AniNate Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I'm not expecting much here, just hoping the families show up for it to give the box office some more life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP1025 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 WDAS and Pixar need to find ways to bring down the budget of their animated films too. $200 million each is not sustainable with their current box office prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rewatched the first two a couple days ago, and you can really tell from the trailer they cut corners in this compared to the artistry and scale and production values in the old movies. People love to proclaim "make movies cheaper", but there's often a downside when you do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it doesn't suffer that much as far as the overall look and animation is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason is because of how generic-looking they are. There's not much inspiration to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnale101 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I followed one of animators of kung fu panda 4 on Twitter since 2022 alot of reason dreamworks and illumation have cheaper budgets especially compared to Disney and Pixar they get animators from straight out of animation school and it more of contract work Pixar seems to be experienced people who work there for decade and salary is higher, which is good obviously it leads to higher budgets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I’m not gonna spoil movie having read reviews on Twitter about it but the animation wasn’t considered flaw more so weak villain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The economic reality Dreamworks faces today is they are no longer an animation titan and can't really afford to be spending what they used to on movies. Indeed, Wild Robot will be the last one they produce in Glendale for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is outsourcing. They're also laying off a lot of people. Still, history suggests that they won't cut costs. They didn't cut costs when Treasure Planet, Home on the Range were flops. Pixar itself is expecting Inside Out 2, which I think will be a very profitable movie. Then there's Elio, and then maybe some unknown movie in March 2026... Pixar's in a better position than WDAS but they might both be brought down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnale101 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Frozen 3, Toy Story 5 and zootopia 2 all confirmed aslong as they aren’t totallly trash those 3 alone could make combined 3 billion original movies, sucks enchanto didn’t get a fair shot at box office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
