      I respectfully disagree with your take because it feels like you are using "effort" and "results" interchangeably. A filmmaking team might put their entire passion and determination in the movie but it might not be well received by audiences. For example, recently we got Kingdom of Planet of Apes, which for me as a major disappointment despite still being a good and enjoyable movie but I will still praise the new director Wes Ball. It felt like he had a lot of passion for the movie and I respect his creative vision. Others who were disappointed by the movie are saying "Just bring back Matt Reeves" but not me. I am still interested in how Wes Ball wants to expand the franchise. I dislike it that when a movie is critically acclaimed, people say "The filmmaking staff was very passionate about the movie" and when the movie is negatively received they will say "This movie was made with no passion or care at all".
      So overall my point is just that the finished movie is not a measurement of how much effort the filmmaking crew put into it. Now with the release of Wild Robot, I am sure it will again have the Last Wish effect where people will expect every future DreamWorks movie to be a masterpiece.

    The dreamworks fandom made me less interested in seeing the movie and I haven’t gotten around to it since.

    This is unfortunately true. Now DreamWorks definitely did dominate over Disney, but in 2022. But sadly this movie made a lot of us forget that DreamWorks is hit or miss. Not all their movies are gonna be great or masterpieces. Some are gonna be bad or just ok. But now everytime DreamWorks makes a movie that’s not PIB2 level, they get mad at DW for not making a masterpiece when that is just not who they are. PIB2 is what I’d say was a blessing and a curse

      Its why i dislike the DreamWorks fanbase. I tend to enjoy majority of DW movies but looking at how the fanbase tend to only praise movies like Shrek, KFP, HTTYD, Megamind, and now PIB2. When it comes to those movies, its all people tend to care about from Dreamworks, but when it comes to movies like Trolls, Bossbaby, Sharktales, Bee Movie, Etc, people would go bizarre over those movies like its the worse thing created in human history. Me personally, I enjoy the Trolls franchise alot more than most other ppl. Sharktales is a family classic, and i think bossbaby sequel is at least decent compared to the first. But people only overlook these movies only cuz they dont have the standard of a "true dreamworks masterpiece". Now they expect dreamworks to pump out hit after hit. and when it dont, its all a sudden a bad studio. Every movie studio suffers this ofc but it just seems like dw tends to get the worse of it.

    @papermr.magolorguy7957 Месяц назад +64

    Unfriendly reminder: After the release of the Wild Robot, DreamWorks will rely more heavily on outsourcing their animated films to different animation studios likely in other countries with less labor protections. No company is above criticism so they should get some pushback for this decision since if Disney, Illumination, or Warner Bros did something on this level, we would all be talking about it.
    Also growing up Disney doesn’t inherently make you a RUclips grifter. The marvel humor/4th wall breaking that people have issue with nowadays is a descendent of the DreamWorks Shrek type humor. If we wanna talk about the death of sincerity, Shrek is unfortunately not completely innocent. Especially since it’s not common to see other people talk about DreamWorks 2D animated movies (Prince of Egypt + Road to El Dorado.)

Not only that but it also caused biased DreamWorks fans to trash on Disney fans and then there was the time when they started hyping up Ruby Gillman and trashing Elemental which annoyed me due to me wanting me to see Elemental and everytime someone defends Elemental or bashes Ruby Gillman, a lot of counter arguments that are poorly constructed or just biased.

    I really don’t like how DreamWorks fans just get extremely angry whenever you say anything wrong with their movies. I just simply enjoy a good movie and I’m fine with others that disagree with me. But I don’t call them “disgusting” for saying “Sherk 2 is okay but not great” or “Ruby Gillman is bad” like they did with other RUclipsrs.

    "Perform a miracle, and the miracle will become the new expectation" !!
    Finally glad to find a video that addresses this issue. I wholeheartedly agree. I did find the 2023 memes of DreamWorks better than Disney amusing at first but then I became worried they were overdoing it. In 2023 we saw the release of Ruby Gillman and Trolls Band Together. I watched the former only a few months back and I thought it actually fun and decent. Is it peak DreamWorks or game-changing ? No !! But I don't think every movie needs to be that. It had a lot of enjoyable aspects like the humor, Ruby being perhaps the best female DreamWorks protagonist, her inner conflicts and arguments with her family members. I think the 2nd half kind of fumbled that up with Chelsea manipulating Ruby (Who falls for that and moreover the trailers revealed everything) and the climax was not that good. However, I get annoyed when people criticize the animation to be generic. Like only a year of getting the unique animation style, these people forget the old. It feels disrespectful to the animators. Trolls Band Together is also a decent movie although I do disagree with people thinking its the best Trolls movie. They both are 7/10 movies for me.
    Kung Fu Panda 4 is a severely underrated movie. I don't think its bad or mediocre. I even disagree with people saying its just a fun entertainment movie. I think its a great addition to the franchise. It does not repeat the formula of "Po and Five team up to fight another villain" and instead test new grounds. Po has a really good character arc and that was the key highlight for me. It did not feel like a rehash of KFP3 to me. Zhen adds a fresh new dynamic to Po. There are engaging themes even if they might not have the same emotional depth of the predecessors. The movie does not feel like a lazy cash grab. It instead feels like a great start to a new trilogy with Po as as a master. Chameleon is a criminally underrated villain. I get it its she is not the best DreamWorks villain ever but there are a lot of layers to her character than meet the eye. I think people are just too unwilling to analyze her properly and always keep comparing her to past villains. She is a polar opposite of Po and thematic foil in several ways - backstory, themes and personality. I think these storytelling aspects along with Viola Davis and her shapeshifting powers make her a very good villain in my opinion. People are treating her as if she is the worst DreamWorks villain ever. I mean come on ? DreamWorks have given us some of the best animation villains but if you look at their entire filmography they have like 20+ bad or mediocre or good villains that are weaker than her. I also agree with your point that people had way too much expectations when animated fourthqueels are rarely good and in fact the best one was Shrek Forever After by DreamWorks. Even the director of KFP4 is the one who made Shrek 4 and I noticed a lot of similarities in the creative direction. There are some behind the scenes complaints about the director but I am not getting into that. I agree that it has a lot of flaws - Its rushed, its predictable, the past villains are under-utilized and the emotional heft of the predecessors is lacking. But it would be unwarranted to say the movie has no storytelling substance at all. I will give it like an 8.5/10.
    Megamind vs Doom Syndicate was just a pure cash grab product made by the television subsidiary studios of DreamWorks. I am glad you addressed that. It was just meant to be a pilot for Megamind Rules. I get it was highly disappointing to wait for the sequel to a great movie for 14 years and then getting this instead. Its totally understandable but please stop worrying about every future movie turning out to be like this. Like in literally every discussion about Shrek 5 or Wild Robot or Bad Guys 2 people comment "I hope this does not turn out like KFP4 and Megamind 2". "This might turn to be disappointing like KFP4 and Megamind 2". The TV show branch does make some great stuff. Recently only they released Jurassic World: Chaos Theory but they do also make cheap stuff like this.
    I can't also appreciate Puss in Boots 2 or enjoy it that much now because of it outshining other underrated movies of the studio. The Wild Robot has received critical acclaim but I think I will enjoy it slightly less because of the obnoxiousness of the DreamWorks fandom. They are so fickle-minded. They have now changed sides to Pixar and praising it for Inside Out 2.

    I personally see type 1 and type 2 movies equally. Theyre actually just movies. I think it still separates them as the good or the bad which i think is kinda bad for our perspective as an audience, we like what we like and we can't just organize our expectations. For example, i enjoyed strange world, personally i wanted to see disney come back with a sci fi related concept, and had a unique style in their animation, was the story generic, in some level, but i think maybe thats the point, is that true? I dont know i haven't met the writers.
    This didnt make me hate disney, 2022 was iffy for films but i didnt want to take advantage of the films they had, if i was the opposite i wouldve just watched spiderverse 100 times indoors refusing any contact with what the world has to offer. We cant expect the studios to make GREAT things everytime, thats unhealthy for our minds, if that were the reality we would want to expect better things for ourselves in general. We dont need bad movies, we need movies, just movies. Just art ij general. As an animator i appreacite the many artists behind films today like Kung fu panda 4, Inside Out 2, even the netflix sandy cheeks movie. Fo be fair, writers can make questionable choices but they learn.
    Lets not focus on the best all the time cause that just ruins our expectations like we do for dreamworks

    Each studio will not hit the ball for a home run all the time. It's good when we get a good animated film, but never expect all films after that being on par to that one.
    PS. The Godfather needs a full English version. The subtitles at the beginning makes it hard to watch. I've not been able to get passed the first 30 minutes with out quitting. I know the film is a classic, but needs an update for people who are not into reading when watching a film.

    Since I was barely a preteen when I learned DreamWorks were a thing, I didn't exactly grew up with their films, and I don't watch their movies in theaters as I'm very selective. The only exceptions I made were the _HTTYD_ franchise, _Turbo_ and _Puss in Boots: The Last Wish_ I ain't paying to watch _Kung Fu Panda_ or _Shrek_ The only reason in existence I went to see _The Last Wish_ was to see what was up with that cool and out of place looking wolf character from the trailer. I ain't holding my breathe for _Shrek 5_ to do anything similar. Why would people watch Shrek just because of Puss in Boots? It's not his movie and it's not about anything related to him. I certainly don't remember Puss doing anything in the _Shrek_ films other than being Shrek and Donkey's buddy.

    Lots of great points made here, I think this might be the only video I have seen arguing that that shitty megamind movie isn't the same as their theatrical releases, cuz in reality it's just like every shitty TV series they made, just in movie length.
    Also yeah, it shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but working at a theater that mostly gets movies for kids, most parent that take their kids to the movies are the kind of parents that see all animated movies and being only for kids. Examples being when they get tickets for Kung Fu Panda 4, and they say it's the first one they seen. Or when they go and watch one of the shitty Viva Kids movies we get and if I do like to ask the parents for their honest review from their perspective, they will say it's good cuz their kids liked it.

If you prefer Dreamworks that's fine, but if people want to make videos telling off Disney for ruining beloved classics from their childhood then they should be able to. Same way people who love Dreamworks best want to keep that going, settling for mediocrity is how we get live service games or freemium apps.
