Prestoff 07/03/23 5:03:42 PM #1:	and if you saw the trailer than you basically saw the movie. Yeah it's one of those movies that plays itself straight. Bit disappointing because other than Boss Baby and Trolls, Dreamworks films tend to do a good job and subverting expectations and I was hoping for something like that with this movie. But just like Boss Baby and Trolls, it's also a kids movie. There just really isn't anything there for the adults to enjoy. 3 (8,9,&14) of my nephews called the movie boring but 2 (6 &8) of my niece really loved it (surprisingly, our theater was packed but also fairly silent for most of the movie except for some laughters here or there). It's a cute movie and it does have some decent messaging and it doesn't hit you on the head with its message regarding puberty (unlike Turning Red, which was so on the nose). I wish I liked it more, 5.5/10. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:974603056] in Saw Ruby G... [t:80498173]...</cite> <quote>and if you saw the trailer than you basically saw the movie.

bsp77 07/03/23 5:24:43 PM #9:	As an aside, did you know that Nimona was 70% completed when Disney bought Fox and closed down Blue Sky Studios (most known for Ice Age). Annapurna pictures then decided to open their own animation department and hired some former Blue Sky execs to run it. They brought Nimona with them, finished it, and then used Netflix to distribute. --- Currently playing: Final Fantasy XVI <cite>bsp77 posted [p:974603428] in Saw Ruby G...

See, Elementals did something that I actually liked, it had an immigration subplot that took my by surprise. I didn't see anything in the commercials, marketing, or trailer that it would talk about that so it was nice they dabbled into it. It also had enough stuff for adults to enjoy about the movie to the point where I can call it a "family movie" instead of a "kids movie", even though the weakest part about the movie, imo, was the romance. It's a great movie, but the reason for its flak is that it's not on-par with any of Pixar's great which is just unfortunate for the movie. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:974603521] in Saw Ruby G...

That's great that some people from Blue Sky are still in the industry. I had a friend who was a full time animator there and essentially gave it up when he was let go because Disney shut down Blue Sky studios. He's back to being an accountant and is making decent money, but it's still sad to see a guy so passionate about his hobby doing something he hates. sabin017 posted... There's like 2 teams at Dreamworks, one that makes considerate films and another that just shovels them out. I mean no matter how well regarded you are as a studio, you'll always have some crap movies. It's just timing if releasing said crap movies that are going to hurt the studio or not. Dreamworks can survive if this movie bombs, but I'm not sure the state of Pixar considering Lightyear bombed hard. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:974603768] in Saw Ruby G...
