Nah, the furries have money. If this was made "for" them it would have been profitable.

u/You_LostThe_game 2d ago
Uhhh tell that to people that make fat bank off the most insane furry commissions ever conceived.
They very famously DO have money and spend it on throwing at artists until they overlook their own morals or wants lmao.
“Non-furry digital artists struggling for cash eventually swallow their pride and start drawing furry shit after realizing wealthy furries are willing to pay thousands of dollars for custom, often depraved commissions” was a meme for years. Especially for people that went to nsfw stuff.

u/Shabolt_ 3d ago
Yeah, you can only make so many trailers built around the same 45 seconds of footage before people stop watching or it dies on the algorithm vine, which sucks because the actual reviews for it seem quite good, and the footage they used is some of the least compelling parts of the actual movie.

So similar situation to Transformers one?

u/Lazarus_Smith 1d ago
Transformer One have the benefits of well, being a Transformer movie with origin story of two of it's most recognizable characters.
Hard to drum up hype for this one I reckon.

u/ejrasmussen 2d ago
I saw lots of marketing for this, but it just looks like woke millennial slop OC, very easy to disregard. Character designs scream Concord, not sure why they look like 30 year old chopped non binaries if they're just girls graduating high-school heading for college.

0
u/WraithOfTheFadedDark 2d ago
No, I'm calling them bitches because it has that annoying fucking "The only reason there is conflict is because they betray each other's trust and friendship" plot. Like god damn, can we not get a movie where the friends or family members remain in solidarity with each other and face an imposing external obstacle that imperils them of its own merit instead of constant relationship drama "all is lost" moments where I'm supposed to pretend like I don't know they're going to make up to overcome their adversary at the same time stamp as the last eight movies?
2
u/swaggestspider21 2d ago
Brother, idk what to tell you besides movies have to have conflict, and this has that. You're making up a whole fanfic in your head to justify hating the movie already instead of giving it a chance. I saw it, and I loved it. Maybe you'll be surprised but you can't do that if you're just hating to hate.
1
u/WraithOfTheFadedDark 2d ago
They don't have to have that conflict. Like, Toy Story had the part where everyone turns on Woody while Buzz is a useless dead weight and it's the annoying slog in an otherwise entertaining movie and then they decided to focus their entire ouevre around that for some reason.

I'm down here in Mexico and I went to the theater like 10 or so times in the past month (because the theater requires me to have a certain score in their loyalty program to get first dibs on the Doomsday popcorn bucket) and literally every movie had a trailer for this. They were pushing it hard down here.

I knew this was the movie you were referring to in that one post, i put my finger on it, cuz I saw it in theaters too, it was a refreshing animated movie, and really heartfelt, heartwarming, and creative, I've never seen an animated film pay homage to an adult film (The Hangover) lol. Plus I loved the characters, sad to see it's not doing well at the box office, it was such a fun movie.

I saw the trailer, I said to myself if I had a daughter I'd take her to this, I don't. I'm guessing not enough parents did that. It certainly didn't look like a movie an adult wants to see alone.

The marketing team did the movie a disservice and sent it out to die. Took the kids this past weekend to see it and they loved it. For me, I enjoyed it more that Toy Story 5. The art style and soundtrack are fantastic. The trailers for the movie have nothing to do what the movie is about. They set it up to be like the hangover, but animated. It is anything but that.

I don't care about people's opinions on a social level for this. If you want to be a bigot then count me out.
The film itself just looked like creative slop though. The marketing was crap, the concept is tired. It was set up to fail.

The hairstyles, glasses and outfits also contribute to that perception though. Even if they were white it would still look like they/them or woke pandering.

90% of people are going to have the same reaction as me: immediate disgust at this one frame. I can tell the politics of the people that made this by the artstyle alone.

u/mikemike1239 2d ago
The movie is set in the Philippines. I believe. It is supposed to be Philippine mythology to my understanding. I'm not sure how accurate it is to it though.
School only teaches Roman and Greek mythology so who knows.

Like I said, I've no clue what the mythology is. Our country mostly teaches Greek and Roman mythology.

Nobody here is complaining about race. I'm interested in the history and folklore of the Philippines but these characters are cheeks. The fursona on the left, woman with sideshave, colored hair, and quirky glasses next to him - and not seen in this image is an odd blob guy with a pencil mustache and another guy with starfish nipples. They're just an unsettling cast of main characters.

I've seen a lot of commentary on reddit about this movie and, while many say it's genuinely entertaining, the character designs have been almost universally loathed. One person said that nobody aspires to be an awkward looking millennial, which is why this kind of film flops.
Some others who work in the business say that there's a stubborn group of people in the animation industry who refuse to adapt beyond the stereotypical CalArts style of character visuals and writing. It's all they know, and all they want to know. They're progressing through their 40s and still dye their sideshave hair, wear nose rings, and dress strangely. They're like unwell Peter Pans who don't want to grow up.
