The fact that this film was so well animated but not well written is actually really heartbreaking because it could have been amazing. I hope the animators who worked on this will be involved in really spectacular works in the future.
@@forrest7186 It doesn't really capture the feel of playmobil. Halfway into the movie they just sorta seemed to give up on the playmobil thing. If it wasn't in the titles, I would think this is just a badly written generic movie The setting are pretty good tbh
I don't even know how a movie would catch the Playmobil feel. They're less articulated than legos but more anthropomorphized, so animating them how they move would be tough to make look good
Marla after first arriving: *has trouble moving due to a lack of knees* Marla for the rest of the movie: *has knees* They couldn’t at least commit to that?
@@smithmcsmithy2645 but in this movie their legs separate... Somehow so the could do it. Or the could just hopp around like they sometimes do in the Lego Movie
Y’know when I watched the lego movie for the 1st time, I thought it was actually lego stop-motion, only found out when watching this video that it was CGI. The amount of effort put into LM is amazing.
For real, it happened to be on the other day and somehow I'd never noticed before they even went as far as to render fingerprints on some of the sides of Lego brick walls, it's ridiculous the effort that went into that.
Let me get this straight: The protagonists are both underage when their parents tragically die... and 5 years later they are still living in the same house, which they can somehow afford, they apparently have no other relatives that raised them (uncle, aunt, grandparents?) but they were neither placed into an orphanage nor given a legal guardian by the government?
As somebody who had Playmobil as my childhood, they're customisable... In one aspect. The hair. You can take off and remove the hair as you please, but unless it was obvious from the way they look, doing so is a nightmare. Literally the only way you can do it is to pry it off their head, be it with long nails, a certain type of screwdriver, etc.
That’s why I prefer Lego characters. You can literally change their hair, clothes and even more. I wasn’t ever really bothered about Playmobile but this movie is definitely ripping off the Lego movie
I'm literally dropping salty tears for the wasted talent of the animators. Unlike almost all trash animated movies, this one had great potential, the thing that ruined it was just the solid brick writers that's all.
The Lego Movie's animation was so good that I genuinely thought it was stop motion until I watched this video. 10000% my favorite animated movie series from the past few years.
Okay so basically this is what happens in the movie: 1. Two siblings are transferred into a Playmobil world 2. The plot jumps around like a washing machine with a brick inside it and the plot holes are patched with soggy bread 3. The siblings escape
@@cwizard1019 actually in some countries it's almost not in the theatres anymore, because it had such low audience, despite having it's premier only one month ago
The plot of the kids' parents dying so early into the movie is a very heavy subject for kids. I remember watching it with my nephews, we didn't watch it to the end, the movie was way too fast-paced for us.
It actually might've been pretty interesting if these real people would then have to learn to work with the toy posability slowly through the story leading to that final fight.
Wait a minute... You’re trying to tell me that the LEGO Movie WASN’T made with Stop motion? IVE BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR YEARS AND IM JUST LEARNING THIS NOW FFS
At the end, when Emmet is showing Lord Business all the things people have made - the clips on the screens are actual stop motion. Not only that, they are all fan submissions. They were part of a contest. It's pretty awesome that they integrated actual fan work into the movie. In the special features of at least some Blu-Ray editions you can see the full videos.
I saw the ad for this at the movie theatre with my mom. I remember my mother said “What a rip-off of the Lego movie.” I mean, I owned three play mobile toys and a app. The app was super glitchy and buggy and only a closet I think remains and their heads could never quite stay on.
I work at a movie theater and get my schedule through email. Every Tuesday when I get it, my manager leaves a funny joke in the title for a movie that's coming out the following Friday. Example: "Spooderman's Schedule" "IT's the Schedule: Chapter 2" "Once Upon a Schedule". She didn't hear about the movie being delayed to December so when I got the email, the title was just: "Playmobil Movie?? Yikes."
The premise is relatively interesting, the animators are talented, and the artstyle is great. Too bad the plot is utter, utter trash and the movie is clearly a shameless cash grab, otherwise it could’ve worked
@Dusk Raccoon Yeah, Lego naturally leaves way more room fore creativity, so naturally a movie based on Lego has more potential (not to speak of all the licenses they could use). But still, Playmobil can be a creative toy, too, and at least in Europe it's quite a big thing (Well, I'm from Germany, the country where it comes from, so naturally it's most popular here - I don't know if it's that much a thing in other countries, too), so a movie based on that premise might still have been great, but they wasted its potential almost completely.

youre telling me the lego movie wasnt stopmotion in the most part? WOW Oh shit dem likes, the last time I had so many was posting a hentai list on a hentai tier list on YT
I love the fact that at the beggining it's established that playmobile characters don't have knees but with enough magic you can manifest bendy legs apparently
Interesting how after the "funny walking scene" of the girl that had just become a playmobil figure, every single playmobil character is suddenly able to bend their knees...
Obviously it was just done for a funny bit piece, but we could say that bending plastic knees just feels different so it took her a moment to figure it out? The fear of the battle caused her to just jump into running without overthinking it, and once she had done it she understood the difference. And since all the other characters, minus her brother, have always been playmobil, there was no learning curve for them. Still a poor explanation, but it’s the closest thing I can think of that somewhat makes sense if I try to think about it 😅
I actually liked Cars. The story was weak and the characters were tedious for the most part, but, as you can expect from Pixar, they put enough detail and good jokes in to make it interesting and entertaining. This just looks dull and uninspired by comparison.
@@VGamingJunkieVT I liked Cars 32 for some reason. Sure, it's not as good as other Pixar films such as The Incredibles or Toy Story, but even a weak Pixar film is still better than most other CGI animated films.
I have a theory that in the beginning this movie should have been the film of the TV serie "Super 4", and it was pretty good even if it is kinda simple. I said that for 2 reasons: 1) In the Italian Wikipedia in the Super 4 page there is written that in 2018 there will be a Super 4 film and at the end there is this film (I don't know if in the other Wikipedias there is written this); 2) In this movie there are similar things to the tv series: there is an agent who is very intelligent and creates things (the agent from the TV serie is 100 better than the Daniel Ratcliffe one), the setting of the fairyland in the movie is similar to the TV serie's one and other things... I don't know why the producers didn't do a movie about Super 4, it has so much potential than the "Playmobile Movie", they could give much lore in the serie and they could give a true good finale... [I'm sorry if I did grammatical's error in this comment, English is not my native language😅).
No child has EVER actually played with playmobil for more than five minutes before getting existential dread like the rest of us Just a little early as a pubishment for bootleg sins, of course
The animation is *technically* good. It’s very fluid, the textures are pretty ok for the characters and sets needing to look like plastic, etc. the characters are expressive and the models and characters designs are cute and nice to look at. It’s just not very creative. You can even step away from The Lego Movie and look at both Wreck-It-Ralph movies, the stilted animation of some of the characters being very representative of their respective games. Technically jerky animation isn’t “good” but in that context it’s much better than what we see in the Playmobil movie because emulating a particular look and feel, is more creative and much harder to accomplish, than simply having technically “good” animation.
Random thing I found on Wikipedia of all places while learning about this movie: In 2016, a guy named Bob Persichetti was going to be the director and screenwriter of this movie. He pitched it to Sony Pictures Animation. Although Sony wanted to buy the pitch, it fell through. Though he was eventually offered to instead direct a little movie they just started working on named *Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse* Honestly, that's a turn of events I did not expect either.
@@izzyboola8889 I feel like I would be more interested in the story if it wasn't so blatantly trying to be exactly like The Lego Movie. The Lego Movie already did the real world connection thing, why not have The Playmobil Movie take place entirely in the Playmobil universe? They could still do a team work message, The Lego Batman Movie did that without a real world connection.
the animation is constantly changing from good to the most awful thing I have ever seen since Sonic '06's in game model cutscenes. also, what happened to her not having knees? we clearly see her having knees later in the film. 16:37 the most emotion anyone has ever shown toward this.... THING that doesn't deserve to be called the same thing as what Muppet's Christmas Carol is. a musical.
- Mcfat - They would be good if they weren’t supposed to look like playmobil characters. Like fuck man I would absolutely love something animated in this style but if they remove the fact that it was supposed to be playmobil, they could make it so much more diverse and creative because playmobil has no creativity
Its a shame that the animation is REALLY good, i hate playmobil, but this artstyle is adorable It seems a lot of people wonder why I hate playmobil, I put it down there but it got flooded out so Ill put it here: Playmobil isnt terrible, it just wasn't my toy as a child, I always saw it as a babies toy and it just looked bad to me. No bashing anyone that did grow up with it, I just didnt
I think that what would make this movie at least a little bit better is if the brother actually learned something due to the whole adventure. The film basically now shows that the sister was wrong, even though she kept the whole house, making food for her brother and working hard for their living. I think that it would be better if brother while being kept in the prison was treated horribly wrong, like not getting a lot of food and being insulted. That would give him comparasion of how his sister always treated him right and and that could give him character development. There is a lot of more to fix here but I think that would make the "lesson" more convincing. You still here? How sweet of you! Here, have a cookie 🍪
No. They have very small parts and it is nothing like Lego. I actually love playmobil. It does not deserve the hate it gets. I had two playmobile dinosaur sets, a princess castle, a playmobil house, symbolisms zoo and playmobile pool. It was a lot of fun. It’s very well made, sure, call me a fan girl,but it was my childhood. The detail and quality put into the toys are actually some of the best. The movie is shit, but the toys are great. My parents have my old toys ready for when I have my first children.
I hate how they made a joke about Marla not being able to walk because her legs don't bend, then for the rest of the movie everybody's legs are able to bend, including hers. (Random example: 13:57) I hate it because of what the Lego Movie did (and succeeded with). The characters moved just like real Legos. Here, they just make a "OoOoOhH, she has to move just like a real Playmobil figure" joke and then drop it immediately afterward. Everybody moves like a human, which is fine if they wouldn't have mentioned the possibility of the characters functioning as Playmobils and then just gotten rid of it.
Me: ‘Mum can I get the LEGO movie?’ Mum: ‘No,we have LEGO Movie at home!’ LEGO Movie at home: Hey this joke is in the trailer? Wow, that’s self awareness at its finest. And I get it, 99% of the comments are this, but do you really think I need to copy someone to come up with a joke as unoriginal as this?
...with a comment you copied to get likes and feel good about yourself. Yet you deny the joviality of that comment to underline your nihilistic coolnes. Just like an edgy teen does.
The primary problem with this film's concept for me (having only seen the trailers) is a lack of iconography. LEGO has ton of well known (at least to its fanbase) and interesting original characters under it's belt, like Johnny Thunder, Lloyd Garmadon, the Classic Spacemen. In addition they've got a ton of notable licensed charactes like Gandalf, Batman, and Han Solo. With The LEGO Movie they managed to weave in tons of background characters and easter eggs so that both hardcore LEGO Fans and casual cinema viewers could catch something that related to them. But Playmobile, as far as I know, doesn't really do that. Much like LEGO's original Town theme, Playmobile doesn't really go for iconography with its characters. They're designed to be generic and basic and (dare I say it?) bland. When TLM came out I saw tons of people freaking out over "oh my god its the Series 2 Vampire" or "oh look its those weird 2002 basketball figs" or "did you catch that? It was the Toa Mata!" I don't know if this could match that level of hidden references. One would argue that goes against the "product placement" point, but most of the easter eggs in TLM were from long retired products, acting more as nostalgia than advertisements. Of course, all of this is coming from someone who's been following LEGO for 12 years and never touched Playmobile so maybe I'm just underplaying their character designs.
@@KougajiCalling they do. In the scene with the highway. Also, thanks to the KlickyPedia for the info on old sets. The robot is an actual thing from Playmobil's back catalogue of old space crap. Yes, they had retro space crap, just like Lego did. It was released in the 80s in Spain, I think?
Playmobil sucks. Lego is our overlord. I had a Playmobil set at those after-school club/activity thingys, and at that time they also had tons of Lego. I looked at the Playmobil set with my friends once, then we built Lego. The Playmobil was given away.
They missed the opportunity to have the fairy godmother and the viking leader to be the protagonists dead parents reincarnated in playmobil form or they could've just been the two playmobil figures that the parents used and the kids are reminded of them.
That would be a rip-off of Kubo. Why is every suggestion here just a rip-off of another movie? Yet everyone has the nerve to call this movie a rip-off of the LEGO movie... M'kay.
I used to do just that as a kid, actually. I didn’t get to have LEGOs, and was raised on Playmobil instead (tragic, I know). My obsession with animation lead me to do little stop motions.
The Lego Movie wasn't a musical, but the sequel was. But it managed to be self aware of this, while having no effect on the real world. It even managed to spawn a new ear worm of a song called: Catchy Song (The song that fully embraces being stuck in your head). Sure it wasn't as good as the first movie, but it was still enjoyable for what it was. I personally think it's underrated just because it did poorly in the box office when it didn't really deserve it. Well at least it didn't end on a cliffhanger to get you hyped for another movie, and if it means no more Lego movies, at least it has ended on a high note. Playmobil The Movie on the other hand won't be remembered over time. I mean, it already struggled to get into cinemas in the US despite existing for several years and people still barely acknowledge its existence. Overall: Lego is a great toy brand with great movies. And no imitation will be able to top them, especially in movies from what I've seen so far.
At the studio... "So, what will our character's backstory be?" "They are bored and accidentally discover a new world!" "They are a sick kid and get a Christmas gift!" "Their parents die." "..." "YOU GET A PROMOTION JOHN!"
It's so easy to forget all the composers, animators, modelers, and concept artists and all the things they did right when the people writing the story fail to make the whole thing entertaining. I think that it's important to acknowledge the people who really did put their best foot forward despite knowing it would probably go to waste, even if it's just saying "Hey, the finished product wasn't very good but you guys really did do a good job with the visuals/music/concepts and it *does* show." It would be so easy to just give up and do the bare minimum knowing that all your hard work is being put into a sinking ship.
Homie Mimikyu i saw a ghostbusters playmobil set, i completely forgot the company existed. Until i saw the ghostbusters play set for it. Then i forgot the movie for playmobil existed too. Until now when i found this video.
The only place that I've seen that sell Playmobil sets are in Hobby shops. And most of the time, the people that go there are interested in the model trains and RC planes.
nomemates21 it exists yes for toys but children and adults didn’t forget about the company it was also there to show yes a movie can be made out of legos.
Okay real talk, the animation of this movie looks wonderful, both in movement and in artstyle. The same company actually made Mune which looks gorgeous so maybe the company didn't have good writers on their team even though Mune is pretty alright from what I remember.
They could have made the story better. For example: Before their parents died, Maria and Charlie's parents wanted Maria to go to college because they wanted a better life for her. Then they die in the car accident. Now Maria feels guilty because a part of her wants to travel and see the world and the other part of her remembers the promise she made to her parents before they died. On top of that, she has to take care of her younger brother while thinking about what to do next. Meanwhile Charlie wants he and Maria to play with the Playmobil toys like when they were younger because it reminds him of better times. But because Maria is so stressed out with her future and taking care of Charlie she pushes him away, they drift apart. Then Maria and Charlie get sucked into the Playmobil world. And during her journey to rescue Charlie, Maria realizes that she should do what makes her happy instead of what her parents wanted her to do. By the end of the movie Maria and Charlie reconcile, come to terms with their parents death together and they travel. The End. Feel free to add any other suggestions.
I am a little late for the party, but this would be my take: After their parents death, Maria sticks to going to college for a degree she does not want, putting her parents wishes over her own dreams. Charlie meanwhile does not want to grow up, only wanting to play with his Playmobile toys, because they remind him of better times. This also puts more pressure on Maria, who wants to take care of her little brother. *both get transported to Leg-.... Playmobile world* Charlie does not get kidnapped, but instead refuses to leave, because this world means never having to grow up for him, so Maria has to chase and convince him to leave. While doing so, she slowly realizes that she does the same thing to some degree by sticking to her hated college and future job, refusing to let go. Meanwhile the (at first modern) Playmobile world gets threatened by some evil monster or dark force that gradualy reverts the world back in time (giving a solid reason to visit different times/scenarios). Of course Charlie, wanting to be a classic hero, tries to defeat that force. Not realizing at first, that this would also mean he would at least get separated from the people in the past. In the end, they defeat the big evil thing, getting help from everyone they became friends with, from every key-scenario they traversed, also being tested on how much they trust each other. They both learned to accept having to leave the past behind (litteraly and figuratively), and return to real life, where Maria pursues her dream career, and Charlie finaly moves on, accepting other people in his life/growing up. Maybe they get a little token as a rememberance to the adventure they had, symbolizing that you can remember and treasure the past, without letting it impact your future. *the end* I think that would have been a good film, if the middle part is made well enough, even though it is a bit cliche and maybe a bit on the nose with the symbolism.
The Lego movie 2 is mostly a musical but the difference is, is that Lego movie 2 is a good movie :] (Edit can u guys pls stop responding I'm begging u guys to chill out ok) Edit 2: it's so dark here.........
I actually don't get why so many people compare Lego and Playmobile. I mean, the movie is ripping off the Lego Movie, but the actual toy is not. Lego is building blocks, playmobil is detailed dollhouses for all genders. They only get compared because of their hands.
but Playmobil and Lego are corporate rivals. you do ‘build’ the playmobil sets, but nothing more. anyways playmobil is trash and I hope they go bankrupt
@@jackiegonzalez6814 yea, I saw the trailer in the theatres the other day and was left thinking the movie was mostly about rex dasher. after watching this video im honestly shocked at how little he was mentioned
It should’ve stuck with his story Here’s how it would go: The main character spends 6 minutes in the live action sequence, where she transforms into an animated character after getting into an accident after trying to escape a government facility. The animation sequence starts and she meets a look-a-like of the guard before she transformed at his mansion and is given a tour. The guard reveals himself to be Dasher. He tells her that he is trying to hide from a evil organization. The organization finds them and the first fight begins and they (the organization) leaves after getting overwhelmed with Dasher’s gadgets. The two characters spend a date at a restaurant and enjoy each other. The next day, Dasher calls the main character telling her that he is worried that the organization is watching over him, the call hangs up and she heads to his mansion to find him tied in a chair by the organization. She tries to help him but realizes the chair handles are covered in glue. Dasher tells her he will be fine. She tells him how she doesn’t know anything about helping him. Feeling angry. Dasher tells her to leave. She does so and finds that a high power laser is on Dasher’s doorstep, She sees two guards bringing it in. They close the door and she climbs to the top of the building and finds her way inside. She chases the guards away and grabs the chair holding Dasher and unties him from it. The leader of the organization finds them and alerts his guards about their whereabouts. The guards are defeated, leaving the leader as the last remaining villain, The organization leader grabs Dasher and attempts to make a deal with the main character, she refuses and Dasher is nearly thrown off the building only to discover that his butler has his personal plane available. The leader finds his way in there and sends its coordinates to an island and fights Dasher. The main character stowed away on the plane and assists Dasher in the fight, giving him his laser. However he (the villain) misses the target and accidentally punctures the bottom of the plane causing him to fall through the plane into a volcano. Dasher, the main character and his butler escape and head back to his mansion. The main character leaves the animated world and heads back to find that her grandparents were waiting for her in the government facility and take her home. In a post credits sequence, Dasher is shown to have bought a new security system to make sure no villains can enter his mansion.
Yes, they do: They make people actually pay money to see a 90-minute commercial, which in turn makes then pay even more money to buy all the products advertised. Genius, isn't it?
Actually the animation is pretty dull. It's okay as such, but it just looks like a generic, uninspired CGI world and for the most part looks nothing like Playmobil. The Lego Movie was so great because everything actually looked as if it was made out of Lego, even fire and water had Lego dots. It would have been rather easy to make everything look more like plastic, but they got even that wrong.
@@torstenscholz6243 i know, the studio probably thought that making the film actually look like playmobil was too risky or some bullcrap, but i still think the way the faces move is cute considering what type of movie this is. they should have been more creative though.
There's an even older playmobile movie where you choose what happens in the story (i dont remember if it was a full movie cuz i was pretty little) and my memories of it are amazing. Sad that this one isn't
Yes! It was so awesome! You start at your grandmother's house or something, I remember walking through the bushes. I'm totally going to have to look for that today!

@@griffgar3204 oh and im fairly certain my grandpa still has it back in brazil, stored in a external storage thing, but i dont think you can choose in that version and you just have to wait for it to choose itself
@@randomblabber4807 I am going to look for my DVD today, hopefully I still have it. And yeah, almost all reviews on the movie loved it and the cyoa aspect of it, they should make another one with revamped graphics
Why is the animation of his ripoff so good? Like seriously, most movies of this nature aren’t even illumination level, but I’d say this one is good enough to be a B roll Pixar movie. Like cars. Edit: HOLY £*(|{ ! This is the most attention one of my comments have gotten!
The Playmobil toys are pretty big here in Germany (nearly as big as lego) so they knew that the movie was going to attract some customers and therefore they put a lot of money into it. So the movie isn't a ripoff in the way like a shady companie rips off a well known movie to trick people into buying the wrong thing, but more in the way that a well known brand (with a lot of money) tried to cash in into the success of the lego movie.

The ironic part is that something like a „playmobil oc" is impossible, because playmobil figures are not customisable.

Yeah it shouldve just been their favorite figures or something
Honestly, OC's are what I can easily do with LEGO minifigures!
As somebody who had Playmobil as my childhood, they're customisable... In one aspect. The hair. You can take off and remove the hair as you please, but unless it was obvious from the way they look, doing so is a nightmare. Literally the only way you can do it is to pry it off their head, be it with long nails, a certain type of screwdriver, etc.
That’s why I prefer Lego characters. You can literally change their hair, clothes and even more. I wasn’t ever really bothered about Playmobile but this movie is definitely ripping off the Lego movie

At the end, when Emmet is showing Lord Business all the things people have made - the clips on the screens are actual stop motion. Not only that, they are all fan submissions. They were part of a contest. It's pretty awesome that they integrated actual fan work into the movie. In the special features of at least some Blu-Ray editions you can see the full videos.

@Dusk Raccoon Yeah, Lego naturally leaves way more room fore creativity, so naturally a movie based on Lego has more potential (not to speak of all the licenses they could use). But still, Playmobil can be a creative toy, too, and at least in Europe it's quite a big thing (Well, I'm from Germany, the country where it comes from, so naturally it's most popular here - I don't know if it's that much a thing in other countries, too), so a movie based on that premise might still have been great, but they wasted its potential almost completely.

Interesting how after the "funny walking scene" of the girl that had just become a playmobil figure, every single playmobil character is suddenly able to bend their knees...
But then the Lego Movie actually has n=them never bend their knees.
She’s a trendsetter
Obviously it was just done for a funny bit piece, but we could say that bending plastic knees just feels different so it took her a moment to figure it out? The fear of the battle caused her to just jump into running without overthinking it, and once she had done it she understood the difference.
And since all the other characters, minus her brother, have always been playmobil, there was no learning curve for them.
Still a poor explanation, but it’s the closest thing I can think of that somewhat makes sense if I try to think about it 😅
This is like cars. You can replace anything here with normal humans and it stays the same.
Except I imagine Cars probably had better comedy for the most part.
I actually liked Cars. The story was weak and the characters were tedious for the most part, but, as you can expect from Pixar, they put enough detail and good jokes in to make it interesting and entertaining. This just looks dull and uninspired by comparison.
Cars and Thor have the same plot
Cars and Cars 3 crap all over this movie. The only one that's arguably comparable is Cars 2, because that's all over the place.
@@VGamingJunkieVT I liked Cars 32 for some reason. Sure, it's not as good as other Pixar films such as The Incredibles or Toy Story, but even a weak Pixar film is still better than most other CGI animated films.
I have a theory that in the beginning this movie should have been the film of the TV serie "Super 4", and it was pretty good even if it is kinda simple.
I said that for 2 reasons:
1) In the Italian Wikipedia in the Super 4 page there is written that in 2018 there will be a Super 4 film and at the end there is this film (I don't know if in the other Wikipedias there is written this);
2) In this movie there are similar things to the tv series: there is an agent who is very intelligent and creates things (the agent from the TV serie is 100 better than the Daniel Ratcliffe one), the setting of the fairyland in the movie is similar to the TV serie's one and other things...
I don't know why the producers didn't do a movie about Super 4, it has so much potential than the "Playmobile Movie", they could give much lore in the serie and they could give a true good finale...

Don’t lie y’all, the animation is actually very good. It is the plot/ story that is the culprit
Yeah.
Guess so but when I saw it on Netflix I cringed lol
yea the animation.. WOW
The animation is *technically* good. It’s very fluid, the textures are pretty ok for the characters and sets needing to look like plastic, etc. the characters are expressive and the models and characters designs are cute and nice to look at.
It’s just not very creative. You can even step away from The Lego Movie and look at both Wreck-It-Ralph movies, the stilted animation of some of the characters being very representative of their respective games. Technically jerky animation isn’t “good” but in that context it’s much better than what we see in the Playmobil movie because emulating a particular look and feel, is more creative and much harder to accomplish, than simply having technically “good” animation.
Ikr
Random thing I found on Wikipedia of all places while learning about this movie:
In 2016, a guy named Bob Persichetti was going to be the director and screenwriter of this movie. He pitched it to Sony Pictures Animation. Although Sony wanted to buy the pitch, it fell through. Though he was eventually offered to instead direct a little movie they just started working on named *Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse*
Honestly, that's a turn of events I did not expect either.
A Person yeah Spiderverse is goddamn awesome (coming from a marvel nerd)
So director to THIS?
Wow so...in a way we have the Playmobile movie to thank for Into the spiderverse
Eggy Hamilton late comment but this explains why some of the outdated jokes are in the movie like the Floss Dande
It could've worked... the artstyle is likable and the animators are obviously talented.
Yeah, I think the only reason I would watch this because of the animation, its surprisingly really good
@@izzyboola8889 I feel like I would be more interested in the story if it wasn't so blatantly trying to be exactly like The Lego Movie. The Lego Movie already did the real world connection thing, why not have The Playmobil Movie take place entirely in the Playmobil universe? They could still do a team work message, The Lego Batman Movie did that without a real world connection.
yeah, it's honestly pretty to look at. sad to see talented animation wasted on this crap
Exactly what I thought, visually it looks really nice
You know, I see these comments all the time, and I agree, but, like, at some point, I think it's difficult to make something utterly irredeemable.
the animation is constantly changing from good to the most awful thing I have ever seen since Sonic '06's in game model cutscenes.
also, what happened to her not having knees? we clearly see her having knees later in the film.
16:37 the most emotion anyone has ever shown toward this.... THING that doesn't deserve to be called the same thing as what Muppet's Christmas Carol is. a musical.
it makes me sad thinking about all those hard working animators that worked super hard to make a decent movie
they got paid anyway, and the amazing work they did animating the movie really gave them exposure regardless of the movie by itself being bad.
the only good thing about the playmobil movie seems to be the animation because *holy shit those faces are adorable*

- Mcfat - They would be good if they weren’t supposed to look like playmobil characters.

I think that what would make this movie at least a little bit better is if the brother actually learned something due to the whole adventure. The film basically now shows that the sister was wrong, even though she kept the whole house, making food for her brother and working hard for their living. I think that it would be better if brother while being kept in the prison was treated horribly wrong, like not getting a lot of food and being insulted. That would give him comparasion of how his sister always treated him right and and that could give him character development. There is a lot of more to fix here but I think that would make the "lesson" more convincing.

(Random example: 13:57) I hate it because of what the Lego Movie did (and succeeded with). The characters moved just like real Legos. Here, they just make a "OoOoOhH, she has to move just like a real Playmobil figure" joke and then drop it immediately afterward. Everybody moves like a human, which is fine if they wouldn't have mentioned the possibility of the characters functioning as Playmobils and then just gotten rid of it.

@@KazuhaEien I would rather look up animal crossing Isabelle than see someone flossing PLEASE DONT LOOK UP IT ITS FILLED WITH PORN
The primary problem with this film's concept for me (having only seen the trailers) is a lack of iconography. LEGO has ton of well known (at least to its fanbase) and interesting original characters under it's belt, like Johnny Thunder, Lloyd Garmadon, the Classic Spacemen. In addition they've got a ton of notable licensed charactes like Gandalf, Batman, and Han Solo. With The LEGO Movie they managed to weave in tons of background characters and easter eggs so that both hardcore LEGO Fans and casual cinema viewers could catch something that related to them.
But Playmobile, as far as I know, doesn't really do that. Much like LEGO's original Town theme, Playmobile doesn't really go for iconography with its characters. They're designed to be generic and basic and (dare I say it?) bland. When TLM came out I saw tons of people freaking out over "oh my god its the Series 2 Vampire" or "oh look its those weird 2002 basketball figs" or "did you catch that? It was the Toa Mata!" I don't know if this could match that level of hidden references.
One would argue that goes against the "product placement" point, but most of the easter eggs in TLM were from long retired products, acting more as nostalgia than advertisements.
Of course, all of this is coming from someone who's been following LEGO for 12 years and never touched Playmobile so maybe I'm just underplaying their character designs.
They could have had the Ghostbusters... So... That's... Something...
Holy crap thats long
@@KougajiCalling they do. In the scene with the highway. Also, thanks to the KlickyPedia for the info on old sets. The robot is an actual thing from Playmobil's back catalogue of old space crap. Yes, they had retro space crap, just like Lego did. It was released in the 80s in Spain, I think?

The Lego Movie wasn't a musical, but the sequel was. But it managed to be self aware of this, while having no effect on the real world. It even managed to spawn a new ear worm of a song called: Catchy Song (The song that fully embraces being stuck in your head). Sure it wasn't as good as the first movie, but it was still enjoyable for what it was. I personally think it's underrated just because it did poorly in the box office when it didn't really deserve it. Well at least it didn't end on a cliffhanger to get you hyped for another movie, and if it means no more Lego movies, at least it has ended on a high note.
Playmobil The Movie on the other hand won't be remembered over time. I mean, it already struggled to get into cinemas in the US despite existing for several years and people still barely acknowledge its existence.
Overall: Lego is a great toy brand with great movies. And no imitation will be able to top them, especially in movies from what I've seen so far.

This movie was basically what everyone feared The Lego Movie was gonna be, thank goodness it was saved

It's so easy to forget all the composers, animators, modelers, and concept artists and all the things they did right when the people writing the story fail to make the whole thing entertaining. I think that it's important to acknowledge the people who really did put their best foot forward despite knowing it would probably go to waste, even if it's just saying "Hey, the finished product wasn't very good but you guys really did do a good job with the visuals/music/concepts and it *does* show."

nomemates21 it exists yes for toys but children and adults didn’t forget about the company it was also there to show yes a movie can be made out of legos.
Film depicts protagonist unable to bend her knees, only to then show her run with her knees bending...
It would've looked really striking and unique if every character walked and behaved with the limited motion of Playmobil figurines

Okay real talk, the animation of this movie looks wonderful, both in movement and in artstyle. The same company actually made Mune which looks gorgeous so maybe the company didn't have good writers on their team even though Mune is pretty alright from what I remember.
They could have made the story better. For example: Before their parents died, Maria and Charlie's parents wanted Maria to go to college because they wanted a better life for her. Then they die in the car accident. Now Maria feels guilty because a part of her wants to travel and see the world and the other part of her remembers the promise she made to her parents before they died. On top of that, she has to take care of her younger brother while thinking about what to do next. Meanwhile Charlie wants he and Maria to play with the Playmobil toys like when they were younger because it reminds him of better times. But because Maria is so stressed out with her future and taking care of Charlie she pushes him away, they drift apart. Then Maria and Charlie get sucked into the Playmobil world. And during her journey to rescue Charlie, Maria realizes that she should do what makes her happy instead of what her parents wanted her to do. By the end of the movie Maria and Charlie reconcile, come to terms with their parents death together and they travel. The End. Feel free to add any other suggestions.
Yes.
Yes.
And yes.
That is a good idea
@MrMan Truck-kun's big brother wanted to have some fun as well XD
honestly this sounds like the story that was meant to be in the beginning, but nah just big stress and wants for traveling smh
I am a little late for the party, but this would be my take:
After their parents death, Maria sticks to going to college for a degree she does not want, putting her parents wishes over her own dreams. Charlie meanwhile does not want to grow up, only wanting to play with his Playmobile toys, because they remind him of better times. This also puts more pressure on Maria, who wants to take care of her little brother.
*both get transported to Leg-.... Playmobile world*
Charlie does not get kidnapped, but instead refuses to leave, because this world means never having to grow up for him, so Maria has to chase and convince him to leave. While doing so, she slowly realizes that she does the same thing to some degree by sticking to her hated college and future job, refusing to let go.
Meanwhile the (at first modern) Playmobile world gets threatened by some evil monster or dark force that gradualy reverts the world back in time (giving a solid reason to visit different times/scenarios). Of course Charlie, wanting to be a classic hero, tries to defeat that force. Not realizing at first, that this would also mean he would at least get separated from the people in the past.
In the end, they defeat the big evil thing, getting help from everyone they became friends with, from every key-scenario they traversed, also being tested on how much they trust each other.
They both learned to accept having to leave the past behind (litteraly and figuratively), and return to real life, where Maria pursues her dream career, and Charlie finaly moves on, accepting other people in his life/growing up. Maybe they get a little token as a rememberance to the adventure they had, symbolizing that you can remember and treasure the past, without letting it impact your future.
*the end*
I think that would have been a good film, if the middle part is made well enough, even though it is a bit cliche and maybe a bit on the nose with the symbolism.
Her name's "Marla", actually, but nonetheless, this sounds interesting.
The Lego movie 2 is mostly a musical but the difference is, is that Lego movie 2 is a good movie :]
(Edit can u guys pls stop responding I'm begging u guys to chill out ok)
Edit 2: it's so dark here.........
no
@@gircakes nope
Izaak Monaghan that’s your opinion dude,you can’t force people to hate what you hate :/ personally I liked it
@@nowayactuallybrohwat and what was so forceing about just saying no
Izaak Monaghan just be done with it :/ don’t keep saying no
I actually don't get why so many people compare Lego and Playmobile. I mean, the movie is ripping off the Lego Movie, but the actual toy is not. Lego is building blocks, playmobil is detailed dollhouses for all genders.
They only get compared because of their hands.
How was the nasty Patty?
Yes. I too agree, mr choking fish.
but Playmobil and Lego are corporate rivals. you do ‘build’ the playmobil sets, but nothing more. anyways playmobil is trash and I hope they go bankrupt
@@batvaleska playmobile has some pretty 👌👌👌👌👌advent calanders tho. My family buys one every year even though we're too old for it lol.
If I'm correct playmobile is older than lego and if I'm incorrect dont attack me
I feel like the only reason why people hate this It’s because no one cares about the toys
Movie: *has flossing in it*
everyone: *rates movie terribly*
I'm proud.
Ladies and gentlemen. We got'em
@The Brawl Legend Shazam got good ratings though (I think it was just average, but my opinion doesn't matter I guess)
Boys, we did it, flossing is no more.
once they saw it, they just couldn’t *lego* of the idea.
Ughhh.....
*I hope you step on a lego brick*
*commit lego stomp*
No
pun none
The American trailer makes the movie seem like it revolves around rex dasher
Madison Aviles it’s like if the American trailer is shouting “YOU HAVE BEEN CHEATED AND LIED TOO!”
@@jackiegonzalez6814 yea, I saw the trailer in the theatres the other day and was left thinking the movie was mostly about rex dasher. after watching this video im honestly shocked at how little he was mentioned
Ness C. The only reason I’m watching this movie is because of Adam lambert playing the cute bad guy. Also, did you like my spongebob reference?
It really did, so many scenes of him in trailers
It should’ve stuck with his story
Here’s how it would go:
The main character spends 6 minutes in the live action sequence, where she transforms into an animated character after getting into an accident after trying to escape a government facility. The animation sequence starts and she meets a look-a-like of the guard before she transformed at his mansion and is given a tour. The guard reveals himself to be Dasher. He tells her that he is trying to hide from a evil organization. The organization finds them and the first fight begins and they (the organization) leaves after getting overwhelmed with Dasher’s gadgets. The two characters spend a date at a restaurant and enjoy each other. The next day, Dasher calls the main character telling her that he is worried that the organization is watching over him, the call hangs up and she heads to his mansion to find him tied in a chair by the organization. She tries to help him but realizes the chair handles are covered in glue. Dasher tells her he will be fine. She tells him how she doesn’t know anything about helping him. Feeling angry. Dasher tells her to leave. She does so and finds that a high power laser is on Dasher’s doorstep, She sees two guards bringing it in. They close the door and she climbs to the top of the building and finds her way inside. She chases the guards away and grabs the chair holding Dasher and unties him from it. The leader of the organization finds them and alerts his guards about their whereabouts. The guards are defeated, leaving the leader as the last remaining villain, The organization leader grabs Dasher and attempts to make a deal with the main character, she refuses and Dasher is nearly thrown off the building only to discover that his butler has his personal plane available. The leader finds his way in there and sends its coordinates to an island and fights Dasher. The main character stowed away on the plane and assists Dasher in the fight, giving him his laser. However he (the villain) misses the target and accidentally punctures the bottom of the plane causing him to fall through the plane into a volcano. Dasher, the main character and his butler escape and head back to his mansion. The main character leaves the animated world and heads back to find that her grandparents were waiting for her in the government facility and take her home. In a post credits sequence, Dasher is shown to have bought a new security system to make sure no villains can enter his mansion.
I saw an ad and it was with some princesses and I was like “is this a bad Lego movie or is this a fake Lego movie?”
I love the timing of that one ad. "And then we f-" *ad*
Exactly happened to me.
Fad.
Domiyu for me it was “then we cut to the f-“
THAT’S NOT F-*ad*
It happened to me XD
This movie and The Emoji Movie have, like no reason to exist at all.
Yes, they do: They make people actually pay money to see a 90-minute commercial, which in turn makes then pay even more money to buy all the products advertised. Genius, isn't it?
fight_and_die 157 Money
At least emoji movie had recognisable protagonists
But I’m like the only person who acknowledged playmobil
Not saying i like the movies like you said ( never watched them) but they both have good animation
What's next? The Fidget Spinner Movie?
The LEGO Movie wasn’t completely CGI there was one scene shot in completely stop motion. I liked the vid tho!
Edit: thanks for the likes y’all!
Which scene
@@tehlikebutin6755 The end credits
TehLIke butin I’m pretty sure it’s the the good morning city scene, I’m not sure about the ending credits scene tho.
@@chasehenson7961 it is the end credits...
And all the imagination in Vitruvius’s big cube thing
Yo you kept saying OC character which means Original character character 😂
That made me laugh. You meant OG character probably or simply OC 😅😅
It sucks that this poor writing and lack of creativity got mixed up with the cute animation and art style
Actually the animation is pretty dull. It's okay as such, but it just looks like a generic, uninspired CGI world and for the most part looks nothing like Playmobil. The Lego Movie was so great because everything actually looked as if it was made out of Lego, even fire and water had Lego dots. It would have been rather easy to make everything look more like plastic, but they got even that wrong.
@@torstenscholz6243 i know, the studio probably thought that making the film actually look like playmobil was too risky or some bullcrap, but i still think the way the faces move is cute considering what type of movie this is. they should have been more creative though.
Oc characters
Yeah, you know.
Original character characters.
It's kinda like rip in peace lol

Dazz: This video is sponsored by me.... yeah, how often do you hear that?
Caddicarus: *sponsors himself no less than 4 times*
There's an even older playmobile movie where you choose what happens in the story (i dont remember if it was a full movie cuz i was pretty little) and my memories of it are amazing. Sad that this one isn't
Yes! It was so awesome! You start at your grandmother's house or something, I remember walking through the bushes. I'm totally going to have to look for that today!
@@griffgar3204 yea! I know there were pirates in one ending and a dragon in another. I remember that they always ended up back in the house, either inside or in the swings outside the house
@@griffgar3204 oh and im fairly certain my grandpa still has it back in brazil, stored in a external storage thing, but i dont think you can choose in that version and you just have to wait for it to choose itself
@@randomblabber4807 I am going to look for my DVD today, hopefully I still have it. And yeah, almost all reviews on the movie loved it and the cyoa aspect of it, they should make another one with revamped graphics
@@griffgar3204 yea a remake would be pretty fun, but i dont know how critics would take it today
Playmobil is below Mega Blox, which is certainly below Duplo, which is, without bias, below Lego. Just a fact.
spittin fax
Duplo is Lego
@@Matrix5 love them or hate them
@@shakedogshake Still worse than Lego, right?
@@tbias4744 Of course
Why is the animation of his ripoff so good? Like seriously, most movies of this nature aren’t even illumination level, but I’d say this one is good enough to be a B roll Pixar movie. Like cars.
Edit: HOLY £*(|{ ! This is the most attention one of my comments have gotten!
The Playmobil toys are pretty big here in Germany (nearly as big as lego) so they knew that the movie was going to attract some customers and therefore they put a lot of money into it.
So the movie isn't a ripoff in the way like a shady companie rips off a well known movie to trick people into buying the wrong thing, but more in the way that a well known brand (with a lot of money) tried to cash in into the success of the lego movie.
Its not ripoff of LEGO movie it’s inspired it’s not good but it’s not bad I give it 6/10
@@allmond2269 not only germany
Whole europe
Btw if I can remember I think playmobil is from netherlands
I mean.... it WAS in production for 5 years...
Allmond 226 in uk play mobile is big here too but not as big as Lego tho
wait what? at 11:30 Marla just grows knees? How!?
the only guess i have is broken legs
