Would somebody PLEASE give this guy a show deal already!

Also he posted a breakdown. Looks like he animates 3D blockouts in Blender and draws over them with the grease pencil tool.

What's really impressive is how he managed to capture the pacing of an old animated commercial so accurately.

All of those child actor villain characters stem from the 60s movie "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?". The villain from Cats Don't Dance was also an evil child actor right?

As good of an idea as this is for a movie, it's really lovely that this is where we're at culturally. "We don't wanna finance this movie, but if you can make it viral on the internet we'll consider it." These companies really are run by robots huh.

It's so clearly a good idea for a successful animated feature that it speaks poorly of WB that they're this afraid of the risk. What if it doesn't get enough upvotes!?

Seems like it was a long time coming. A lot of my friends from art school got scooped up by Rooster Teeth for their first jobs to animate on RWBY. I had heard that they never paid well and worked them to the bone and gave them titles and responsibilities they weren't ready for.

One of them told me about having to deal with the "famous" members of the staff too and that sounds like a nightmare.

The issue is the whole thing falls apart if the subsides get reduced.

Kinda hoping this happens to these giant US based studios exclusively. Or at least make the studio heads move out of Hollywood and into Canada whole hog if they're so reliant on taking government money for their highly profitable shows.

I wish the US had cultural subsidies like Canada but imagine how the average American taxpayer would react if their money were being spent on cartoons.

Boy, Pixar really let Disney hollow them out huh. Feels like everything they make is an "in case of emergency break glass" sequel or spinoff when they aren't making their originals like Elemental and Soul, which seem to be getting blander.

Stretchy metal lips huh. Something kinda off here but I bet they look better in the actual movie.

I just caught an ad for it on TV and yeah the robots look a lot better in motion. The movie looks very shiny, like a more lighthearted version of those Cybertron games, also no humans which could be a plus.

Bad trailer joke editing is there to keep parents and kids from being intimidated by the product before they see it. The movie itself may very well be fine but it's a marketing tool. If the dog doesn't whine and cover their eyes in embarrassment to an unrelated gag, then parents won't know the movie is family friendly.

Was just reminded, Ralph Breaks the Internet, while terrible, had a pretty great joke at the end about how the rabbit eating pancakes sequence from the trailer wasn't in the movie

The movie also ends before it can get interesting plot-wise. This kid spent the whole movie turning into animals and now he's the king. They could have done something where none of Merlin's lessons taught him how to lead a state and he has to go it alone while Merlin hangs out in present day (60's) Bermuda.
