*sigh* Here we go again! Another unnecessary argument between me and another member, and everyone is making me look like the bad guy without showing any sympathy towards me whatsoever! And you guys wonder why I talk about leaving here so often. Though after a little consideration, I think I get what Trey has been trying to say to me… With Transformers, I think he was bringing up the fact that it was also coming out the same month as Spider-Man and Elemental. I know Trey is a huge Transformers fan, and the Transformers movies are always big summer blockbusters. If we were talking about all movies in general here, then it would make total sense, and Transformers would likely make more money than Spider-Man overall. However, in terms of the sole genre of animation, that honor would clearly go to Spider-Man. With Lightyear, I think he was adding on to my assumption of Elemental likely becoming a flop. I think what he’s trying to say is because of the controversies surrounding Pixar’s last film, it’s likely that audiences don’t trust Pixar anymore. Then again, I could counter-argue to that point: Disney’s Strange World did the same thing, and yet everyone seems to be super hyped about Wish. So if I may ask, why is it okay for Disney to do it and not Pixar? That just doesn’t sound right to me. Is that what you’re trying to tell me, Trey? I do intend to see Elemental once it comes out Belchic, just one thing that Disney would need to do is not go and push some sort of controversial agenda and I can promise you it will succeed. It's just they did not have a good year in 2022 and those listed reasons were why. Hell, they deserved to lose money for that live-action Pinocchio alone. Even if it does flop (so many movies packed into one summer is bound to cause trouble), it will find itself a voice provided they don't just use it as a means for social awareness. It seems like they are off to a good start with the third Guardians of the Galaxy and their new live action The Little Mermaid which will probably make money one way or another given the popularity of the original movie.

Looks like we have official information about Nimona. It is going to be a Netflix exclusive, and it will be premiering on the platform on June 30.

So apparently, we are getting another animated film on June 30 called “Teenage Kracken”. It’s made by Dreamworks. I saw a lot of screenshots of it all over the internet, but I finally saw a trailer for it when I went and saw The Little Mermaid. I don’t know why so many people are so hyped about this movie. It looks awful!

I saw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse last night. It was a worthy continuation of the original and I will admit I was not expecting they would make it a two-parter.
Now we wait until next year to see Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

I just heard from my newsfeed that due to the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it's pretty much assured that a Legend of Zelda movie is inevitable.

Looks like AniMat finally got another animated review for another animated review for this year. Here's his scores on "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse":
Story: 9/10 Animation: 10/10 Characters: 9/10
Overall: 9/10 = 93%
No big surprise: SEAL OF APPROVAL! And it looks like he found it better than the original too!
Now, here's his current rankings:
1. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - 93% 2. The Super Mario Bros. Movie - 67% 3. The Magician's Elephant - 53%
Also, no big surprise, it's the best of the year so far, and I have a feeling it's going to remain at the #1 spot too (because everyone thinks it's awesome).

And I will agree, that movie was indeed great! So apparently, we are getting another animated film on June 30 called “Teenage Kracken”. It’s made by Dreamworks. I saw a lot of screenshots of it all over the internet, but I finally saw a trailer for it when I went and saw The Little Mermaid. I don’t know why so many people are so hyped about this movie. It looks awful! I read that movie's title is Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. I see the director was Kirk DeMicco, who was responsible for movies like Space Chimps, The Croods and Vivo. At best it might be good. At worst, probably be awful.

At best it might be good. At worst, probably be awful. I’m not sure how promising to make of that. Space Chimps is a universally-hated film, Vivo did reasonably well, and the Croods in most people’s eyes was just meh. My best guess as to why people are so hyped about it is because it’s Dreamworks, and both their previous films really won audiences over, so they’re probably setting their expectations high for this one.

We just got the newest Disney/Pixar film, Elemental. The critics are saying?
Well, it looks fine. It current RT scores are:
Critics: 76% Audiences: 88%
The critical consensus is:
Elemental may not satisfy as fully as the greatest Pixar pictures, but it remains a solid story told with dazzling visual flair.
It looks like it will be a pleasant movie to see, I think I will enjoy it.

I knew it. It’s going to lose to Spider-Verse.

Hey guys! I just saw Elemental. Honestly, it was a nice movie. Not a lot of surprises but it is cute and gives some good laughs. Yes, I would recommend that you go and see it. Plus there were plenty of butts in the seats.
