The Redemption of Sony Animation 

Breaking Bad is from Sony

it's like in a video game when you do side quests and get your high tier armor and win early.

​@Ggggggfefdff "Jesse. We have to find the infinity stones to stop Thanos, Jesse."

Biggest character development that i’ve ever seen in my life.

Technically they went from Hotel Transylvania 3 to Spider-Verese.

ayy danno

I still love that movie. It’s very campy, which is kinda should be

Open Season one and two were my childhood

at least martin lawrence and ashton kutcher were funny

Not going to lie, i probably won't ever going to touch the sequels made after the third film, i'm happy where it ended. i have realized they existed only because Dumbsville mentioned and reviewed every single one of them.

Lol I’ve seen this same comment idea before, I still agree with it

agreed

Yep.

And then there was the Mitchell's vs the machines then may other movies

Fundraiser? Did it even broke even?

They are currently firing their animation creatives as crazy. Pixar has been reduced in staff significatively. Yeah Disney is doubling down to Live Action Remakes. Every other big animation studio is doing great, Illumination released the Mario movie, and even if it isn't perfect, it has a lot of heart in it, and resonates with the audience so hard it passed the billion mark. Dreamworks is still riding the success Puss in Boots has, and it seem Ruby Gillman might get nice views just by virtue or being the antithesis of what that Little Mermaid Live Action movie was. And we don't need to talk about Sony, this video already did, but i might point out how EVERY other animation company doing great right now is beating Disney's ass 'cause they decided to follow Sony's example. Disney (and by sadly extention Pixar) is still rejecting Sony's impact in the industry, probably 'cause it costed them an Oscar. But by rejecting Sony, they allowed their quality decrease, and now fucking Netflix kicked Disney's ass with a Pinnochio movie that's also a complete antithesis of Disney's Live Action take on Pinnochio... you can see a pattern here.

@@miserirken imagine if Pixar became an independent animation studio after seeing how much Disney is hurting them

@@nicolasrestrepo6177 that's something i've been wishing for almost a decade and counting, Pixar is the greatest 3D animatiuon studio yet they've been holded down by Disney's restrictions and poor decisions. Pixar needs to leave Disney, yet they can't, and Disney keeps destroying that company from the inside.

​@@miserirken Get Woke Go Broke

@@princewellidkbro shut up that’s legit just a quote to say that trying to represent black people is bad

Based on other recent movies they’ve made like Mitchells vs the Machines, Wish Dragon and Vivo, I’m not at all worried, it’s in fact the animation studio I’m most excited for rn.

If you look at their upcoming movies that are in the works right now, they have a pretty promising future after the Spider-Verse trilogy.

The video literally said they have Adult animated movies in the works, so they will likely be fine after Spider-verse

I don't think so, Mitchells vs the Machines was amazing. It should have won that oscar

i got faith that the K-pop demon hunters film they got in development will be as successful as the Spider-Verse franchise. not only cause it's centered around the K-pop genre but because the premise sounds cool as hell

Of all these three, I'm particularly impressed on the conversational aspects carried the audiences through the movie before any action and artistic stuff was displayed on screen. It really had a strong narrative. The fight scenes and artistic prowess mattered because of taking the time to develop its story.

I was so surprised at joaquim and lauren montgomery (i think she worked here?? Im not sure) making a good job here!! Since, you know,,, they butchered voltron,,,,

True, Joaquim is already creating good stuff since the 00s.

@@rinina First off, Lauren’s gonna direct the Spider-Gwen spinoff. And second, they’re working on directing roles, no problem there.

@@BuizelCream And there are TONS of examples of this! -There are the scenes where Gwen and George had their intense conversations, there’s tons of use of clashing colours. -Then you have the long-take/static-shot arguments between Miles and his parents, where they would let diegetic sound take over until the score comes in to compensate. I love the establishing shots of Jeff’s party where it would focus on people doing different stuff at a party rather than just showing them drinking and talking like in other movies, such as showing the food being made and kids playing trading card games. -There’s also the parts where Hobie’s does super sneaky moves because he’s practiced a lot through taking countless leaps of faith during his time in his world. He sneaks around and steals stuff for the dimensional watch, and when he silently tells Miles to use his palms while he is captured, he makes it looks like he’s trying to calm Miles down (which in a way, he is, but again, there’s a layer to Hobie’s actions). -I also love this common motif of alternate reincarnations of the Prowler being a guardian angel (or potentially devil depending on how Beyond’s story plays out) for Miles in some sort; in the first, it was Aaron 1610, who gave him a sense of self and in his dying words, gave him advice that would make Aunt May proud. In the second, it was Hobie (who was the OG Prowler in the comics), who gives him advice on his powers and challenges his perspectives on what he wants in life. There’s this looming sense of immersion in not just the situations like in Spider-Man 2, but in the dialogue and in the little details.

And they're a year apart from each other.

Emoji movie was was Fundme for spiderverse

It’s a crazy world that we live in...and i LOVE it.

Every power fantasy be like: started with shit, made shit, got shit and is shit to then a 180 turn and become the giga chad no one expected. Ngl, exceeding expectations is way better than destroying it (aka disney)

was it that bad? don't remember it being that bad

Wait Sony Animation made Agent Elvis? Surprised I didn't know that lmao

I loved Agent Elvis. It was pretty fun. Now i’m more hyped with their adult animated movies, especially the ones made by Genndy Tartakovsky.

Agente Elvis will Be garbage

i’m still so mad about the canceled medusa tho

@@dremcrak5647 yeah. Same studio 😎

No

When there's more than one director working for the same studio

I felt that there are 2 sides of this studio: The ones who make animated movies just to have a quick buck and the others who make animated movies to fully embrace the medium with passion.

Two Words Lord Miller

And it happened at one year!

You can tell from some of their earlier films like Surf's Up and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs that they want to have their own unique voice in the industry. It's just buried underneath the Smurfs films and The Emoji Movie.

And now Dreamworks is diving into the live action remakes... Sony is our only hope now.

Not going to lie the MvM movie was over hyped when it came out. I don't think it's that good of a movie if I'm honest.

@@dragonslayermasterornstein83 I respectfully disagree.

​@@redpanda6497 That is not Dreamworks, it's Universal, it was not their choice. Please don't spread misinformation even if it wasn't your objective and you didn't know about it.

Yeah most movies before The Bad Guys weren't that good

Couldn't agree more. I loved Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as well, but even I know that it's not the start of the "DreamWorks Renaissance". There's going to be more mediocre movies in production, but I'm sure there's also going to be some really great films too.

@@sonicfanboy3375 I'm guessing you mean *directly* before The Bad Guys, because DreamWorks has made a ton of good movies in the past. If you're talking about more or less everything between HTTYD 3 and Bad Guys (or including HTTYD 3 if you didn't like it), then yeah it's not that good lol

@@michaelstrong5383 Exactly. Mayyybe it could be argued that the positive reception of The Bad Guys and The Last Wish could influence DreamWorks' choices in their animated movies (correct me if I'm wrong but the guy who directed The Last Wish will also be in charge of Kung Fu Panda 4 so it'll probably be amazing lol) but that doesn't mean everything they'll make after Last Wish will be a masterpiece. Like you said, there will probably be a lot of mediocre stuff, but probably some incredible films as well Edit: So I was wrong about the Kung Fu Panda 4 thing, it won't be directed by the same guy who directed The Last Wish, oops

Yeah, we have Trolls 3 and an upcoming live action HTTYD. I don't know what to say about Teenage kraken. Outside of the Disney parody parts it seems just ok to me, but I'll give it some time. At least the art style is original. That's something.

Straight facts. I actually can’t believe that I am able to watch movies so beautiful.

I’ve never seen them but I’m glad people hold them so highly.

FINALLY someone talks about how Wish looks like they just put a filter on it! I don't have anything against people who like how it looks, or against the animators who probably worked their asses off to make that style, but every single comment on the trailers is "Wow, the mix of 2D and 3D looks amazing!!" and it's like... Have you even seen Spider-Verse?? Or Mitchells Vs the Machines??? Do you actually KNOW what mixing 2D and 3D means?!??! But yeah Disney has definitely been not trying at all with how their animated films look lol. I don't doubt there are a lot of extremely talented animators working on their movies, but unless they try to be more creative and truly push the envelope of what an animated film can be, they'll be stuck in their mainstream look that is really starting to lose relevance

And it's not like Disney couldn't mix 2D and 3D animation together. Look at their short films like Paperman and Feast. Unfortunately, their excuse as to why they haven't made a feature film in that style is because they don't think it's ready for that length yet. Meanwhile, Sony just released their second Spider-Verse that pushes the envelope even more than the original did, and Disney is falling way behind with the trend.

@@michaelstrong5383 I always feel their questionable contempt towards traditional animation plays into it. Like, their last 2D animated features like Winnie the Pooh and Princess and the Frog were """conveniently""" put near Harry Potter and Deathly Hollows Part 2 and Avatar respectively and look how that turned out. Whether something like the 'female oriented' titles like 'Princess and the Frog' had something to do with it, I'll never know, but it's obvious Disney manufactured an excuse to stay away from 2D animation. Where Wish feels like Disney is pretty much saying, "Oh my god, fine, we'll give you your "precious" 2D animation again.🙄The way WE want it, though! 😃" They're pretty much trying to enforce that 2D is bad and that 3D should be permanent because I guess their 2000's flop era is still fresh in their minds.

@@dremcrak5647 There IS some effort there in Disney's animated films, definitely. Their films still look great and impressive in their own right, which the artists and animators themselves should be acclaimed for. The issue lies on Disney overall not wanting to step out of their comfort zone because they insist playing it safe will keep them afloat, which again led to more so mixed results than 100% guaranteed. And this issue applies to everything they've released, no less. Animated or not. Nowadays, 3D has become the new norm and isn't that special like in the 2000's, hence why Spiderverse, Mitchells, Puss in Boots, and Ninja Turtles stand out so much because they're willing to do something new with a medium that has gotten very 'average' at this point.

@@anthonyibarra8697 My thoughts exactly. If Disney wants to make people excited for their releases, they'd better start taking more risks with their animation styles. It's just that they likely won't do it because they're too afraid to not be the "safe, familiar studio that makes films inside people's comfort zones". (tbf companies like Illumination have the exact same problem but even worse lmao, but when other studios are making films that truly stand out among the crowd for their originality and creativity in the animation department, Disney should start, and be EXPECTED, to do better)

Just because Disney’s most recent movie (Strange Worlds) is mediocre doesn’t mean they are currently low tier. Encanto is a 9/10 movie that came out not long ago

@@finalmountain Encanto is their only good modern movie...

@@finalmountain I'm not saying they're low tier, but if you see vids about disney rn, they're gonna be negative

@@redpanda6497Honestly Encanto wasn’t that great either imo. The music had a great vibe, but the story was meh.

@@adamgrant6327 Yeah, the ending was so rushed.

Let's all pretend that Hotel transylvania never got a shoe, because it had show

Overrated*

hu that new considering the other big boys of animation have there reputation to deal with but with sony it almost poetic

Sony Pictures Animation is one of the few animation studios whose future I'm very interested in seeing, which is more than I can say for Disney and, to some extent, Pixar these days.

@@michaelstrong5383 at least the fall of disney could be instersting

Well i have a good and a bad news for you The good news Is that the popeye movie right now Is not anymore fully cancelled The bad news Is that Sony Will not make, It Will be made by a small studio If Tartakovsky Will direct It idk 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

​@@arandomthingintheabyss2062let's just hope Disney don't buy the studios

L comment

Tl:dr = Sony animations is a wild card

I also watched it when it first released in theaters, and I absolutely loved it. The Spider-Verse trilogy is one of my favorites

I was mind blown when I watched it

Actually didn't know that I've just thought for years that it wasn't the case lol my bad. Should've looked further into that.

Agreed. Sony did make many great films in the past. However, most people are recognising their talent just now because they've released a *streak* of great movies. Also I'd disagree with the "obvious decline of Disney and Pixar" aspect, but the more I think about it you're honestly right, it's been kind of really evident how their movies are getting worse lmao

We Will Just pretend that the emoji movie never existed

They most definitely have I think you just refuse to let it go which is quite odd

Ngl I think it’s probably just a scar now

Ooh, cool!

be careful there have been reports of the production of *Spider-man: across the spider-verse*, and it turns out that it was atrocious and it caused many animators to leave production on the film

Remember They are making a Harold and purple crayons movie🥶😰😥🤭😵‍💫😵🤯😭!
