>movie comes out in 2010, bombs
>4 direct to DVD sequels in last three years
>three more sequels planned with the next one coming out early next year
Explain this shit, /co/. How the fuck are they making money?
>>78102094
Furries and grandparents buying this for their grandchildren.
>>78102094
drug laundering
>>78102094
Because, with computer animation, you can reuse assets. They cut corners with each one, and each one looks progressively worse, but the grunt work has already been done. They can put in minimal effort and see a steady return on their investment.
It's like The Land Before Time, except nobody liked the original movies either.
>>78102159
Not even The Land Before Time movies came out *this* fast.
>>78102122
>>78102131
These.

>See Open Season.
>No one really liked that shit but they pumped out sequels too.
>Not this fast though, what the hell?
>>78102094
>Alpha and Omega holds a score of 16% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 56 reviews, with the consensus being "With bland visuals and a dull, predictable plot, Alpha and Omega is a runt in 2010's animated litter.
>>78102131
Isn't one of the sequels like 30% flashbacks?
>>78102727
A lot of times companies jump the gun and are already knee-deep in producing tie-in material and sequels before the movie even comes out,
>>78102094
Good home video sales.
The Swan Princess and Balto also bombed and have four and two sequels, respectively.
>>78102094
THERE WERE 4 SEQUELS? I ONLY KNEW OF ONE
>>78102883
I think the I wanna say... fifth one?
>>78102121
Or Latin american and French dubs. This shit's the new Land Before Time

>Four Sequels to Swan Princess

>Pic is that one.
>>78102094
money laundering?
>tfw I was one of those kids who watched the Land Before Time sequels on VHS obsessively.
>I didn't even like to watch the original because it was too sad.
Kids just have no eye for quality and will consume anything. Might as well take advantage of that.

at least it's not CGI
>>78103203
>Yet.
There will be a whole generation of furfags raised on this.
>>78102094
Indian animation is dirt cheap
so a "bomb" can still make money
>>78103290
Exactly what happened with Land Before Time.
>>78102930
I like balto fuck you
>>78103333
And I like Cats Don't Dance, but that doesn't change the fact that they both did abysmally in the box office.
>>78103186
>last movie was almost 10 years ago
>it was so bad even hardcore LBT fans hated it
Soooo.... why exactly are they doing more now?
>>78102094

Christ
>>78103186
I'll be honest, I'm proud of them for putting a tiny bit more effort with the DVD cover.
Past LBT DVDs had awful off-model characters or just Littefoot's big ugly face shoved on the cover.
>>78103551
>Only at walmart.
I guess at least they put some effort this time.
But why?
>>78103612
Maybe they just actually took the time to look at covers like this and think "yeah, maybe we should hire a new guy"
>>78103551
>"Includes a new song performed by Reba McEntire"
... Ok?

>>78103186
>14 sequels
Jesus, even most horror movies don't get as many sequels as this.
>>78102918
Exactly; Norm of the North already has two confirmed DTV sequels in production.
>>78104247
Your jokes are prehistoric
>>78102094
direct to video sequels should be banned.
>>78103003
>They are voiced and written by Yuri Lowenthal aka Sasuke from Naruto
>>78103186
Oh shit I thought the franchise was dead.
No matter how shitty each sequel gets I will watch every single one.
>>78104568
This whole situation is a horror movie.
Wait if we're all virgins who dies last?
