This is a movie that exists.
This was Disney?
What the fuck? I always thought it was some smaller company.
This is the movie that DreamWorks ripped off to make the first Madagascar.
The animation looks better, but does it have anything else going for it?
>>84224772
But Madagascar came out first..

They heard about the Disney movie and pushed their own version out beforehand.
>>84224717
> The film was a C.O.R.E. Feature Animation and Walt Disney Pictures production, and it was distributed by Buena Vista Pictures.
It was just another thing Disney basically funded but "wasn't really their movie."
>>84224792
If you spend enough time making an animated movie, a competitor can rush something similar into theaters before your movie.
The director of Wreck-It-Ralph said that his biggest fear was that happening to his movie. It's a thing that happens
>>84224882
Hell, it's a whole genre in anime.

I think he forgot that other studios would rather take the easy route and just make a movie of a video game franchise, not a movie about video games.
Luckily, he way beat Adam Sandler to the punch.

Who's Adam Sandler?
>>84224772
It has a much nicer looking Central Park Zoo.
Though in Madagascar's defense, the zoo probably looks terrible there to foreshadow the overall home is where the heart is moral of the trilogy.

I watched this movie when I was like 9 or so and I already found it cringy at that age.
>>84225525
he's a sad sad man Billy.
>>84225525
The guy who made Pixels
But frankly, I don't think Pixels coming out before Wreck-it-Ralph would've harmed the ratings, Pixels was pure shit, as one would expect from Adam Sandler.
>>84224792
>>84224882
Same thing happened with Rio, they only made the movie because they heard about Pixar's "Newt" which was supposed to be about the last 2 blue newts being expected to repopulate the species;
>>84227818
Didn't Pixar eventually just threw Newt into the bin?
>>84227818
I'm still sad that Newt never got made, same with that Day of the Dead movie.
>>84227843
Yeah, everybody would have just called it a ripoff even though they thought of it first.
>>84227891
Yeah, I just looked it up.
Really a shame, I wonder how much effort they actually put into development and production before they scrapped the entire thing.
>>84224882
No fucking kidding. Just look at all the talking animal movies we got this year - same year Zootopia incidentally came out.
>>84225525
Look up Happy Gilmore. Good comedy.
>>84224658
Post yfw you found out this was the tech demo for Zootropolis
>>84224772
And Madagascar ended up being a better movie. Funny how that works.
>>84225525
bruh...
>>84227854
That Day of the Dead movie coming out next November. It's called Coco now.
>>84229445
At least the lion in the wild knows what a lion is.
The lion in Madagascar is so inept he doesn't realize what meat even is until it's been several days since he last ate.
>>84224792
Yeah but the wild went into production first they rushed Madagascar out to compete.
>>84227784
Plot hole aside it wasent that bad
>>84229624
Don't you mean man hole aside
>>84229586
>Lion has been in zoo since he was an infant
>Had spent his entire life only ever eating prepackaged steak
Of course he wouldn't know what meat is, why would he? That's the plot.
>>84224792
Why do you think the animation for Madagascar was shit compared to this?
>>84229797
This. My parents could've been feeding me people and I wouldn't know unless someone on the outside told me. And the lion didn't have those people on the outside until breaking out.
This is also a movie that exists

They wanted to try a more stylized aesthetic in opposition to the more realistic direction the Wild went with.
If you watch closely, they even relplicate smear frames
>>84230228
Why are you posting a picture of literally me
>>84230228
Is that Silvia
The Wild is a 3/5 movie. My kid self enjoyed it at least
>>84230185
>Circle highlighting Gloria's gigantic rear
How many crew members do you think had awkward boners with hippo ass?
This movie exists as well. They haven't even tried to pull the entire thing from YouTube when some guy uploaded it.

>That snake villianess
>>84232307
Her villain song, tho...
>>84230228
I have very vague memories of this, is it worth rewatching?
>>84227912
>tfw shitty bird movie prevented release of newt
>>84225525
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>84227818
I wonder if they plant fake rumors to make competitors pursue dumb concepts.
Madagascar is a good movie and is severely underrated
