Somebody watched the trailer for Zootopia...


Real original, Illumination. you saw Disney making a movie about a bunch of animals, so you decided you needed to make your own. Oh good, and you found a way to shoehorn some radio hits in there. Little kiddies love those. Look at you, thinking outside the box. You wanna be Disney so bad? Try writing an actual story.

To be fair, there's only so many things you can animate for these feature films. It's either talking humans, talking animals/fantasy creatures, a universe of both, or anthropomorphic animals in a human-like world (with 4th-wall breaking references like Shrek).

Illumination already has the Secret Life of Pets, The Lorax and their Despicable Me/Minion movies. So I don't see why they have to stick to humans and Despicable Me type movies just because Disney is making Zootopia.

You're absolutely right. I just don't like them, so I'm giving them *beep*

are you kidding? animation is the one genre where you can do whatever you want – the sky's the limit, let your imagination run free. instead we get movie with talking animals after movie with talking animals.

"sing" does indeed look horrenduous, the cringe-factor (a casting show? really?) is very high.

Add in a bit of reality TV talent contest, and it seems painfully unoriginal!

Actually, this has been in the works for a while.

It had been announced in January of 2014. And they are on schedule.

I knew it, that is the same thing what I thought. Zootopia as musical w/ Cats Don't Dance mixed in.

There are plenty of animated films with animal characters coming out this year. How does Disney have a lock on this?

You know, that making a movie takes a while, don't you? Howcould they create this based on a trailer released a few months ago?

reply

To be fair, it looks more like "Animalympics", a film (Which was meant to be two TV specials) about a competition in the animal kingdom.

Which sounds like 'Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics'. The show aired on Saturday mornings on ABC September 1977 – July 1997.

Please dude Zootopia looks disappointing as heck. Hardly laughed at that trailer let alone the tv spots. Sing doesn't look any more funny, but I do like the concept of it more.

reply

..well guess what new_path, Zooptopia was very entertaining and funny, and had a great message for the kids.

..movie rules number 1# - never judge a movie before you seen it, period.

First time in a long time that I know I'm going to see a film in the theater and buy it as soon as it comes out on Blue Ray. The previews are adorable. So far all the characters are my favorites. If I never see another superhero film I won't cry. They're all dark as night (in story & color)and all the action is lightning fast which is annoying.
