So new record for animation?

 

I think it is pure animation since no physical acting was involved. Its just very realistic animation. Objects and the Cat in Toy Story 4 was very realistic. In fact Toys are realistic 😛

There was one live action scene hidden in there

This, new record for animation, absolutely. I'm sorry, I get that it's photo-realistic animation, but it's still animation so it counts, I don't care how Disney are marketing the movie. And yes, there's a difference between having a couple live-action scenes in there between all the CG scenes and having ONLY CG scenes.

 

Edit: Guess it has a live-action scene... oh well.

Was there? Then I guess it counts as live-action, but that's such a technicality, I bet they only did it so they can be out of the 100% animation circles. Whatever, so which one was it, if it's not a spoiler, thanks.

Still could be submitted as an animated film at the Oscars. But they won't.

I mean, LEGO Movie had live action in it. Is that considered animation? Honestly don't remember...

The nearest round off 5 or 0 on lower side for a conservative estimate.

Any chance friday and saturday gets adjusted upwards to hit 195? Not a lot of incentive at this point, but it’s a nice number

Pretty sure it was eligible for the animation Oscar. You just have to be 70% animation for it.

I'd think the highest it goes with actuals is just over 193.

Poor Frozen. It is not the highest grossing animated movie anymore...

Amazing example, and you are right, The LEGO Movie is considered an animated movie and when it comes to records is ranked among animations, despite having a considerably amount of live-action scenes in it (I have no idea what the live-action part of The Lion King is but I'm fairly positive it's nowhere near LEGO's in terms of runtime).

 

So yeah, I call studio shenanigans on all of this. The Lion King is much more an animated movie than say The LEGO Movie, so it should be considered that for record purposes.

Give me one reason; why will Avatar 2 beat The Lion King anywhere except China and few Asian countries.

 

Idk what the true nostalgia level for it will be once marketing ramps up, but if it does it will have a lot of do with that December release date.

I mean, let's wait until there marketing, etc. Never know what Slippin' Jimmy has up his sleeve. No good reason to start doubting him until footage is released.

[JimiQ]

Actually Disney lied about the photo-realistic animation - they coudln’t get it working, so TLK (2019) is stopmotion animation

They're both VFX tech demos, but Avatar 2 might actually get good reviews?

I dunno, just because? Do you need a reason?

The new Digital Fur Technology gets the fur right but ..... WHY, after 35 years of trying, can these CGI Geniuses STILL NOT GET FIRE RIGHT? 

 

Digital Fire still looks totally .... digital.
