Which upcoming 2016 animated film has the best chance to be better than Zootopia?
Kubo and the Two String.
Maybe Finding Dory.
does ice age even sell well since the first couple of movies? who is in charge of beating this dead horse?
>>81242531
I would like it to be Kubo but that's obviously not gonna happen...
Maybe Moana
Everything else this year looks like garbage
>>81242531

Please, just let it die already. And give me my Croods sequel.
Definitely Kubo, maybe Moana. Storks will have a top tier waifu, but that's about it.

>>81243142
Our only hope is they release against a cape movie. Cape is the only thing that can kill ice age at this point.
>>81242959
Why not? I mean, it probably won't make more MONEY than Zootopia, but I believe it has every chance to be better.
You do understand they're not the same thing, right anon?

>Animal Crackers
Usually with a film, you want to start out with an interesting idea, but it's neat to see a studio go in the complete opposite direction and hope for the best.
>Kubo and the Two Strings
A film with a charming visual style from the people who made Coraline, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls? What are you doing alongside this shit fest?
>Sing
The key to a good musical film is good music. Therefore, this film will be goddamned masterpiece for the tone-deaf.
>>81244458
Yes, it's called The Red Turtle and it will also be a French-Japanese co-production.
>>81244598
Ok, then that will be better than Zootopia.
>>81244598
>French-Japanese co-production.
It should at the very least be a visual splendor.
Better question: Which upcoming 2016 animated film has the best chance to be worse than Norm of the North?The Secret Life of Pets, Trolls, and Sing are the most obvious ones.
>>81242531
Is Ice Age seriously going to space?

There are two wild cards: Rock Dog and Spark. Two foreign movies that are completely finished but have had no release date. Rock Dog looks surprisingly decent to me, despite its lack of fur rendering and its by-the-books story.

>>81244232
Has nothing to do with Frankenpenis.
Also, you're implying that piece of shit is even worthwhile when it's got the deadest looking stop motion animated humans because Burton thinks stop motion needs to look shitty and unexpressive to feel genuine, and a story padded out by "wacky" horror references and a Japanese kid that walked out of a World War II cartoon.
>>81242531
/pol/ Birds.
>>81242531
Moana, Kubo, and Finding Dory are the only ones with a remote chance.
>>81246057
Aw well now I can't choose.
They both look so horrible.
>>81245985
Dreamworks bought the rights to Trolls. the toys, the tv rights, the movies, everything. So this movie it meant to promote Trolls. Expect a new toyline to come out before the 2016 holiday season around the time the movie comes out.
This
>>81246057
I'm not certain I understand the casting process for this. So you make a music movie and instead of casting some well knowm musicians like Wiz Khalifa, Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande, Adam Levine etc., they cast Reese Witherspoon? They couldn't get Pharell? He fucking co-composed the music for their Despicable Me movies and is presumably working on 3.
>>81242531
What the fuck? There's a 5th ice age? I didn't even knew the was a third one. Who buys this shit?
>>81242531
All of them.
>>81246545
Everyone.
>>81243128
>>81246375
I saw it. It was pretty good, but it got a little weird around the end.Kumatetsu made my loins burn even more than I thought he would.
>>81246375
Agree. I'd say this is a hair above Zootopia, but either way, they're of about the same quality.
>>81246461
It's fucking Illumination, but to be fair Witherspoon was a great singer in Walk the Line.
>>81242531
None.
Hell, no movie in general this year may top Zootopia. The damn thing has one of the highest RT ratings ever.
>>81246729
I'm not saying she isn't. But if the whole gimmick of the movie is animals singing popular music, then maybe casting popular musicians might be a solid idea to consider.

>The Secret Life of Pets, Trolls, and Sing are the most obvious ones.
The Secret Life of Pets would have been a lot more interesting if it was what the first trailer suggested; an anthology film with mostly unconnected segments about what animals do when their owners aren't around.
Instead, it's a pretty generic "adventure" film.
>>81244797
Secret Life of Pets looks innocuous enough, rabbit shit notwithstanding.
>>81247540
Movie anthologies are dead anon. Along with 2D animation and westerns
>>81247540
When's the last time a major studio made a fucking anthology movie?
>>81247705
>>81247783
That's the whole point really; it would have been something completely different.
>>81243154

>>81247540
It's not even that. It's fucking Homeward Bound, but with a rabbit that shits itself.

Probably going to happen anyway either Moana and Dory
>>81244657

There are people who actually believe this.

Pets
Kubo
Storks
Guaranteed to be shit:
Ratchet and Clank
Ice Age 5
Trolls
Sing
>>81248416
>ratchet and clank
>that second-rate cgi
>that trying too hard to be funny trailerI never played RaC so i don't know what to expect
>>81248555
Never said it was superior to everything, just that it will easily be superior than Zootopia.
>>81242531
You forgot to put Sausage Party on the list.
>>81242531
Any
>>81248729
Go play the games, don't watch the movie.
In particular play Up Your Arsenal, Tools of Destruction, crack in Time and Into the Nexus.
>>81248729
Did you play Sly Cooper or Jak and DaxterI was a jak and daxter fan myself
As for second rate looks like they wanted to make it look like the game as much as possible
>>81247106
My guess is the fuel was a baby that wasn't delivered to her parents so the stork raised her as his daughter. Then hijinks occur and the movie ends with her finally meeting her original parents.
>>81242531
When you have a wacky sidekick character and make a sequel/spin-off staring that sidekick it usually ends in overexposure. So I'm pessimistic about Finding Dory. Though it does look like she's bringing her straight man along for the ride.
Trolls...has a terrible terrible trailer. I've heard something that means I'll glance the reviews when its coming out to see if it's actually a trainwreck. There's a chance it's just a bad trailer / the trailer is worse then the movie.
>Sing
>are you fucking joking
Angry Birds should be terrible but the trailer show it will be average at worse.
Ratchet and clank are very likeable character and I'm excited for the movie...but it isn't going to break new ground or be amazing...
Of the list I think Kubo may have the best shot of competing in quality. In sales several of them stand a chance.
Overall I think Zootopia is going to dominate in overall quality. I don't expect anything else to dethrone it for the year.
>>81244073
>sausage party
jesus it's so fucking terrible i almost forgot that sony has theEmojimovie in the works for us to endure
>>81242531
Kung Fu Panda 3 was pretty great, a lot weaker story wise than the second movie but I enjoyed the feel of the movie way more than ZootopiaAlso i feel like Angry Birds is gonna be one of those shit moviesthat turns out to be really good and dumb, like turbo
>>81246099
Only problems with Spark right now is that it's the same studio that mad Nut Job and the Spark of the final movie is going to sound nothing like he did in the trailer (he is going to be voiced byDan "man with a plan" Schnieder kidJace Norman).
What Jace sounded like when Spark video was posted:

After Free Birds, Reel FX went on to make The Book of Life. I mean, that's a substantial upgrade. Sometimes, studios can evolve. Coincidentally, Reel FX then did contract work on Rock Dog.

What i disappointed with KP3 is the lack of exciting combat sequence just like the first two, they were too short in here. Po barely pull any choreography and being unfocused on any of the fight really bothers me.

I'd actually like to see origami rendered in the Paperman engine. That'd be /po/, the movie.
>>81253253
Now that you mention it, that and the much weaker story behind the fights made it much less impressive than 2. Shen was weaker, but felt more threatening and personal. Plus his fighting style was beautiful. I remember not only tearing up when Po finds his inner peace, but when he applies it in battle. Po finally using chi in the third movie...not so much.
>>81242531
Why is every fucking animated film fucking 3d. I've never seen any 2d unless from a special screening
>>81251315
Turbo was entirely shit, though. The only good thing is the Netflix series.
Anyway, my vote is for Finding Dory. If Pixar can get their groove back Dory has huge feels potential.
>>81254009
Europe needs movies too.
>>81242531

The later installments are the big sellers, the first Ice Age did the worst financially.
Pic related is a list of the highest-grossing animated films (worldwide), Ice Age franchise has 3 in the top 20, like Shrek
People just need to stop making these movies.
Especially Sony, no one gives a fuck about your little clique of first party games whose potential you've squandered over the past decade. Ratchet and Clank may be fun games, but the world isn't exactly something so original and unique that you can build a movie around, the whole style just became gouache and cliche during the PS2 era.
Trolls... because Smurfs worked out so fucking well.
Ice Age... because that needed another fucking sequel.
Moana... this year's 'Brave' reporting for duty as another forced/ham-fisted narrative serving as little more than a device to introduce another Disney Princess.
Finding Dory... Unless it's Toy Story, when it comes to sequels, Pixar really shouldn't.
At least Kung Fu Panda warrants a sequel because whether you like the films or not they're actually successful enough to warrant existing. Same with Angry Birds... even if it's five years too late for anyone to honestly give a fuck.
Storks, The Secret Life of Pets and Animal Crackers are those typical animal CGI movies where they don't know what kind of movie they want to be and were clearly sold on nothing their superficial premise. They try to be smart, but are still too low brow for adults and too boring for kids, and not in the least bit engaging all around. It's the "Surf's Up" formula.
>>81257831
How could a movie as drull and listless as Finding Nemo make so much money?
>>81247352
I'm really looking forward to Long Way North actually, but I thought we were supposed to pick from the movies OP posted
>>81257868
They missed the boat on ratchet and clank by a solid decade. If they had done this back when Tools Destruction came out then maybe but now?
>>81257868
>People just need to stop making these movies.
why? Just don't watch them if they don't mach your pretentious hipster taste
>>81242531
honestly, of all the movies on the list, my choices are:
>kubo
>Storks
>Finding Dory
Kubo will probably be great no matter what and I'm expecting Finding Dory to have a Toy Story 3-esque nostalgia hit from all the people who loved the first one, which is a lot of people.
Storks is the wildcard on this. I doubt it's going to be as good as zootopia story-wise, but if the creators can pull another straight-up comedy out of their hats like Lego Movie, it could stand up as something separate by itself.
>>81258124
Okay, let me rephrase that, so many people making them needs to stop, it's like the early-mid 00s all over again.
>>81258147
Your faith in Storks is admirable if not a tad misguided.
>>81242531
of all those, I only plan on watching Kubo
>>81258877
kek
>>81258857
I think it has plenty of potential to be hilarious and the trailers so far have looked interesting enough, if not amazing.
but of all of the ones on that list, the one I really want to be good is actually TSLOP. I actually have a lot of respect for Illumination (in spite of minions) and I really want to see a new IP from them be successful.
I don't hold out any hope for it being as good as Zootopia, but I actually like how Illumination animates their stuff, their lighting work in particular is really pretty and they have the potential to be a good successor to Dreamworks, should DW finally collapse.
>>81257993
>Long way north
oh god I want to see that so much, it looks gorgeous.
>>81242531
Ratchet and Clank has the potential to be the best video game movie adaption in a long time but it's not going to top Zootopia.
>>81242531
Honestly, outside of the possible foreign film that usually surprises I don't see anything domestically getting the critical reception of Zootopia -- at least I hope it doesn't.
Finding Dory, like all non-Toy Story Pixar sequels, will probably disappoint. Moana, too, is probably gonna be good not great.
Kubo is literally the only American animated film that has a shot, and even then I don't think it will.
>>81259153
I respect that. I've always liked the Despicable Me movies and I do love me some Pharell.
I've always felt similarly about Sony animationfilms. They're keeping the squash and stretch style alive with movies like Cloudy with a chance of meatballs and Hotel Transylvania.
I have hope in Finding Dory
Nemo did well, and he was an unlikable whiny brat. I like the Dory character and while I am genuinely concerned if she gets lost, her brain problems will make her plight fun and entertaining. She's such a pure character, I hope she ends up making friends with every problem that comes her way
>>81259270
Literally Pixar's PR -- the post.
>>81259259
speaking of S&S, that reminds me how pretty much all of Joy's motion in Inside Out was like that, it's nice to see every now and then. The whole Sony Pictures thing is what bugs me though. I don't know a single studio for live action or animated movies that puts as much obnoxious product placement in as Sony does. seriously, they even made an ad for a phone that was simultaneously an ad for Spectre, which in turn had said phone as a product placement. Shit's nuts.
>Secret Life of Pets
I feel like the fact the Louis is in this might mean that at least the script is good since he's usually pretty stringent about himself actually believing in the project. But then again, it's animation which he might not give a shit about, so it could go either way. Holding out hope, tho.
>>81259439
it's a cuck story. Louis CK is the little white dog who is fiercely loyal to his owner, but she still goes and brings home a much bigger and darker dog which she showers with attention while he watches and is ignored.
>>81259153
Yeah Long Way North looks stunning, and there's something about the trailer that moves me a bit every time. I really want to see it
>>81259586
Well, maybe if the little white ma- dog wasn't so pathetic and useless maybe she wouldn't have to go find a darker, bigger and more fit to survive pers- dog who can better meet her needs.
Finding Dory is the only one that has a shot.
The only company that can beat Disney is Disney.

>>81256406
Inside Out was the only 3D animated movie among five nominations for Best Animated Film of 2015. Get out more.
Unless something goes awry, Kubo will probably be better. This is my top pick.
This list doesn't have the french The Little Prince on it, which was apparently super well received abroad, and will be on Netflix before the end of the year (probably).
Finding Dory has a shot- I'm never too excited for sequels but Andrew Stanton is at the helm again which is promising. I know next to nothing about Moana so it could definitely be better than Zootopia- I have no idea.
The Angry Birds trailers have all surprised me. It is looking like it will be good. It doesn't look like it will be better than Zootopia, but it could surprise me again.
Also I liked Zootopia. I have this week off and will probably see it again tomorrow or something.
>>81246375
>be me

Its digimon again! Kazma has furry appeal but it contextually makes sense and isn't a major part of the film.

Really? From the trailers I saw, it looks like it's going to be the cliche old "new people/person comes to town, is evil but nobody thinks that except the main character(s), main character(s) are told off by everyone else, etc. etc. you know how this goes" story, but with a shitload of really low-brow and childish jokes.
I mean, FFS, there was a pissing joke in one of the trailers.
It's going to be forgotten within a couple years.
Maybe finding Dory, and that's a stretch
>>81242531
