Wait... That's not a mockumentary? I'd never heard of Nibbler before.
[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread
- Thread starter Adam
- Start date
Nibbler is a popular snake clone
Apparently, this is real.
I thought I was watching a well produced video game commercial at first-BUT NO-movie. That Disney show was more popular than I thought.

It's a Mattel property and they've been doing shows for it since 2000. It has NEVER taken off, in any incarnation.
Fucking WILD, hell I barely remember the cartoon they did when I was a kid.
Hmm. I don't hate what I see here, but nor do I see much to pique my interest. It's like, someone said to the studio, "Hey, what if instead of Spider-Man being really mouthy and quippy, we made a movie where Spider-Man has a mouthy and quippy sidekick?"
You know why? Because it's for the kids. And I'm betting this movie will do well without us.
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't interest me either. But I see it for what it is.
Part of me is thinking it'll end with him saying "I am Max Steel."

There's a difference between C-3PO and a robot Ewok or Jar-Jar Binks.Yeah, movies with "funny" robot side-kicks to appeal to children just don't work.
We're all agreed that Tim Burton's "Miss Peregrine" movie looks like fancy British X-men from the trailers right? The book looks like it to a lot, but with more of a magic angle.
I mean come ON "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" is a step away from "Professor Xavier's school for gifted youngsters."

There are a lot of similarities in the books too. As for mysticism... no, not really. They are born that way and their children usually are too. That makes them mutants by any word.
I'm sure How It Should Have Ended will jump on that once the movie is out.
Thought so, pretty much doing the famous trope of replacing mutant with any random word. My favorite so far and probably always will be "Bang-Baby".
To be fair, Bang-Babys aren't mutants. Their powers CAME from the chemical exposure, so metahuman is probably the better term.
TMNT have the same origin for their main characters, yet still called mutants. Basically I'm saying it runs under the "Super-powers coming from a singular source" theme.
Filming doesn't even start until January, so no.
Black Panther is like 2-3 years off.
Black Panther release date: July 6, 2018
We've got Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Spider-man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, and Avengers: Infinity War before that, in that order. It's gonna be a while.

I've read the book. It seems like it would be, but the home itself doesn't play much of a role despite the title. I don't think that's a spoiler. It's different enough. The idea of unique individuals gathered at one school is an old genre, that's actually pretty popular in British literature. That said, the author and the protagonist are American.
The thing that the movie might lose is what made the book unique. The book contains a lot of old, weird photos. The author collected antique photos and had some non-fiction archive books before this one. He wrote Peregrine as a story around a number of real, old gag photos and creepy photos he collected.
Ah, no wonder the trailers I found on YouTube turned out to be fakes.
Some of which are fan-trailers that people claim are REAL trailers! Anyone whose a fan of Dragonball and had to deal with that "Hoshi" crap knows what I'm talking about.

Happy Yoshi!
Moana trailer
I'm hoping this is another case of bad trailer for good movie (which seems to be getting more common; gotta aim for that lowest common denominator lest you get a Kubo-sized audience), because this feels a little obnoxious, like a lot of animated movie trailers.
Also, villain appears to be Hexxus from Fern Gully. If only they could get Tim Curry.

Eh, looks okay to me.
I have to disagree; I think it's a great trailer. They tell you exactly what the plot is without giving too much away. The establish Maui's ego and Moana's relationship with him right off the bat, but don't give too much away. And except for a brief "butt cheek" comment, this trailer is surprising void of the usual low-brow humor that seems to be advertised with a lot of kids films (burps, farts, anything from Dreamworks, etc.). The ocean scenes alone had me sold on seeing this on the big screen. (Having the writer of Hamilton doesn't hurt, either.) It seems like they're putting a lot of Polyneisan lore into this, so it'll be nice to see something without a European or American setting, even if the story hits some of the normal beats.
Sorry, I should've worded that better. I didn't mean it's bad at being a trailer, I meant seeing it doesn't make me feel as good about the movie as the pre-trailer promotional material. It's not Storks or Trolls or The Wild Life, but I'm not seeing any of those. Those are butt cheek times 100.
But there's a bunch of great animated movies with trailers that are not reflective of the movie itself, so I can't trust anything anymore. I'll see it and cross my fingers it isn't going to be Frozen again.
Wildly successful?

Predictable?
It's been awhile since I saw Kubo but I don't recall the song actually playing with vocals during the film itself. Only during the closing credits.
