It’s not like they need excuses when almost all the top grossing films are known IPs

@cozmonazo8115 I mean they can technically have a failed film like this when they have more than enough money to tank it, doesn’t mean it’s a great strategy but they can survive it

@@user-x7dc2pq7n fair but it’s not like there’s no market for original films

@@user-x7dc2pq7n i mean it is also an excuse when they fail to market any original films, with most studios at an absolute loss as to how to convince ppl to even watch an original movie anymore unless its a big director. Head of Paramount animation said they are no longer funding original animated films because it's too much of a financial risk. "We’re not going to release an expensive original animated movie and just pray people will come." They make it overly expensive the same way Disney/Pixar are spending way too much time on the technical side than the writing, ballooning average animation films to like 200 mil. Because apparently thats the only thing they see being succesful, every studio is desperately looking for any place to spend more extraordinary amounts of money except the writing department.

That’s a sad reality we live in

Agreed

Well said.

I honestly can't be surprised about Hollywood in general, considering how greed keeps damaging the beauty of cinema all thanks to the executive producers who pretty much screwed over.

@@poweroffriendship2.0 wouldn't a greedy company want to make as much money as possible and not just throw away the money?

They also put it in very few theatres too.

It probably wouldn't have mad momey anyway. It's a hard descision but executives would rather not put in another $50 million to advertise it.

No, Turbo got at least three shows.

It’s the same director

First glimpse of it and yeah i thought "oh dang, Turbo 2 came out?!"

Except I think this movie will fall more under the radar than Turbo did.

Wait, Russell Brand is in this movie? That might explain why Paramount is trying to bury it.

I'm okay with the cliches, it's better than seeing the overly sexualized Disney princess be rescued by a big strong man all the time. I also like how it's not the "shy awkward girl vs mean girl" type of story, either. I'm a girl, so that's how I feel personally. I just think the story looks quite cute and innocent, despite the movie being a bit cheesy and having a lame villain. Also, it's by Nickelodeon and I'm curious to see how it'll play out because compared to what Nickelodeon is known for, this actually looks like a good movie for kids! I mean, I didn't see one perverted joke in the trailer! (When I think of Nickelodeon I think of gross, perverted stuff like iCarly, Victorious and Ren & Stimpy).

​@@jocelynecupcakewhat universe do you live in where Disney princess are overtly sexualized and being rescued by big strong men in the modern age? Because it's certainly not this one.

​@@jocelynecupcakeMay I ask when a disney princess was "over-sexualized"? You seem like you're exaggerating.

@@oksat6495 It's called being the brain-dead 'wamen strong' type to make a comment like that lol

I feel sad for your teacher and her team

Why do I feel like I have seen you in every comment section ever?

GOOD GOD HE’S SPREADING

nothing wrong with that, yall

I. A. GREE.

One DVD store in France? Or is it the last DVD store in the whole world? honestly I'd like to see VHS and DVDs make a comeback someday

Yeah. Video rental stores were awesome because an actual human could recommend you movies you might otherwise not find on an algorithm-based service.

@@jocelynecupcake Only one store unfortunately.

@@mrviking2mcall212 the algorithm doesn't feel that great, it's just some random suggestions. I used to go at a store when i was younger, the guy knew what he was doing and saying. Someone who is passionated by cinema work better than an AI.

maybe that's paramount's plan to do it

I mean it worked with Disney’s Strange World and Pixar’s Elemental so it’s not totally out of the realm of possibilities.

Yup definitely

Ohhhhhhhhhh

that would make sense if Paramount werent as consistently bad at advertising as they are so unfortunately its nothing new I did a search to be sure it seems like the news about his allegations are still somewhat resent (27th of october while today is only November 16th) so if we are assuming your guess is correct still means Paramount left marketing to less than a month before release

the fact that this is from the same director from Turbo

“…as music fits for New Jersey since the state usually gets joked about” I could think of one example: *Everything is legal in New Jersey - Hamilton*

@@omnomandnugget2494as someone who lives in NJ I have no idea why we’re joked about so much other than the fact we’re second fiddle to NY.

I saw the trailer a couple days ago, thought it'd be a trailer that wouldn't leave for a year. But after that day I never saw it again..!

i agree.

Ah yes, I loved the part in the video where he said he couldn't watch the movie.

the bots are getting smarter dang

@@lovepeople777 yeah, it's pretty impressive compared to usual.

He didn’t watch the movie though?

Pretty sure he said it looked good...

Since i heard that Nickelodeon treated Hillenburg like trash, despite the fact that his show made them famous as well. I stopped to watch anything that come from them. Also, they litterally waited for his death to use his characters as LGBT tokens, as that wasn't his idea and he wasn't interested in politics. He cared about the quality of his show, he even returned at some point as the show was going down.

@@QueSeraSeraaaa fair enough. I guess the only thing I was trying to say was that purely looking at the shows and movies that were made, Rango did show that they were capable of making good and creative original stories

IKR I'm outraged by how Ruby Gillman sank so low and deserved so much better. Disney's so overrated and always has been. Sure, the Frozen franchise was good, so was Encanto, Brave, Coco, BH6, and Onward, but most stuff by Disney is so cheesy and overrated.

Ruby Gilman was such a good movie and as a Little Mermaid adaptation it's phenomenal. I cannot praise it enough as an adaptation. Katzenberg who founded Dreamworks used to work at Disney and actually was in charge when the original Little Mermaid was made. If you read the novel by Hans Christian Andersen, you'd understand that this version actually reintroduces a lot of the elements (most of those rooted in feminism as Andersen was a supporter of the feminist movement), such as the importance of Ariel's female relatives. Ariel's sisters actually had two important scenes in the novel that the movie scrapped and she also had a grandmother in the novel. I was the only one at the cinema screening that day, so no one could see me lighting up the moment I saw Ruby's grandma. All Disney's live action needed, was to do what Ruby did; bring back more of the novel's feminist elements if they so desperately wanted a modern update instead of creating a confusing worldbuilding to suit their politics. Bring back the important scenes women in Ariel's life had. Bring back the fact Ariel and Ursula weren't fighting over Prince Eric like the original novel. Ruby did all of that, and even managed to capture the friendship bordering on sapphic vibes that Ariel and the princess had as Prince Eric genuinely was in love with another princess and Ursula wasn't involved. Disney mashed their two characters together, and Dreamworks took out them fighting over Eric and brought back Ariel being fine with the dude being in love with his princess. I saw Puss In Boots: The Last Wish and it gave me hope Dreamworks was going back to their old glorious days of Shrek 1&2.Knowing a lot of that stems from Katzenberg wanting to make a statement to his old company, I was stoked when I saw the trailer for Ruby and wondering what the full circle moment of going back to The Little Mermaid would be. Katzenberg lived up to my expectations and I still am raving to anyone who wil listen to me babbling about this movie. Because it's a cheffs kiss of an adaptation.

I hate those types of plots too. If you're looking for some cute animated movie recommendations that aren't the "zero to hero, get the girl" type of stories, I got a whole list. Most of them even have a female protagonist!
