You know what, this might just be Labor Day weekend's widest release.

Ever?

Close behind Apollo 18 I think.

I am feeling a huge opening here.

[Jack Nevada]

3200+ screens?! Are you fucking shitting me?? This is a travesty. THIS SHIT, THIS PANDERING TO CHILDREN (one of my pet peeves) SHOULD BE BURIED TO DTV!! Goddammit, quality cinema like, say, A Separation, Celeste and Jesse Forever and Jiro Dreams of Sushi get barely any theaters and this anus-butter gets that many. There's no justice in hollywood

How does a first-time distributor even get the money to put it in so many theaters?

How does a distributor that has never released a film before even get the money to put it in so many theaters?

The bigger question is..How did this cost 12 million??

[Jack Nevada]

I would never subject a child to this brain-deflating ballsack of a movie. Never.

Here is a Facebook comment on the Oogieloves Page

just saw pre screen amazing. I was hesitant at first, but kids up and dancing and I was sweating. loved it. want everyone with young kids totally worth it.

Something new for the ankle-biter set. Just kidding, hope it succeeds. Independent films need more opportunities so we can have more choices.

I got totally excited in the theater when I saw a trailer. Way more excited than a middle aged woman should.

On RT is as 117 votes and only 22% want to see it

Why is it 22% and not 2%?

[Jack Nevada]

Man, this movie just boils my balls. This is the lowest form of family entertainment

I mean... it's for three year olds. You can cool down a little

There are far better things to show to three year olds, like Pingu, old Disney-short animations and Postman Pat, for example

Wood refused to let Viselman pursue a film adaptation of the show, but when he went to a showing of the Tyler Perry film Madea Goes to Jail, he saw how people in the audience would shout out advice to the characters on screen. This lead him to the idea of creating a children's film in the vein of Teletubbies with the interactive aspect, allowing the children to sing, dance, and respond to the characters on screen.^[2]

This is hysterical. These guys saw adults yell at a movie screen and thought, "hey, this is something kids would love to do!"

I have a better idea why not put on Disney Junior or Nick Jr. for 2 hours and the kids will be just as entertained

so I been seeing ads for this movie during the entire CBS Comedy line-up tonight
