do it as a short rather then a feature length film.

Again, that never stopped people from making Dr. Suess features.

Thinking $25M OW but with an insane $125M-$165M domestic finish.

This'll do Road Chip numbers. Maybe a bit lower since theres more competition around this December.

[Jandrew]

I like that it wasnt slapstick. Looks alright but that date may be a red flag.

 

Unfortunately because of Disney capitalist shareholding extremists, nothing can come out in December anymore but SW.

I like the song choice in the trailer - Castle on the Hill

[Blankments]

Got the trailer at the Boss Baby. Could an animated movie look more generic?
