Moana is the only animated film of the year without any talking animals...

 

...and I honestly am not that hyped for it  

 

It looks stunning and has that cute little pig sidekick (who will sell a ton of stuffed animals) raises an eyebrow, what more can you ask for?

No pinning weekend threads anymore mods?

FYI, we're already on Episode 2 of "Tele vs The Thread" (they go by very quickly). 

 

This one's titled "Tele v Pixar: Dawn of Indifference"

 

Episode 1 was "Dr Tele or: How I learned to Keep My Expectations in Check and Stop the Hype"

 

Strangely enough, both episodes were very well received after their diffusion, but not so much upon live viewing. Spectators felt it was too close to reality.

By mid July, Disney will own top 4 spots of 2016 WW.

Is this unprecedented by a single studio?

 

Yes.

Mamma Mia wound up making $600m+ WW though

mamma mia was like the #1 movie of all time here for a second until avatar came out. definitely felt like the movie everyone was talking about that summer here moreso than the dark knight or whatever. i actually like abba but i saw ten minutes of that movie on tv and it was pretty much nails on a chalkboard for me.

I'm sure it'll be a solid movie. But I'm still not excited.  

What are you actually excited for in terms of movies(not just Pixar, anything) coming out? Do tell us.

Central Intelligence is going to surpass The Boss as the biggest "original" (non-sequel, non-pre-existing property, non-brand-based) movie of the year so far. Kinda goes to show how sluggish things have been outside of said movies.

The difference is Central Intelligence is actually funny

The only truly great movie that ever came from Pixar was Ratatouille. The rest were either acceptable or downright bad. But it's ok. We can't all have good tastes. 

I agree that ratatouille being the best, but even wall-e isn't up to standard?

I thought you were talking about quality  

Oh well I wouldn't necessarily bet on it there either. Still trying to figure out I feel about Dory.

Nothing's exciting when you've seen it all like Tele has.

[narniadis]

zootopia doesn't count because of "but it's disneeeey"? that seems dumb to me.

Deadpool was 12M, Zootopia iirc was 1.7M.

 

But if it disappoints you that this is below Deadpool, don't forget this: animated films always start on the low side, only to end up having maddening multipliers on the weekends. For an animation, a 9.2M preview number is colossal, to say the least.
