Why didn't anyone want to see the movie about two girls in 1990s Philippines?
>>155596405I'm not paying money to watch the cleaning lady pretend she age regressed.
Why do they keep making these coming of age, autobiographical movies about growing up/growing older/forgetting your friends and expecting them to appeal to people
>'90s philippines>characters sing songs from 2000s americaWhy do mixtape nostalgia stories do this?
>>155596405I refuse to watch it since it has Dave Franco in it.
>>155596671>>155596405Umm according to the summary only the beginning is set in the 90s and the rest is in the early 2000s?
>>155596679>the forgotten island of Nakali ("Nakalimutan") and the dreaded Manananggal.>Raissa Molina>Manang, a Manananggal>Batiba, a Batibat>Raww, a were-aspin>Bungi, a Tiyanak>Duwende>Mermahn, a Kataw>Kapre villageI can't get over these names. What gobbledegook.It even ends with a badguy learning the valuable lesson of "What if we were all friends and didn't partake in mindrape" and being forgiven. Then one of the girls lives her dream of drawing mangas.So I guess you are right, it's not set in '90s philippines, it's set in 2000s philippines, it just looks like the 90s (and still does) because it's the philippines.
>>155596630>not for kids>not for parentsIt's like a target audience dead-zone alienating families. Perfect for studios that doesn't like making profits
>>155596405https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3MWmObR4OwIf this song isn't in the soundtrack then it's not '90s Philippines.
>>155596405The public probably has diet anime fatigue, boy I wonder why nobody wants to watch an inferior version of something that already exists
>>155596798Yup it feels like they just said "Philipines" To pander to FilAms. I'm not going to the theater to watch this, I would rather watch anime. Most Pinoys here don't even know it exists
>>155596405If it was done by Filipinos in the Philippines then maybe but I don't care what cultureslobs in the US have to say about another cunt tree
>>155596933and that's why its bombing out. YAY!
>>155596630because writers think that inserting whatever mid life crisis they're currently going through makes a movie deep.
>>155596744Let Americanize it>Transylvania>Hera Miller>Vampire>Fat Hamadryad>Were-Mutt>Goblin>Atlantean>Bigfoot Village
>>155596933Kek the woke peenoise here are trying to promote the film but most do not give a fuckimma watch my animu and marvel cartoons over soberanoslop
>>155597057Let's Bri'ishise it.>Avalon>Juno Mullins>Vampire>Ghillie Dhu>Were-Cur>Spriggan>Goblin>Selkie/Kelpie>Woodwose Shire
>>155597135The first thread we had was smothered in anons defending it not even because they'd seen it and liked itWhere do these people come from?
>>155596820>BtAS>Inspired by anime
Why do Asian-American women have such enormous chips on their shoulders about their families
>>155597260Not a single person involved at the leadership level of making this film is a woman and almost everyone is white >the white males are genocoding me, a white whale
>>155597410I read down the list.One jewish woman. A bunch of whites. Half-and-halfs. I assume the half black one voices the black one and the half white one voices the lighter skinned one.The one director that appears to be white has a disappointing history of works and "special thanks".I'd have to ask who commissioned it.
>>155597481>he thinks the voice cast is the leadership making the movieYou are too dumb for this conversation. Maybe you really should be genocided.
>>155596405Anyone else notice that a lot of the marketing seems to be hiding her sideshave?
>>155597481>is told the people who made the movie are almost all white men >immediately chuds out over the cast And I thought it was just the niggers who were dragging down the literacy rates in this country
>>155596630That's what the funny weredog is for, to give Forgotten Island a little more mass appeal and rope people into seeing a movie with admittedly meh designs for the two female leads.
>OUR HEROES
>>155597057That wowould actually be live asf I get why the filips wanted to make this now
>>155597240Batman TAS is anime-inspired, it just has a lot more influences going for it that give it it’s unique artstyle. Same can’t be said about any modern anime-inspired shows.
>>155596820It’s not even inspired by more niche anime, its influences are the most mainstream millennial-raising normie shit ever. Yet people will praise it for being "unique"
>>155598005>anime segments
>>155597959Legitimately how is it inspired by anime?
>>155597481Do you fucking think that the voice actors actually make the movie you fucking retarded mongrel?
>>155597501>>155597658>>155598145Do you have the list of the people who paid for and made the movie?You know, the decision makers?I merely pointed out how people brought on for it have a very thematic, you could say, racist choice, and if this didn't extend to those working on it, I'd wonder how that could like up. The two directors were also the writers, who I assume have most of the creative control, but if you don't think so then you can tell me who did write it. I mean, it's not the oogie boogie whyte boogieman now is it?
>>155597959Timm's art style was inspired by Alex Toth, the Fleischer Superman cartoons, Disney's Sleeping Beauty. No one who worked on the show ever mentioned any explicit Japanese animation influences. If there's any resemblance it's because they were also inspired by the same works.
>>155598359Besides what you said, BtAS's set design and visual direction were also heavily influenced by Art Deco.I have absolutely no idea how BtAS could even be considered "anime inspired" other than it having outsourced animation, but if that's the criteria we're going off of then Muppet Babies is also anime-inspired.
>>155596405I'm not seeing this garbage. I bet it would forgot over a month.
>>155598310Everyone point and laugh at this stupid nigger who genuinely thought that the people making the movie = voice actors
>>155596859I watched it with my friends and will do so again with a different group of friendsYou don't speak for me. I liked it despite it being clearly American-Filipino.Yes I found "Tayo na" to be weird but the rest of the film made up for that
>>155596744Jesus fucking spoilers!>ManananggalIs the villain also female, because it kind of sounded like it?>>155597217They called the above a fairy in the english version of Dayo
>>155596405It's another one of these movies, but with added quirk chungus humor and furry elements.
>>155596630Because industry animators suffocated their individuality as they went through college, making connections instead of friends they genuinely like, talking about safe popular things like Miyazaki instead of that one weird anime they really liked (Elfen Lied would be a good example, 4chan would have exposed it to a lot of animators who visited here but none of them ever speak of it)Thus making them mentally ill as the individuality of their soul suffers perpetually either subconsciously or consciously, sometimes leading to things like transgenderism to seek escape.Indeed “forgotten island” would be inspired by their endangered memories by giving up on their authentic opinions for long enough to make a movie, so their brains can’t reconcile past experiences. Probably they love their abusive grandmas so much because they helped them give up on themselves early in life, but they didn’t feel that way before college.
>>155596405I saw it. Pretty cute if a bit too frenetic
>>155598310Joel Crawford - Director / WriterJanuel Mercado - Director / WriterMark Swift - ProducerJames Ryan - EditorRyan Carlson - Production DesignerNathan Matthew David - ComposerZachary Gold - Associate ProducerChristopher Grun - Art DirectorSean Sexton - Head of Character AnimationSteven MacLeod - Head of StoryScott Cullen - Head of Cinematography & LayoutI know you’re trying to save face because you didn’t realize how idiotic your post was. But literally every name I just listed that has a leadership role in making this movie that you think is trying to genocide you is a man, and all but one is a white man. The white male genocide is coming from inside the house
>>155598563None of that happens in the movie
>>155596630Cal Arts and all other American animation studios train and encourage students to make this slop, while ignoring students who just want to make entertaining stories with appealing characters. Note, it's generally failure animators who couldn't make it in the industry working as teachers at these schools. They don't know how to succeed so they don't know how to teach success to their students.
>>155598575>Elfen LiedThis is an edgelord anime all these animators love, as well as Madoka. You are correct that for some reason Miyazaki is the only form of anime that art school teachers find acceptable, despite studios like Mappa and Science Saru being much more innovative and interesting.
>>155598588Isn't it against the Hollywood rules for white male creators to appropriate other cultures? How did this get made if it wasn't a trauma dumping butthurt DEI Filipino American woman in charge? Who thought this was a good idea?
>>155596405They advertised it like shit. None of the trailers made this movie seem appealing for anything beyond the animation itself.
>>155596405What is the movie even about ? Two child hood friends going on a vacation ?
>>155598601The angry bitch grandma is right there in the beginning of the film you disingenuous shill.
>>155596630>Why do they keep making these coming of age, autobiographical movies about growing up/growing older/forgetting your friends and expecting them to appeal to peopleIt's a near-universal experience in places with high social and geographical mobility
>>155598588Wow this must be why the movie was somehow really good
>>155598588>not a single jew or womanHow did they get away with this
>>155596671The 90's didn't end in the Philippines until around 2012>t. Flip
>>155596405Because the dog boy wasn't the protagonist- not to say that male leads sell more, but the fact of turning into an animal would have attracted furries.
>>155598665The trailers all looked so obnoxious.
>>155598660Dreamworks thought it was a good idea and they were right
>>155597260i dunno, why do Jewish women have a chip on their shoulders about their familes?In fact why do Nigger women have beef with their families too?
>>155596405
Either focus on the girls or focus on the dog, you can't have both.
>>155596405I'm tired of Asian women whining about their strict moms
>>155598709They said the quiet part out loud and now furries are avoiding the rainbow capitalism safe horny pornbait dog
>>155598829Thats good because that doesn’t happen in this movie and nobody who made this movie is an Asian woman either
>>155598942Aren't the Philippines some brown seamonkey country?
Warning: this thread is full of briandead incels
>>155596405Is there a higher res of that image anywhere haha for no reason but I want to look at their feet
sex with them and the wolf
my favorite scene is when they do sweaty lesbian scissoring on the beach
>>155596405Sorry, as a straight white man I can't watch this movie as it would be cultural appropriation. I'm sure all the Filipino lesbians in the world will bring it success.
I don't want to intrude myself into space reserved for Filipinos so I will not watch this film
>>155599283>>155599247It wasn’t funny the first time you posted it
>>155598671>high social and geographical mobilityWhere? USA and Latan America have more geographical mobility than most and those families often just stay put.
>>155599308Funny?
>>155598669Angry bitch grandma is only an angry bitch to a nosy neighbor. She never once gets mad at the kids or any of the other characters
Every screening at the theater near me is almost sold out this weekend.
>>155599308You think being racially considerate is funny?
>>155599412That means nothing because if you're rich enough you can buy out screenings for artificial popularity
>>155599566filipinos worship wytepipo doe
>>155599595Honestly this sounds like omegacope.
>>155596405This movie would have been much more successful if the protagonists were a guy and a girl and there were some elements of romance between the two.As it is it doesn't really appeal to anybody.
>>155599637Almost nobody can relate to meeting their future spouse as elementary school classmates Almost everyone can relate to having a same gender best friend in elementary school …Except you I guess
>>155599637this movie appeals to a loud and annoying minority type of people, and no im not talking about filipinos
>>155596405This picture almost tricked me into caring. The fat one has her body hidden and the cute one didn’t have her shit hair cut yet.
>>155599861She's not even that fat
>>155599996She’s got Goron physiognomy.Fucking up the skinny one’s design is the real crime, though.What a waste of The Last Wish director’s talents.
>>155599342At this point I'm starting to doubt you're even American unless you're some hick from the boonies who never moved out of his once-cheery hometown that's been slowly degenerating into a fent haven since the Great Recession
I want to kiss Raissa
>>155600173Before she got JUSTed
>>155600084You're exaggerating. This is Dreamworks. You want to see them make a chubby woman, they give you Fionna and Fairy Godmother.
>>155600120This is a Eurofag who learned everything he/him knows about America from r/politics shitposters.
>>155600173Join the Navy, they'll issue you one
>>155599342>most families in USA stay put Lmfao
>>155596405Is there a name for this kind of media? like lesbianslop or smth. Lesbians are the epitome of safe horny and safe representation and you can have it as overt or subtle as you want and millennial losers the world over, male or female, will eat it up. You see it more overrepresented in webcomics but now it's showing up in animation more often.Yes I know the characters in this movie aren't literally lesbians but it's the same shit and you know what I mean.And to answer your question OP, no one wanted to see it because they know exactly what kind of movie this is by just looking at the poster. i.e. a milquetoast story that hinges on nostalgia and "representation" while being as dull as possible as not to offend
>>155600642there's a name for your retarded babble: Pseudo-intelligence
>>155600642Its nostalge but bland and boring. But its also bait but it sucksNostalgiaBeige.
>>155600772Ill-fitting comeback
>make a movie about beautiful ideal8zed Korean heterosexual waifus>wildly successful and popular >make a movie about hideously ugly Filipino quirk chungus coded-lesbians>fails spectacularlyI contend that if Dreamworks made the leads beautiful and attractive, this film MAYBE had a chance. Making the leads so ugly and unappealing was an unforced error
>>155600642Quirk chungus woke millenial slop.Everything about this film is a Cal Arts animation professor's wet dream.
>>155600882Half shaved cut beanpole and quirk chungus combo. Horrendous
>>155599796>meeting their future spouseMoving the goal post>...as elementary school classmatesMoving the goal post again.>nobody can relateThe majority of marriages through out history happened between couples who've known each other since childhood, you LITERALLY don't know what you're talking about and is clearly projecting.Also who the fuck said anything about "relating"? Most people just want to see stuff they think is cute / cool / pretty on their entertainment regardless of how much it applies to their personal life, this is specially true for children, just the, you know? PRIMARY target demographic of animated movies?And contrary to leftist doctrine, children DO actually like romance in their cartoons, specially GIRLS.The only people who want their media to be as relatable and strictly grounded on their OWN reality are uber narcissists, race grifters and faɕɕots (so basically all leftists in a nutshell)Two ugly brown girls and a brown werewolf boy don't make up for compelling protagonist designs anywhere close to the likes of the toy story cast and other pixar movies. We've already gone through this, animated movies started going downhill when the focus shifted from toys; monsters; abstract concepts to boring and generic human designs.You can get away with a bland aesthetic in anime with a good enough story, but not kids animation, kids look at that and immediately walk away and watch stuff that is actually pleasing to the eye or at least doesn't make the average movie goer puke.By the way, buddy, do you not happen to know that romance is an entire genre of storytelling or you haven't moved out from still sleeping under a rock? Just a thought.
>>155600882Things would've been VERY different had they modeled the leads after their voice actors. I know it's been done before! I get that this is supposed to be a Hangover-type situation (hence the half-shave) but Jo & Raissa fundamentally look too silly to make for easy eye candy like Huntr/x. Even their non-disheveled looks at the start of the movie do nothing for me.
>>155600772This The stupid nigger actually spent half an hour of his day typing and retyping this essay to try to sound intelligent
>>155601068They should have abandoned the sideshave and made the "fat" one actually chubby.
>>155600962Holy fuck nobody is reading this you butthurt faggot
>>155601107Lmao
>>155601068Bitch on the left good looking even though her name stupid
Raissexo
>>155597240BTAS is so anime that the Jap studio that helped make it made their own fanfic anime about their favorite episode.
>>155601107I read it.
>>155596630Because these people make movies for themselves & their own friends who never grew up & hate their families.
>>155601149You have that causality backwards but okay.
I refuse to watch any TV Movies Video Games until I have sexYou want me to be a customer? Have sex with me. Simple as

>>155601353Uoh cunny
>>155596630Coming of age stories are a pretty tried and true formula, it doesn't appeal to little kids who want to see a goofy cartoon
>>155601353Maybe. Just saying that if you're going to have a character with a soft round face and kinda thick arms and form-hidjng clothing, you might as well give fatfags something or else there's not much there for anyone.
>>155600772>>155601097ESLs saw a intermediate level words and went into a fit of rage LMAO
This movie would be more compelling if either lead were changed to make. Kids can handle a movie that has a normal loving relationship in it.So like, what happens in thisI assume they just stay friends in the end. But they've always been friendsAnd quirk chungus was afraid thin friend moving away would mean friendship endsThis is so boring.Am I right Did I nail this movie or what
>>155601068>Jo & Raissa fundamentally look too silly Silly-sexy isn't impossible. Genevieve Tsai unfortunately let us down this time :(
>>155600642Woke-lite millennial yuribait, think Life is Strange.And yes I will eat it up if the girls are cute enough but the one with potential in this movie got her haircut JUSTed.
>>155601551Make your own movie then retard
>>155600882Correct. Learn from anime, cute girls means sales.
>>155600882>wildly successful and popularSony dumped KPDH onto Netflix because they didn't think it'd be popular. It was fluke that it turned into a sensation which is why it'll take 5 years for a sequel.
>>155601781It wasn’t a fluke they made a fun cute girl movie and it got popular. Sony being retarded doesn’t change that.
>>155598051You're not gonna believe which studio animated it initially
Should have chained them to the desk and made them do Shrek 5 instead. TLW was ridiculously good.
>>155598646Elfen Lied is also just kinda goofy. I wouldn't mention it as an artistic inspiration despite having seen the whole thing at least thrice and reading through the manga.
>>155601922They literally are making Shrek 5 you fucking moron.

>>155596405Idk, look gay and lame. Make them fight robot monsters or something if you want my money. Eh Im sure there is an audience for those movies, they will prob break even
>>155596405Cute feet
>>155602336They’re also making a donkey movie, Shrek 6, puss in boots 3, a spinoff for shrek’s kids, and a gingy spinoff. And I am dead serious Don’t complain /co/, this is what you wanted
>>155601233Wrong>>155601267Correct. i'm the one who wrote it.>>155601277Eat shit and die, illiterate subhuman troon.
>>155601710You're right, they should've made the underage teenage girls sexy and hot, I see no flaw in your logic whatsoever!
I couldn't even make it through turning red and that's meant to be the best of these asians life story animations
Raissa is my waifu
>>155598588>that you think is trying to genocide you>The white male genocide is coming from inside the houseIs this why anons are getting so angry?I just checked the reply chain and no-one ever said this.An anon simply said Asian-American women have family issues and then at least one other anon blew up and started samefagging to pretend he has friends.Seriously, why is an anon going autistic over this movie? It isn't even out yet until tomorrow.
>>155603046take your meds
>>155600642It certainly is Y2K slop.
>>155598774So true, also Why do white “men” have enormous chips on their shoulders about kiddie cartoons?
>>155601961Not what I heard. Proof?
>quirk chungus unfuckable ethnic lesbians with no physique between themYou dont need to know the plot. You dont need anything else. All you need is this to understand why it's not going to make a dime.
