As someone who’s never been a big fan of the Trolls franchise, I actually think Trolls 3 was shockingly pretty amazing. Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots 2, but I still enjoyed Trolls 3, as it delved into Branch’s past and we got to see him and Poppy in a romantic relationship. 🥰🥰🥰💖💙

I find it hysterical how Wish was originally supposed to have a villain DUO (the king and queen were supposed be villains together) and Wish also has one of the weakest Disney soundtracks of all time. Meanwhile, Dreamworks releases hecking Trolls 3 with a fun badass villain duo AND a kickass villain song "Watch Me Work" (which Im assuming is an original for the movie cause i cant seem to find anything that says its a cover) Like damn Ive seen more fanart for Velvet and Veneer than i have for all of the Wish characters combined. More people are hyped about Trolls 3 than the latest Disney princess movie

I am so happy about the quality Dreamworks put into their movies lately. The Last Wish is absolutely amazing, the Bad Guys was wonderful and I am VERY happy with how they did Trolls 3. They know what good writing brings them now, so we can hope for it to stay this good. Ever since 2021, Dreamworks has been delivering great movies almost every year.

Elemental was actually not that bad. Much like Turning Red, it was better than I expected it to be.

Trolls 3 was a masterpiece of peak cinema. It may not be like Puss in Boots 2 but it's still an amazing film and it was pretty close. Everything about it was amazing and im definitely adding the soundtrack to my playlists

To me, I think Dreamworks won 2023 because Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken and Trolls Band Together are both great movies. Ruby Gillman is a decent new original story and Trolls band Together is a fantastic third entry in the franchise. Plus Trolls 3 may now have become on of my favourite animated movies.

I really don't care what Rotten Tomato Critics or anyone else has to say about Ruby Gillman, I think it was a very good film worth watching and deserved way better than what it got. It's doing better now on Blu-Ray and Digital and No-one can tell me otherwise. Not every film has to be a "Puss in Boot's 2" Level Masterpiece to be enjoyed

Its pretty concerning if a trolls movie was better than a disney anniversary movie-

While I thought Elemental was a decent film compared to the absolute GARBAGE Disney has been making in the past year, it still doesn't hold up to Disney's older films. I think that the last great film they made was Encanto, that movie had gorgeous animation, a heartfelt story, and a banger soundtrack. I hope disney will come back to their sinces and make more movies like it.

As they say "Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed" I enjoyed wish and elemental pretty much more than any Disney movie that came out recently.

I remember being excited about Ruby Gilman. I mostly saw people being skeptical about it, I was in the same boat, but we were hopeful still. It looked like a fun movie. However word got around and too much of the movie was revealed in the trailers. Ended up forgetting about the movie coming out entirely tbh.

Elemental was the best pixar movie this year, the critics are just jealous that fictional character can enjoy their lives and feel love.

When the 1st Trolls movie released, Everyone absolutely HATED it. I remember people being salty over the fact Gorillaz was in it. I LOVED that Gorillazwas in it. Now here we are, everyone is hyping up Band Together and I couldn't be happier. I honestly forgot about Trolls, didn't bother seeing the second one. But the new movie made me a fan and I'm just so livid but happy that I am.

I found Wish to be super boring but Elemental was pretty good. Now I haven’t seen the new Trolls but Ruby Gillman was fantastic. I loved it a ton. But I do think Disney is going downhill a little

I’d say Ruby Gillmans (the movie) struggles were valid. They literally put up Puss in Boots 2 and they must’ve been overworked.

The thing with Trolls: Band Together is that it seems like the filmmakers were exhausted after the scale and ambition of the second film, that they went for a lower stakes story, meaning it had less pop songs and less characters

Ruby gillman is REALLY not as bad as everyone is saying it is.Its quite a good movie.Havent seen wish just yet so I'll see about that.

When i was a kid, i grew up watching both Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks and i loved watching their films as they are parts of my childhood. I'm one of the kids who lived during Disney Revival Era as one of the firsts films (probably the first one) i watched in theaters was Princess and the Frog. After that i watched other films (Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Moana). About the recent Disney films like Raya, Encanto and Strange World, i found them ok and i found it sad that Disney receive so much hate for good and bad reasons. About Pixar and Dreamworks, I love them equally. But everytime they focus on Disney hate, they include undersevedly Pixar in the hate and they use Dreamworks including Illumination against it, which make me angry. I bet in alternative reality where if Disney bought Dreamworks instead of Pixar, then they would hate Dreamworks instead of Pixar just because its part of Disney. That's why i hate Disney vs Dreamworks edits since Strange World bombing and Puss in Boots 2 succeeding and then Disney vs Dreamworks/Illumination since Super Mario Bros grossed 1 billion and now Disney vs Dreamworks/Illumination/Sony since Spider Man ATSV. That hate made me more defending for Disney (yes i know they make very bad decisions and mediorce content). I was happy when Ruby Gillman flopped (underservedly) with my mind that they will stop editing that rivalry. But since Wish is flopping and is receiving hate for being lackluster, it seems the rivalry will continue. What i can say is that Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks have their ups and downs, and i still like all of them. I hope 2024 will be a good year for Dreamworks and Disney/Pixar (Kung Fu Panda 4, Inside Out 2, Orion and the Dark Netflix and some 2024 upcoming Disney film, probably Zootopia 2).

It’s funny because I excepted Dreamworks to come out stronger this year after Puss in Boots, but then Elemental came out and I was genuinely hooked onto it, even to this day. Ruby Gillman and Trolls 3, however, one had a really predictable story and nonexistent marketing, and the other was just an okay sequel. (I’m not fond with Trolls, even if the music is a bop) I see it as Disney won just by a tiny slight margin. Wish may be doing terribly, but I personally don’t see the complaints people make about it. I just thought it was a nice film at best.

The marketing for Ruby Gillman not existing def seems to be a regional thing, bc it was plastered EVERYWHERE here in Australia (at the very least, it was in my specific state)

The thing that made Pixar so great was the sad and relatable storyline that we views won’t ever forget 😢

Tbh dreamworks won in my opinion. Although Ruby Gillman was just okay ish but it was waaaaaay better than what Disney had spit out and trolls band together does visually look better than wish with its vibrant colours and catchy songs and decently established characters unlike wish with just lukewarm underdeveloped characters

That elemental character saying "clod" 😂 too bad the kid wasn't a green dorrito.

I'd say it's a tie for me. Both companies have had their ups and downs this year not just because of movie quality and/or quantity, but also because of the current inflation going on.

When it comes to movies and box office, Elemental kinda carries. Like, yea Disney won this year

I remember going to see elementals on a Tuesday at 4 pm. The theater was empty it was amazing

I found elemental pretty charming I haven't watched the other 3 movies

Idk how anyone can dislike elemental. That movie is one of my all time favorites nothing too crazy but its everyday life but heartwarming and inspiring

Before gillman came out i remember people talking about it because of the LA Little Mermaid. But they also kind of spoiled the movie with the trailers? I think

Money maker or not if we fan get a boss baby tv show, we can get a Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken TV show. For Disney Wish is proof once again that sticking to the concept art is a lottery for the end results success.

Elemental was an honestly good movie that was simply hurt by the tarnished and garbage Disney/Pixar branding. Word of mouth helped it as opposed to most Disney based movies where they are almost always negative these days.

I genuinely loved trolls 3, I slightly remember the 1st and never saw the second but the soundtrack carried it and the characters where actually really enjoyable

Velvet and Veneer, the best part of Trolls 3 😔🙏✨

OK I’m gonna be on topic and off-topic. Let me start off by saying this first I think DreamWorks wins because I feel more feel like they’re movies resonate more with their audience. They treat their audience with the maturity that is needed that they touch on heavy topics are well implemented within the story, which doesn’t break the immersion, which is why I can appreciate DreamWorks. That’s why I love Puss in boots how to train your dragon, kung fu panda because those movies are growing up with their audience. Disney for the most part I can say they kinda treat their audience like children like and then not trying anything new like anything newest they’re trying to try somehow in our part of Disney just tries to not give that movie the attention it deserves or try to hold back on that new innovative way that’s gonna be risky and Disney does not take a risk and that’s the problem. ChillyChivy i’m not so sure that you heard of this, but Disney Pixar movies soul,Luca and turning red are going to be heading to theaters. I just wanted to know your thoughts on it and thought I am not too sure about it. I feel like the movie might get overshadowed by the newer movies that come out.

Elemental was the biggest surprise for me this year. I remember watching the movie with low expectations but ended up loving it in the end. The movie single handily carries Disney to victory this year.

The only one of these 4 movies I actually saw was Ruby Gillman. And like you said, it has its fanbase, of which I am a part of. I am a HUGE Ruby Gillman fan and I want it to actually become a franchise. Yeah, it has a few flaws, but I will defend it with my dying breath. I’m on DreamWorks’ side and I’m just not a fan of Disney animation anymore like I was as a kid. Mostly because their corporation is too big and powerful and I like that Katzenberg founded DreamWorks as a massive slap in the face to Disney.

They were original ideas for wish that didn’t make it to the final film where the star was going to a magical human boy with shape shifting and show King Magnífico and Queen Amaya as a villain couple I think that could’ve worked better in my opinion who knows

I watched Trolls 3 as a joke and ended up hyperfixating on the movie xD like i didn’t even know the characters names before i watched it. So yeah i think it was really cool and i’d give it 8/10 overall because there was definitely not enough Velvet and Veneer

I think partly the reason why wish failed was not to do with plot, although that too. When I saw the trailer, I really didn't get what it was about. Typically with these princess movies, it's based off of something. So like Snow White and the seven dwares was based off of Snow White and seven dwarfs. I didn't really get the concept of this film from the trailers, so I was disinterested. Now that I've gotten more information about the concept, I think I would have gone and seen it. But I also got that concept from people reviewing it, and giving it a bad review. So definitely not anymore but with that being said, I think the trailer is should have emphasized what the movie was about. Maybe just play the opening number, as that should be the song that explains what the concept is.

DreamWorks definitely ate. Trolls 3 and Puss in boots 2 were great. The only not good one was Teenage Kraken. So you can give props to them. They released only 3 movies this year and still gain quite a audience.

elemental released way later in other countries so im not surprised it was so low at first

Back then, I was HYPED, hyped for teenage kraken, I dreamed about it but The whole storyline was changed because it’s a dream, but I got to watch the actual thing in an website, For me though, I like it, And still do

In the UK, puss in boots didn’t come out till march this year, so I still consider it from this year

I'd say Dreamworks is maybe not this year but in general, doing better cuz it's playing the long game and building a good but not impecable reputation. They throw out an experimental masterpiece then a mid commercial movie to balance out expectations, so that when they again release something good it feels refreshing. And that's only furthered by Disney's constant mid to mediocre releases.

I feel like it’s a tie between Disney and Dreamworks this year because they both had one success and one flop for this year. Now if we look at the box office I say Disney won because for the successes that Disney and Dreamworks had, Elemental made $495,947,021 million dollars while Trolls band together made $163,599,652 million dollars. For the flops that they both had, Ruby Gillman teenage kraken made $4.61 million dollars while WISH made $98.3 million dollars ( read an article about it just now).

I absolutely love dreamworks and disney. All of their past movies have been great and i think people kinda forget what they are capable of and when one bad project comes out they stick their nose up to the new stuff and nit pick every little thing about it. When i went to go see Encanto after Raya the Last dragon came out, there was no one in that theater, but as soon as it hit disney plus, it was the most popular movie on the internet. Its like as soon as people here the word Disney now, they think is going to be bad, which makes no sense to me. I go and see a movie no matter what the last one from the studio was like because both of them have made some pretty amazing stuff. Its just like marvel, just because Spiderman was good, then Mobius is bad, doesn't mean the next movie will be. Personally as an artist, the animation of Wish looks better than Frozen II. Yes, i wish it would have been 2d, maybe like Klaus, but it definitely doesnt look cheap. I know what unrendered models look like and those have been rendered (referring to how someone said they still looked like they were in the modeling process). As for the marketing for all of these, they all kept popping up everywhere i looked. The thing about ruby Gillman that didn't really sell me is that they spoiled the villain in the trailer, when its supposed to be a twist. thats why i try not to watch the trailers anymore, thats also why i like disney's trailers because they dont give much of the plot, just the world of the story. I really look forward to watching Wish and trolls 3 and then inside out 2, kung fu panda 4, and elio because i know they will be great.

Elemental was such a cute movie I loved it

W for DreamWorks Animation. I find it sad for Disney this year, at least Disney did fine with Elemental with it's comeback.

When you think about it, it's so funny that disney who's known to do amazing songs that stick in your head for decades, made one of the worst disney villain song ever this year, while dreamworks released a far better soundtrack the same month that I actually listen to on repeat since trolls 3 came out (and "watch me work" is such an amazing villain song for the irony of the lyrics while also going so hard instrumentally, while the wish villain song has some terrible lines and is completely forgetable). The fact that the Trolls franchise, of all franchises, took the W on disney this year is hilarious to me

So. I actually loved all of these movies, and thought they deserved more attention than what was given to them, but I kind of have Elemental at the top and the other movies kind of tied enjoyment wise, so Disney won in a technicality for me.

I think the reason why Ruby Gillman bomb is most likely due to Universal because the marketing budgets of the Super Mario Bros movie and Oppenheimer which left DreamWorks with very little to market since DreamWorks is under Universal and to a extent Comcast

I think that Dreamworks really has an upper hand because even though Disney is “technically” doing better, movies like Wish and Lightyear are really tarnishing their reputation. If dreamworks makes a mediocre movie, people say “well it’s dreamworks.” But when Disney does (and is currently doing) people lose respect for the company, and the fact that Disney+ keeps putting put bad show after bad show, people are starting to DISLIKE disney as a whole.

Trolls 3> Wish, Elemental > Gillmore Disney is still slightly higher simply because of the 4 movies released Elemental was the strongest and give the most hope for future projects.

Elemental was really good, Ruby Gilman was incredibly mid, I haven't seen Trolls 3 since I was already too old for this franchise by the time the first one came out and Wish is basically Disney's Ruby Gilman.

I work in Walmart and they already have a LOT of wish toys in clearance.

The ONLY reason I’m gonna watch the Trolls movies now is so I’m all caught up for Band Together when it releases on DVD. I never saw the Trolls movies and didn’t really like them from what I saw, mostly because it looked a bit too kid-friendly for my taste. But thanks to Velvet and Veneer from Trolls 3, and a clip from Trolls World Tour, I’m gonna give the Trolls franchise a watch now.

I can't give an opinion on Ruby Gillman and Wish since I haven't seen them (don't intend to), but out of Elemental and Trolls Band Together I would choose Elemental. Yes! It did feel like a Pixar movie. Couldn't agree with you more on that statement. I thought the movie was so deep and the visuals, of course, were absolutely beautiful. Thomas Newman's score was amazing! I loved it. Trolls Band Together was a good movie. It was very entertaining, I liked the plot, and I agree was better than its predessecors. Good for DreamWorks on achieving this. However IMO it doesn't come close to surpassing Elemental.

I'd say Disney. GOTG vol. 3 and Elemental are better than your average Disney content these days. I didn't care for DreamWorks too much this year, especially in comparison to last year.

it's crazy how much budget Disney spent for their movies compare to Dreamworks

13:47 *GOGILLER MENUS ONE* 😱🗣️🦖🔥

Elemental vs Trolls 3: - Elemental was ok, not the greatest Pixar movie, but not bad either - haven’t seen trolls 3, so I don’t have anything to say about it Ruby Gillman vs Wish: Not even close… - I had such a great time watching Ruby Gillman in the theater, an underrated gem imo - I already heard everything I need to hear about wish

Honestly they all were great movies

my favorite thing about trolls was the soundtrack lol

Instant subscribe after watching this video - great content!

At least the visuals of these movies are nice and that’s it

I actually thought elemental was a really great movie and Pixar’s best love story since wall-e as for wish I’m unfortunately gonna need a 2nd viewing before I can give my full thoughts on the film as I was getting over a cold at the time but for now I can say the animation was beautiful and the soundtrack was great

I could relate to elemental which was nice, I loved the concept of elements and the love story was sweet. I also loved the game scen where they did the actual wave cuz it reminded me of watching soccer games with my dad when i was younger. 😂 It wasnt a masterpiece but it was good and simple. I couldn't really stand Wish though, it was just boring.

I only watched The Little Mermaid remake and Trolls Band Together in the cinema, and even as a big fan of TLM I gotta say Trolls was DEFINITELY a better film for me, had so much fun in the cinema watching it and the songs are masterpieces

Personally, I think it's a tie! Yes, Ruby Gillman does have a fanbase, but it also had TERRIBLE advertising, and that brings it back down a little.

Wish has 106M now and going kinda good, with Christmas and holidays soon it actually can get to 200M

i’m still baffled by early reviews of trolls 3. there are a lot of videos on this very site heavily bashing it, which is odd because it’s so much better than the other two movies. its a little standard, yeah, but it plays with its theme of family really well and the villains are hilarious. i genuinely can’t help but feel like some critics were blinded by how little they liked the first two movies and couldn’t see the marked improvement right in front of them

I’m actually surprised that the comments here are being mature. While I think Disney probably peaked after Zootopia, stuff like Turning Red, Encanto, Elemental and even Once Upon a Studio shows that Disney may be down but they are definitely not out. Even Wish was decent if just overhated. As for Dreamworks, for every good movie they make, there’s five bad or mid ones, so Dreamworks ain’t that perfect either. Bad Guys was great, Last Wish was brilliant and if Trolls 3 didn’t have Amy Schumer in it, I’d consider it decent. But we all know the true winner here is Sony because they made the Spiderverse movies and those are by definition, a work of art.

All Trolls 3 has to do is break even and Dreamworks wins, and by a lot. Disney's biggest problem is just how much they are spending to make these movies. As good as Elemental was, it still lost money by a thin margin, but I hear Wish has to make something like around 650 to 800 Million just to break even.

I think Illumination crushed both with the Mario movie.

I LOVED ELEMENTAL AND I ALSO LOVED THE TROLLS MOVIES

Elmental was so great to watch especially with your lover. Butttt. Dreamworks wins my heart it has always done so and will continue to.

I love all of the trolls movies but I especially love trolls 3

I think it's a draw, they are around the same level of quality, DreamWorks inconsistency giving them a slight advantage because they could pull something really good sandwiched around several mediocre films.

If this was Disney and Dreamworks 2022, holy god would Dreamworks slaughter.

I watched the original trolls when I was a young kid, and now I’m a lot older and I watched the third movie this time around and it’s good.

*I genuinely think Disney won.* Because *WISH* wasn’t that bad, it felt perfect. As a movie, heck no. But as a movie to HONOR Disney? Indeed. And that’s probably why it’s almost 2D, and also why there’s so many references to it’s previous films in this one.

King Mangifico's song is catchy BUT not as memorable and epic as Be prepared, Hellfire and Poor unfortunate souls. Thoses songs told us a lot about the villains, have beautiful animation and music. It's always fun to sing them, puts me in a good mood. Magnifico's song would be perfect in a Tiktok musical, not Disney's celebration for their 100th year. I saw the movie 3 days ago and remember one lyric; '' What's the prob? '' and... that's it. In short, compare to previous villains song; his is meh 😐

THE MARIO 3D WORLD MUSICCC 14:59 😭😭😭😭💘💘💘💘

I was never really into the franchise (I six when the first movie came out so, go figure 😂) but I did like it. I still shy away from watching the first movie because I kinda cringe when I see it (a lil bit, not too much) and the second movie is good, and the third… I can write an entire essay on it but I loved it. Best movie I’ve probably ever seen this year. (Besides Zootopia lol) It had basically what people wanted out of Disney’s Wish. A good villain duo (even more after seeing the concept art for Wish. Like, Disney, we could’ve had our first villain duo for you in Disney history.) and an incredibly good soundtrack. And a couple lol. Still super disappointed after learning that we could’ve gotten a Star Boy love interest! It would’ve been the first couple in Disney (for the protagonist) in a little less than a decade.

Disney did great in 2021 with Encanto, and DreamWorks in 2022 with Puss in Boots the Last Wish

Dreamworks will always hold a special place in my heart, so it makes me really happy to see the it winning this year😁😁

The real winner in Sony Animation this year

Doesn't really make sense to include Pixars movies as part of Disney's roster, since not only are they handled mostly by Pixar, resulting in movies that are drastically different, they also just don't help them win this year.

Despite wish being a massive disappointment I thought Disney won cuz I quite liked elemental while I thought ruby gillman was a disappointment and I didn’t care to watch trolls 3 cuz it looks trash

I think Adam Sandler did the best with his movie Leo

hello, i just watched trolls: band together yesterday dreamworks

Tbh I have some interest in trolls three and elemental, might check them out

Have you seen The Boy and the Heron? Also I think Barbenheimer won this year.

ruby gillman and trolls 3 were both great movies 8.9/10 and 8.8/10 but wish and elemental were bad and forgettable movies 0/10 1/10 disney never going to be good but dreamworks is getting better lol thats my opinion with the disney and the best dreamworks 😅

The poor marketing & late merch for Teenage Kraken mightve been because they pushed it out early to get ahead of Disney's Little Mermaid remake. Wouldnt be the first time Dreamworks rushed a release to get ahead of Disney. Poor Rise of the Guardians 😅

I did see a pretty popular advertisement for teenage Kraken because I play Gacha online on Roblox (don’t judge please) and they had a pretty big advertisement there so I did kind of want to see it but I still didn’t..

I don’t know who won but everybody everybody lost.

Disney’s downfall is making me hate Canada and DreamWorks is making me hate canada

I think the thing that got people mad about elemental was because it looked like a boring romance movie with melodrama. They did NOT advertise right as the movie had a lot of good themes and relatable characters. I blame the marketing for that movie and it’s flop. (Heard it became very popular on Disney plus though 👍)

Let’s give both Disney and Dreamworks a silver and gold trophy for the year 2023 and my review of all four movies Elemental: I love this movie so much as a hopeless romantic I even had the opportunity to watch in the theater during a family weekend in Dallas with my parents and two younger sisters though they don’t think my element puns are funny 😍 Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken: meh and I don’t even know why when I normally love watching movies with mermaids but my youngest sister likes it so I watch it for her sake 😐 Trolls Band Together: although I don’t like how I got my access to watch it this is my favorite one in the three movies we have so far particularly showings the ups and downs of having brothers/sisters I enjoy seeing Branch’s older brothers and the soundtrack is chef’s kiss and Poppy and Branch are adorable 🥰 Wish: I haven’t seen it yet but I will watch as a Disney fan especially since I went to Disneyland for my graduation trip but from what I hear I am afraid of developing opinions in the minority and people wanting me dead as a result
