Oh, and I almost forgot to mention all the trailers before Your Name, too. Pretty much all standard western animation fare; Leap, Despicable M3, Captain Underpants (first time seeing that one) and LEGO Ninjago... but special mention goes to the overly bombastic teaser trailer for My Little Pony: The Move, which will probably be okay (I mean, I thought the show was alright enough), but whose inclusion before Your Name struck me as remarkably misaimed advertising.

I saw the trailer to the Ninjago thing, and was pretty surprised by how fun, slightly adult, saturday-morning-cartoon it looked. Trailer looked nice. For whatever reason, I just can't get excited about Leap. The trailer does nothing.

Ninjago is almost certainly gonna be good, going by the last two Lego movies. I mean, at least one of the other attendees in the theater clearly thought otherwise, given she was asking why they're making Lego movies, but screw that, I'll take silly Lego movies like the last two any day. Leap... eh, yeah, something about it seems kind of off to me, like the delivery of "tonight... was a good performance" (or how the Statue of Liberty is in Paris being built green, when it should be shining copper at this point in time - the green is oxidation, argh). I dunno. At least they got Mel Brooks? As if that'd save the film. (I mean, he's apparently the guy screaming about his beauty sleep being interrupted by the kids, and did he really save the trailer?)

Mel Brooks has been in a few movies and has contributed gently caress all to them. His Hotel Transylvania scenes were awful.

Captain Underpants looks like it'll be hilarious and it hits the exact tone the books had - cheeky, slightly subversive, and fun.

There seems to have been some kind of translation error, because I went to the movie I thought was Your Name, but instead of some kind of animated tour de force I was subjected to an aesthetically sterile, stupefyingly generic, superficial, tedious, predictable, boring piece of garbage? I almost left halfway through, but I thought perhaps they would locate the correct reel (or digital file these days) that contained the good movie that people pranked me into expecting, or would experience the world's greatest twist or something to launch us into the realm of some kind of, perhaps, interesting film, but nope. Genuinely wish I'd walked out.

21 Muns posted:Is it really for a younger demographic than DM3? There's certainly less of a social stigma attached to watching a Despicable Me film. Not to mention the Minions being extremely popular with teenagers and young adults. Then again, Your Name seems like the kind of release that solely attracts animation enthusiasts, so maybe they figured they'll show as many cartoon trailers as possible in the hope that someone will be interested.

Samuel Clemens posted:Not to mention the Minions being extremely popular with teenagers and young adults.  The only teenagers and young adults I've encountered who like the Minions are in, like, the top percentile of lameness and dorkiness. It's considerably less popular with teenagers and young adults than My Little Pony, which as you point out is extremely uncool. Minions are for children and middle-aged-to-old people. They occupy the same sector of the public imagination as Teletubbies.

Our circles of acquaintances must differ greatly, because I've met far too many 20-somethings who are way into anything Minions-related.

So we're doing the thing again where we do a crappy version of a bona fide classic and then have lovely Tom and Jerry in the background not affecting the plot at all. E: Tim Burton can rest easy knowing he has no longer made the worst Wonka movie.

I really liked the part where the two main characters finally meet after this intense ostensibly emotional chase (that makes no sense and doesn't help), she immediately calls him a "hentai" for touching her boobs every morning, and he goes "ugweeeh?" and is embarrassed for touching her boobs when he was her, every morning, in scenes that the audience had been routinely subjected to. That's a real sensitive and interesting film you've got there.

This seems like an entirely predictable result of watching an anime movie to me. IMO anime is not on-topic for this thread, which is more about animation produced for art or for money as opposed to animation produced to get off. Even though I haven't watched Your Name myself, I'm glad someone here did who can provide an honest report on it to dispel the illusion that it's a Great Movie that's Not Like The Animes You're Thinking Of and Totally Watchable For The Articles and Please Ignore Those Boob Shots.

The one interesting part of the film is approximately 30 seconds of animation where they gussied up the completely rote art style with pastel, because it briefly transported me back to Princess Kaguya and I got about a minute of thinking, "Ahhh, now there was a film where the lead characters had personalities and the film itself was bold enough to have what I can only describe as... characteristics."

The quantity of money this "film" generated in Japan is, IMO, sufficient to justify a military intervention. (It was in excess of 300 million dollars. It was the highest-grossing thing at their box-office last year.) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
