I'm so annoyed by this. Nintendo has some of the most valuable, untapped IPs ever, and they're choosing to make an animated film with their flagship character via the near-bottom rung of animation studios.

The 1993 Super Mario Bros movie really spooked them. The upcoming Detective Pikachu film will be the first 'live action' Nintendo film they've signed off on in a quarter century.

So what your saying is it was made by your uncle not at Nintendo

I could see them going with Dreamworks, which makes occasional non-trash, but no one's excited for the next Illumination film.

My best guess as to what happened is that Dreamworks would have ideas about how the film should be done, Illumination will just roll over and obey every order to the letter without question.

I'm absolutely sure no one will be even remotely interested in a Nintendo film made by Illumination. Nope, can't think of a single person of any age group on this planet for whom this would possibly merit some excitement.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:I was surprised what an accurate impression the trailer gave of the movie, but I expected it to be just middling instead of terrible. I went in to Loving Vincent knowing basically nothing about the painter and expecting the film to rest entirely on the (very cool!) stunt of painting everything. When I came out of it I was pleasantly surprised that there was some semblance of story. Now I’m wondering if they’d have been better off without. Another victory for low expectations.

I can't imagine it being made any other way, and if we must have video game movies I wish more of them were like this

Hi! Here is a 1968 Russian animated short film about film making entitled Film Film Film It's pretty funny. I read about it in a different thread, but don't remember seeing it here.

As much as we grump about Illumination, hasn't literally every one of their movies been disgustingly successful?

I think a big thing with mario is that in animation he's not really a sacred property. Like he's was in 5 extremely low quality US cartoons. And who knows how many anime versions. Like nintendo seems extremely not shy about mario cartoons and making them big prestige things doesn't seem like a priority. Like King Koopa's Kool Kartoons was not a thing nintendo worried about their brand for.

Well, you can't really judge how they treat their IP in 2017 from cartoons that aired in like 1994.

Yeah, by 1994 standards, the Mario cartoons is about the same quality as all other video game cartoon adaptations (Darkstalkers, Street Fighters, Mega Man, Zelda): Terrible by today's standards, but passable for the time - hell it got one up on Darkstalkers by not completely butchering what little characterization they had. I think Nintendo would expect much higher quality now.
