My biggest worry is that this is animated in a way that isn't stylized and is just like how the Lion King movie is, where it's basically live action realism. Go nuts with this

[AniNate]

We'll find out soon enough I guess. This releasing the trailer in space thing seems like a silly stunt that's an unnecessarily expensive use of the marketing budget imo, but honestly a TF movie with more unapologetic Saturday morning action cartoon vibes seems like a nice change of pace from the average jokey slapstick of multiplex kids filler, so I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. Helps that it has a Pixar alum helming as well.

Would be shocked if this wasn’t done in the Spider-Verse style. That’s what 60% of animated movies look like these days.

Apparently from the CinemaCon experts, it looked like the video games and CGI cartoons with the robots having facial details.

This sounds like a waste of resources, idk

I definitely think the optics look worse with that news about the ISS space junk crashing through a house recently

Yeah it’s not Spiderverse style, but it’s definitely got its own thing. Interested to see how people react.

That's good because the way they talked about it it kind of sounded like it was specifically a prequel to the Michael Bay movies

Let's see what this space thing is all about.

lol I have to wait a whole-ass hour for the trailer to launch while this stupid drone goes up in space? Was this marketing stunt really worth it?

I remember the Black Eyed Peas did something similar maybe 15 years ago. Nobody actually cares that a movie trailer played on some guys phone in space. It's a ploy to get coverage for the debut of the trailer on some traditional news sources in order to alert people that the trailer has been released.

 

Edit: they're playing it off an iPad. You can actually see the fingerprints on the screen.

Not...super sold on this 

[Eric S'ennui]

This looks cute. Weird to not hear Peter Cullen's voice though.

[AniNate]

Well it definitely has Saturday morning cartoon energy. Problem for me is it's 2010s, not 1990s.

 

Safe to say Wild Robot is my only September animation stan.

SOLD. This looks fun. 

[Eric S'ennui]

Also hoping they ditch the lore, so that Optimus and Megatron become boyfriends at the end. They're kinda cute when they're working together lol

[filmlover]

Now going head-to-head against Wild Robot after being pushed back a week so I assume the latter is moving.
