To quote or possibly paraphrase Schaffrillas productions; “HOW DID THESE PEOPLE MAKE A ENTIRE FILM FRANCHISE ABOUT SUPER VILLAINS BUT STILL MANAGE TO FAIL TO MAKE THE GRINCH EVIL!?”
More importantly: how did Ron Howard fail to make the Whos even remotely decent people? That's far more important to the story and message than the Grinch being evil.
@@adrianherrera8958 that does not mean dick, Are you saying Illumination alone Couldn't have made a good story for the movie? This is fucking Mario We're talking about.
This movie is just something that exists. Like seriously, i've watched this twice but i can't remember anything except there was a baby grinch but that's it. I dont know if it's because the movie is really forgetable or my mind just defended me against it because it was bad :/
@@finalmountain "Storytelling"? It's Mario, when have they EVER been big on Storytelling???🤣🤣🤣 Also yeah judge and bash a film that's not even out and ignore that these are still TEASER trailers not the full thing. That makes as much sense as Reddit treating the Voices like They're Cinema *cancer* . "The Voices are TERRIBLE you guys need to stop defending them😠😠😠😠😠🤬" (I'm not joking, some douchebag on Reddit actually said this shit) "Opinions? Respecting Other People for liking something you don't?? wHaT's tHaT??? EVERYTHING I say is fact and if you disagree yourrr wrrrongg, EVERYONE should have the same opinion and agree on the same thing!!!! We all should admit the voices are AWFUL because *I* said so!!!"😠😠😠😠😠😠🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I got a way to fix The Grinch (2018) 1. I’ll have the humor more like in the style of The Emperor’s New Groove 2. Have the backstory of the Grinch be more mysterious just like the 60s special. We can keep The Grinch living a life as an orphan. But maybe Illumination should put some hints on the Grinch's backstory like some sort of puzzle to make it more challenging. 3. Have the Grinch’s personality be more arrogant and passive-aggressive. 4. The character designs be more like Dr. Seuss There was actually a earlier design of the Grinch that and he looked great, but they changed his design to look more clean and pleasant. Which goes against what The Grinch supposed to be as a character. The Whos in this movie don’t even look like the Whos like the book and the Chuck Jones special, Heck, Blue Sky Studios did a better job translating the Whos into CG in Horton Hears a Who! compared to what Illumination did in The Grinch. 5. Remove Fred the Reindeer from the story, that way we'll have more scenes of the Grinch actually stealing Christmas, since it was surprisingly short. We also removed the plot line of Cindy Lou wanting to trap Santa, since it does feels weird for her to do that. We should get a better explanation of how overworked Cindy's mom is and maybe explain what happened to Cindy's dad. Like maybe have this be her first Christmas without her father.
I know a animator who works at Illumination in Paris. Her name is Annike Pienaar, she worked on Sing 2 and Minions 2 as one of the character designers.
I love Illumination because of its focus on being entertaining. Pixar is already a message-driven animation studio. We don't need every animated show or film to be about if Mary learns not to rob grandma every weekend. I enjoy many types of animation (big Pixar fan myself), and we need both deeply complicated films and 'only for fun' movies, so there's a true variety.
I saw someone comment about a Christmas recommendations. So if we're just going to talk about general Christmas movies, I'd say "Olive the Other Reindeer" is probably my number 1 in terms of animation. Maybe even 1 overall, but definitely favorite animated special. Definitely good wholesome Christmas fun, that gets me in the Christmas mood. It's a 20th Century Fox production. So, you've got people like Matt Groening, the creator of the Simpsons and Futurama, and Dan Castellaneta, voice of Homer Simpson, working on the movie, as well. I don't know if Groening helped with any of the animation, but his studio produced it and he does a voice in the movie.
I remember seeing it in theaters and it legit had subtitles. English subtitles. The movie was in its original English form but I liked it because I like watching movies with subtitles
YESS PLEASE COVER MOVIES YOU HAVE IN OLDER VIDEOS!! I think you’re old videos are fine, but Id love to see how you could improve on you’re old videos and share you’re new opinion, this video was rlly entertaining and I just realised how much you’re channel has grown and improved since the last year and a few months :DD
haha that is mostly why i made this video! as i feel a lot of my opinions when i was starting movie reviews were not the same and i was very loud. ill mostly make newer videos and ideas/topics but here and there i plan on covering past movies again!
I agree with everything that is stated in this video! It was also really funny and made me more happier from a rough day, Also can’t wait for the captain underpants and Peanuts video essay! Happy Holiday! ✨
okay but the animation for this movie is great. maybe if they strayed away from some concepts it wouldve been much better. i never thought of cindy lou hoo losing her christmas spirit and needing to get back, would be neat to see
One day of the last week my wife and I actually binged all three Grinch movies. Yes the original animated one, then the live-action Jim Carrey one, and then the 3D animated illumination one. It was a pretty interesting experience to see how different all three of them are. We've seen all three of them before just not in a row.
Based on other animated movies that I hate (wizards tale), I found this movie have organic emotions. Yes the Grinch might be emo but his depiction of saddnessis pretty raw compared to negative depections in Trolls and Wizards tale. Speaking of Wizards tale, no one asked for it to be sugar coated to piontit depicted negativity as evil force that cures by trigging their trauma. The Grinch in other hand his sadness is part of him and is okay because it helped him to move forward and understand what Christmas is about- friends not stealing tohelp cope his trauma.
I don’t hate Illumination’s The Grinch, but i don’t love it either. I think it’s a fine movie for Christmas. Definitely not at the same level as Klaus. I hope The Super Mario Bros. movie will be Illumination’s Spider-Verse. So that this animation studio that has potential could start taking risks with their projects and push the boundaries of the medium.
Merry Christmas May. I liked the Grinch movie back when it came out and I liked it. Illumination might be improving though. I really gotta say. The new Mario movie will be insane
I want you to know that I hope you’re doing well this Christmas and that I love your videos! Your video quality is amazing and I’m glad you’ve gotten a little bit of a lazy Christmas break because you deserve it! :D In my opinion, your “Character Stills” showed up just enough in this video to create a good balance between movie footage and reactions. Your takes are respectful and reasonable and your jokes compliment your vids perfectly. (Especially the one where you make fun of the rhymes in this film😂) I just wanted to say how much I overall enjoy your videos. Thank you. Have a very Merry Christmas! 😁🎄
I personally really liked this one more then the Jim carry one. I like how the grinch feels like a actual person. Like he's does have a heart but he's just pushing it away with his grouchy stuff towards Christmas.
Illumation in my opinion may not be the greatest when it comes to cartoon storytelling like Pixar, Disney Animation or DreamWorks but they are really talented when it comes to making their animation cinematic and artistic. I am confident the Mario movie is going to continue to slay with the company’s cinematography but also improve on their storytelling ability.
Sing 2 being not dumpster fire was a huge surprise. You’d expect cash grab sequels to be bad by default, but during sing 2 there wasnt really any point in my viewing where I mentally said “yeah. This sucks.” Basically every other illumination movie ever (except Despicable Me 1) has had a moment like that.
Cindy Lou Who and her mum in this movie are like those neighbours you have who initially seems nice, friendly, polite, they're making you feel welcome and you think that there's nothing wrong with them. However, they're too friendly and not only that, they never fucking shut up. There just too overly nice about everything like "hi" "hi", I know I might sound like I'm being a prick but you know what I'm talking about when someone is too overly friendly and nice like they're forcing themselves into your life and won't leave you alone.
been tryna work on that, when i started making these kind of videos i thought i had to be all loud and exciting/over the top but ive realized that being more like myself is better and chiller
to be honest i loved illumination when i was little (and i still do) but in my channel i'm just too nervous to say that because nearly everybody hates illumiantion so i stay quiet.Same goes to diary of a wimpy kid the long haul i found it a pretty great watch but now i realize its the worst thing ever and i think i liked this movie because i didn't really know wimpy kid.Whoever read this while thing and cared ty.
I have something to tell you about an idea for your next RU-vid video its about your opinions or what you think about RU-vid channels getting there own TV shows and i wonder what you think about RU-vid channels getting there own TV shows anyway i hope you like my idea for your next RU-vid video and have a good Christmas and a happy new year.
It doesn't even feel seussesque. It feels like they just dolled up whatever those fuzzy mascots from those Android commercials are in Xmas outfits and called it a day
Me after my school forced me to watch this movie for the 4th time within the past week: “MICHEAL!! DONT LEAVE ME HERE, EH, MICHEAL, MICHEAL!! *BANG BANG BANG* HELP ME-“
Remeber these lyrics? “Friends? You don’t have one, Mr grinch.” “Your teeth are yellow” “you have termites in your smile” “you nauseate me, Mr. Grinch” “your soul is an appalling dump-heap” “your hearts a dead tomato splotched with moldy, purple spots” “the three words that best describe you, and i quote, stink stank stunk.” “Your as. Cuddly as a cactus” Take one look at this grinch, and littleraly nothing even close to as bad as the lyrics would cross your mind. He looks very cuddly, his teeth are perfect, he actually cares about his pets,HE HAS A FRIEND, AND literally no one hates him the whole duration of the movie , not even at the end. He eats normal food and has a clean house? How are we supposed to see a nasty, foul, disgusting, heartless and cruel grinch in this??
I watched Illumination's Grinch a couple of times and I liked it. It doesn't hold a candle to the 1966 Grinch special or the 2000 Grinch film but it's still a good film to watch.
7:06 I was also thinking about that but I was mostly worried about that the Grinch is supposed to have yellow eyes but the animated movie has bright white eyes I know the eyes don't matter but still it would have been scarier and a little bit cooler if he had yellow and green (or red) eyes.
Illumination actually wanted Benedict Cumberbatch to use his natural accent for the role, but Benedict Cumberbatch thought a voice like that would make him look out of place compared the who's who all use American accents. And rather than Illumination explaining to him that the Grinch is supposed to be an outsider and out of place compared to the who's and that him being the only one with a British accent would actually reflect his relation to the whos and fit the story perfectly, illumination just said "SOUNDS GOOD TO US", and agreed to the nasally, nonthreatening American accent shown in the final movie.
