baumer Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just curious, what's your opinion on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? It's very much not a Pixar movie, but it's definitely my favorite non-Pixar/Disney CGI movie. Haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 The Emperor's New Groove is awesome.Love it. Probably the closest we've come to a Chuck Jones toon in this young century. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJackSparrow Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Cloudy with meatballs was a suprisingly good film! I dreaded seeing the film, and when I saw it it was very good, better than DM perhaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Haven't seen it. You should check it out; very similar humor to DM1 but a lot more enjoyable imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ, it rivals Grave of the Fireflies for the title of most depressing as fuck animated film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Maybe your too old and jaded to be pulled in.What are your examples of great animated movies? My Top10 best animated is pratically composed of Pixar movies, but KFP2, Shrek 2, Polar Express and Happy Feet are just as great. I also like films like Ralph, Rango, Cloudy, Sleeping Beauty, Simpsons, South Park, Meet the Robinsons, Surf's Up, Monster House, Beowulf...

It's very much not a Pixar movie, but it's definitely my favorite non-Pixar/Disney CGI movie.Cloudy has one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen in a movie. The ice cream scene, I just couldnt contain myself. SPA is underrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Apparently some of you completely missed the point about my Illumination/Pixar post earlie. I said nothing about quality nor did I say illumination is now as big as Pixar at its height. What I said was Illumination is the current top dog animation studio at the box office now. There last three movies compared to Pixars last three prove that. You can't argue with numbers no matter how much you may not like it.

Gideon Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Biggest surprise of the summer for me so far. Come on 200 million! So many shocks if it was the case: - A gross in "2" like the "officialparamountsummertentpole" StarTrek. - A gross in "2" like TomCruiseoblivion... Worldwide! - 1st time for BradPitt - 1st time for Marc Foster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There last three movies compared to Pixars last three prove that. You can't argue with numbers no matter how much you may not like it. But you compared them wrong; they should only be compared within the year of release. A well done comparison would've been Toy Story 3 (415M) vs. Despicable Me (251M) Cars 2 (191M) vs. Hop (108M) Brave (237M) vs. The Lorax (214M) DM2 will beat MU, but that's the first time in Illumination's first four movies. Not a trend. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
