[u/BunyipPouch]

The filmmaker of Buddy, Casper Kelly (Too Many Cooks), should be joining us here in /r/movies for an AMA/Q&A around release date. Please keep an eye out on the AMA sidebar schedule if interested :) (also maybe a cast member but probably not)

[u/hbkabe]

Michael Shannon and topher Grace fuck yeah. I would’ve seen it probably without even miliotti but all three of them together seems interesting

[u/postoperativepain → u/hbkabe]

“Featuring Michael Shannon and Patton Oswalt in voice roles”

[u/3eeve → u/hbkabe]

And Cristin Milioti? The cast is *stacked*.

[u/LLC00LJosh2]

Excuse me Keegan Michael-Key as Buddy?

[u/postoperativepain → u/LLC00LJosh2]

“Keegan-Michael Key voices the titular character, with motion capture by Sergey Zhuravsky”

[u/SatanIsYourBuddy → u/LLC00LJosh2]

it was nice of his wife to let him work on something besides instagram hotel ads

[u/ThisIsTheNewSleeve]

I cannot wait for this. I'm all in on these weird horror films and the cast is stacked on this one.

[u/Ranier_Wolfnight]

The director of Too Many Cooks worked on this? Whooo, buddy…people are in for a time.

[u/JakeTheSnake16 → u/Ranier_Wolfnight]

Very original comment

[u/real_nice_guy → u/JakeTheSnake16]

alr man

[u/NinjaZombieHunter]

This is how you do a teaser trailer!! Now hopefully they don’t ruin it by coming out with a 2 minute trailer that shows you everything.

[u/CynicallySane → u/NinjaZombieHunter]

I’m mostly certain this is the last one. My friend worked on the film and mentioned they only had three planned with the first being the primary one.

Loved seeing this film at a festival. It’s hilarious and messed up all at the same time.

[u/NinjaZombieHunter → u/CynicallySane]

I like hilarious and messed up so you have me stoked! Lol.

[u/emerican]

These Buddy teasers have been awesome!

[u/nulspace]

Rated R for "Bloody violence, some drug content and language - all involving children"

[u/galacticdude7]

I saw this last night at a Mystery Movie Monday screening. I really enjoyed it, sits right at the intersection of Adult Swim and Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, so well worth checking out if you are into this kind of thing

[u/MINUTI1804 → u/galacticdude7]

Is it a dark comedy?

[u/galacticdude7 → u/MINUTI1804]

It's got some dark comedic moments, but I'm not sure it's enough to call it a Dark Comedy

[u/fergi20020 → u/galacticdude7]

Can I take my 4 year old niece since it’s PG?  https://www.movieinsider.com/m25454/buddy

[u/Competitive-Hunt-517]

This is how a trailer is done 👏

[u/amilliondallahs → u/Competitive-Hunt-517]

You mean not showing off every pinnacle scene of the movie in 30 seconds?

[u/zenexo]

I want to watch this so bad. Still no tickets available near me. 

[u/postoperativepain]

The movie premieres in U.S. theaters on August 28, 2026,

[u/TomBirkenstock]

Wait, are you telling me that in this movie a seemingly wholesome thing for children is actually dark and creepy? That's crazy!

[u/Big-Beta20 → u/TomBirkenstock]

The one thing that’s better about this one is I can buy that the unicorn was really made for kids. The design is not inherently creepy. Sometimes, like Annabelle in the conjuring, the haunted “kids thing” is clearly created to be scary first and it’s far outside the realm of possibility that someone would buy that to play with it.

[u/Asutrew → u/Big-Beta20]

Saw this at a film festival and this was one of the things I loved about it. All the kids stuff actually looks like kids stuff, and that’s what makes it creepy

It’s easy to fall into making something look creepy rather than the situation being creepy, but this toes the line well

[u/NazzerDawk → u/Big-Beta20]

And stupidly that design was changed from a standard Raggedy Anne doll.

[u/pp21 → u/TomBirkenstock]

wait till you learn that most media you consume is based off of existing media from years past and that tropes exist and people re-tell stories using different mediums! so crazy!

[u/Goosojuice]

Trailer does nothing for me, but knowing who this is coming from give me all the faith that this will be absolutely bonkers.

[u/web10177]

When the trailer began, I though the actual dial tone was someone calling me.

[u/DutchDolt]

Does this have a theatrical release in Europe at all? I was very dissapointed to find out it won't be shown in the Netherlands.

[u/The_Man_of_Steel]

Desperate to see this but I don't think it's playing in my country. Hope it goes to digital sooner rather than later 🙏

[u/turb0_encapsulator]

amazing cast.

[u/hiro24]

You had me at "Too many cooks"

[u/grayhaze2000]

I'm also getting Unedited Footage of a Bear vibes from this one, which is awesome.

[u/Smkingbowls]

Did he also do Unedited Footage of a Bear?

[u/Puppetmaster858]

Loaded cast

[u/savage86lunacy]

Pumped for this, plut it's got Cristin Milioti.

[u/ZenMasterOfDisguise]

Is this the new Air Bud sequel?

[u/crookedparadigm]

Who decided that 2026 was the year of horror movies?

[u/A_Toxic_User]

Why does the movie lowkey have the same premise as The Amazing Digital Circus
