Mojoguy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's a good thing Inside Out has made enough to fund three new Pixar films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Coco seems like it ought to be more mass audience friendly too, especially if it's a musical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Disney certainly has tried hard as hell to market TFA to all audiences. You have the lead heroine with Rey who is destined to be popular with girls (That THG audience), Finn for those that wanted a black actor in a lead role all these years, and the original trilogy characters for those nostalgic for the old films. It feels like TGD has gotten lost through all this TFA advertising blitz. I'm expecting TGD will find a much bigger audience on dvd.

BK007 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I hope Star Wars disappoints, as unlikely as it is to do so. But then again, it's not like I enjoyed TGD so much for retribution against Disney's selective marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Maybe it's me.....but i would probably think that films like Spectre, MJ2 & TGD were afraid and scared of SW7 and how much that one will open. It's pretty rare to see one zeitgeist blockbuster movie in December take every thunders away from the ones in November. Doesn't happen very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) There's definitely a high chance this is snubbed of the animated nom at the Oscars now. The chance was always high, imo, since I never saw two Pixar's getting in as any easy feat. But now with the subpar critical reception and box office results, they will really have an easy excuse to ignore it. I just pray it's not Minions, Home, or HT2 that takes its place. That would be pretty cringe-worthy. I think The Prophet is gonna be what this gets snubbed for though.

I'm sure The Academy are unlikely to give any of those three nominations, there are much better indie and foreign films that'll get picked. Considering The Academy also nominated two DWA films back in 2012, I think we'll see two Pixar films nominated (although like the Annie Awards, I wouldn't be surprised if Katzenberg bought the votes to get the two nominations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho the Kaufman film technically has a higher critical reception than IO (although it's very, very close), IO seems to be the easy favorite to win. I'm going to imagine it'll be the same next year for the Oscars. Remember that IO was also technically innovative and is supremely hailed. Lego was one of those rare times where the Oscars ignored a "zeitgeisty" film, but I don't think they'll ignore IO. It's everything the Academy loves and more.

AniNate Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 God, I despised The Prophet. That would be like the ultimate insult to me if that were the movie that got in instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 If it's three nominations (I heard it may be), I think it'll be Peanuts, Anomalisa, and IO. This and Shaun the Sheep could get in with five slots. None of the indie slots are getting enough buzz to interfere, but The Boy and The World seems the most likely. I wasn't crazy about it, but I won't go out of my way to really criticize it beyond that it didn't really work for me. I admire you sticking to your guns, Tribefan.

zackzack Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Can TGD outgross the lowest grossing Pixar movie 'A Bug's Life? at $162M unadjusted? Barely it seems. Not even Christmas bump can help this one. Alvin will take some of the audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been as badly advertised as this, and it's the fourth, everyone knows it sucks, and it's going up against Star Wars. I hope Alvin makes like sub-$10m OW. That would be so deserved and so hilarious. Another movie ignored by the public. Unfortunately, Paul Blart still made $70m early this year, so that audience is still out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fantasizing about a scenario that would make be laugh. Actually, Shaun the Sheep barely beats this as my favorite animated movie this year.

TGD is Pixar's second worst reviewed and their first box office flop. If it were the only Pixar film of the year I think it would make it, but I can't see it happening with IO. Love to be wrong though, since TGD is only a hair beneath IO for me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had pointed out that while that could be a valid reason for BH6 winning, it didn't explain why Lego was snubbed from the nominations altogether. Just a year earlier, MU was snubbed from the noms too, and in that year, it was generally considered to be the most technically superior animated movie. So that flies against the face of that hypothesis. I'm more in the camp of "Academy elitism being the reason for Lego's snub". Regarding TGD, I wouldn't be surprised if it is just 3 noms this year or if it gets snubbed for The Boy and the World and Shaun the Sheep. I've always maintained that both Pixar movies getting BAF noms was an uphill battle and now the Academy has two good excuses to snub TGD. Of course, I may still be wrong.
