We have seen it like a hundred times... I 'll call this again, but the last time I saw a really original animation it was Inside Out. I can't really think of another one that came lately.. but when it comes to originality there are not many live-action films that are truly innovative and original, either. think it comes down to the approach, whether the filmmakers' main interest is to make a good movie that they believe is, or to make a movie that sells well to the audience which is not necessarily related to the creators' visions. Sometimes it could be both and it can't be black or white tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Side note, but is anyone else annoyed with Disney and TFA fucking the SW-Extended Universe cannon. Things were looking so nice with Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi book series. UGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And useless to pretend if Lucas had made VII we'd have any different result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 In terms of worldwide grosses, it earned another $16 million overseas. That brings its foreign total to $166.8m and its worldwide cume to $357m in around a week. http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2016/12/21/rogue-one-box-office-star-wars-crossing-200m-u-s-tops-350m-global/#7313980b26cf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point. But they aren't really adult friendly either. Spoiler With their 32% and 20% RT scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it could be both and it can't be black or white tho. It feels like a breath of fresh air though every time I see an animation that is not about the same "be different" idea. This is certainly a very important lesson that every child should be taught but aren't there others? Like no one had thought of teaching children to accept their emotions before Inside Out? Animation in the last years has been a continuous repetition of the same concepts. It's only the technical aspects that change.

Eh, so much of the post-RotJ EU was a 50-car pileup of dog crap that a cleansing was needed, and at that point better to start fresh. Now I think they should mine the EU like the MCU mines Marvel comics to inspire some characters and plot arcs, but so far they have declined to do so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel has different Earth versions, including one, where all characters are apes. In clothes,... It is one medium world, often they mix not well.

Hey poor RT scores haven't stopped parents from taking their kids to see a film, just cause it's poorly received, otherwise something like The Nut Job, wouldn't have had a sequel greenlit in the first place (it's doomed now though).

filmlover Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 And now Why Him? has made its way down to the low 30% area on RT too. Movie studios to audiences: "We want you to see Star Wars instead, for the second year in a row." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Inside Out came short of getting a Best Picture nomination for no real reason except that it's an animated movie, it should have gotten one (and there were 2 available spots). It was close to being the best-reviewed title of the year overall. It even got nominated for best screenplay... I love the 2015 Best Picture nominees, I watched them all except Brooklyn and think they were great, but Inside Out was at least as good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things were looking so nice with Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi book series. UGH. Not at all. I thought the books got worse with every new series. It started out great with the Thrawn trilogy, but the further it went the more stupid things became. There were minor good to great things in there, but the general approach was severely lacking. Some of the stuff was so blatantly the opposite of what Star Wars should be (Karen Traviss books, urgh) that I ended up not bothering anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celedhring Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yeah, last year's Oscar lineup was pretty strong, but there was no reason for Inside Out not to be there. Also, 13 pages on a weekday #s thread? I love the holidays. BOT is back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
