Disney's Failed Next Big Thing: Tomorrowland
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In the early 2010's Disney tried to recapture the magic of Pirates of the Caribbean by pumping out big budget blockbusters that went on to bomb at the box office. 2015's Tomorrowland is great example of this. In this video essay I examine what exactly went wrong, and offer some of my thoughts on the film.

I miss these times when Disney tried to create a new franchise instead of buying and milking already existing ones (Star Wars, Marvel and Disney's classic animation), even if these attempts weren't successful much
Disney has tried a plethora of new ideas. But when they do that, everyone says "Disney is running out of ideas"
@@981zASDFthe issue is that their new ideas haven’t been so new
I'm pretty sure movies like these are why they bought those franchises
Tron Legact flopped, John Carter, Lone Ranger, Tomorrowland, Prince of Persia, etc. You really can't blame 'em for trying.
they still do it but only as disney plus shows and i dont think anyone buys a subscription for that
I remember when Tomorrowland released when I was a kid, i remember seeing the trailer and being confused as to what the film was even about, there was no pitch line or interesting concept that children could grasp on to
As a 20s something, I can't say I saw anything either
EXACTLY what i came here to comment. the ads on disney channel confused me and i wondered who cared about this new movie
Bro i saw the movie, and i still didnt understood nothing, so its like matrix but instead of a bad reality is a good reality?
@@RainboomBlast when I saw the trailers, I actually tough it was an existing franchise, maybe a prequel to someting... but then I watched and it was a completely new thing. I love the movie, I absolutly love the world and the scenarios and the presentation... but I have to addmit I don't know what the goal was.
thats the exact opposite reaction i had as a young teen this was the most interesting thing that had come out for a while, i was also a child that grew up with my favorite movies being twister, the black cauldron, and the my little pony movie with the smooze.
The fact that this movie is one of the reason for why the sequel for Tron: Legacy was cancelled is frustrating…
Well it was gonna have a 3rd installment ive heard were getting a 3rd movie to make tron a trilogy but im not lookin foward to it personally
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU This is honestly why I fell out of love with Brad Bird
…Tron: Legacy is having a sequel. Jared Leto is in it.
@@fewcusi Ares isn’t going to be exactly a sequel to Legacy, that movie was supposed to have a proper follow up continuing the story of the characters in that movie and being directed by the same guy. It was going to be called “Tron:Ascension” and it even got a 10 minutes short released called “Tron: The next Day” that was supposed to connect the events of Legacy with this sequel.
You can look it up if you want more details. But basically Tomorrowland bombed so hard that Disney had to cut costs and cancel a bunch of projects, and unfortunately Tron: Ascension was one of them.
@@fewcusiremember when jared was angry at wanna of his fans audience during a concert in 2011?
I absolutely loved Tomorrowland. It was fun, quirky and it had some fun sci Fi lore.
Does the female main character wear jeans, bikini top, and boots though?
@@cashewnuttel9054hahahahahahhahahhahahhahahhahhahahahhahahahhahahhahah 😐
I liked it when I was in elementary, idk if I watch it now
@@cashewnuttel9054hahahahahahhahaahhahhahahahahahahahahahhahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahhahaahahahahahahaaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahha 😐
it was so good
I really liked most of these failed attempts
- Tomorrowland
- Sorcerer's Apprentice
- Ready Player One
- Eon Kid
- Astro Kid
- etc
Definitely will be making a video about sorcerer's apprentice
ready player one was wb
Ready Player One didn’t fail
Ready Player One is WB and is having a sequel next year.
Eon Kid? The Korean animated show? The heck?
Jesus, Brad Bird could have saved Star Wars.
Let’s not forget that force awakens (like it or not) was beloved by both critics and audiences when it came out…
But it was just a fling darling don't you realize we were all starving and we got this milk toast casserole when we when we really wanted a steak and some potatoes
Star Wars was doomed as soon as the mouse got its hands on this work of art.
@@Skaiser_Wilhelm7938Star Wars was already a failure with George Lucas. The prequels sucked.
@@Skaiser_Wilhelm7938 Andor is my favorite Star Wars thing that's ever been made (that I've seen). I'll take the wins where I can get them
THIS is why Disney keeps doing remakes. Their original films usually don't stick the landing. Hoping they start making PG-13 fairy tale musicals (that aren't remakes).
And RUclipsrs have the gall to blame Disney when they should be blaming themselves and the audience as to why Disney is doing remakes.
they don’t stick the landing cause of poor marketing and often times generic writing
@@redherringoffshoot2341 The latter is the biggest issue.
@@cashewnuttel9054 That's sort of funny "YOU didn't go see enough of these crappy original IP just because they were original, so now YOU can't complain about remakes!"
Well...if films like Tomorrowland had been great and felt like must-see cinema...everyone would have gone.
Films like Inception, Avatar and Interstellar don't struggle to become hit films despite not being original IP. Yes, they have trusted, known, talented filmmakers to help sell the concept.
The point still stands. You can't force the audience to watch bad movies JUST because "they are original!"
@@cashewnuttel9054because they keep making movies for a “modern audience” which is basically Twitter activists…that don’t spend money
John Carter could’ve been something amazing. That opening narrated by Willem still lives in my head rent free
It was an amazing film that Disney intentionally buried to curry favor with George Lucas.
The books are some of the best science fiction ever written!! had so mucb potential
@@sionellmccubbin953 read them myself and I wholeheartedly agree, up there with Dune, and many other legendary novels. maybe someday we’ll at least get a TV adaptation.
I love John Carter. I’m so mad still, that they basically buried it before it was born
that teaser trailer with Peter Gabriel's rendition of My Body is a Cage still is pure art!
Man I’m gonna lie I really wanted a lot of these films to succeed. We could’ve gotten a lot of new franchises. Now Disney is afraid to make anything new.
Yeah. We completely switched around on what we want.
Maybe when they start making new things in a couple years, we're switch again
I want them to come up with a GOOD new idea that succeeds. I can only conclude that they're just not capable of coming up with any anymore.
I really wanted the lone ranger to succeed specially. it really seems that flop made Disney and Gore Versbinski part ways
@@joaofigueiredo3048to be fair Army Hammer was a bad bet from the get go
A good director, good cast, and a great music set couldn't lift this film. Good screen writing is just as important.
I liked Tomorrowland, it had its own charm.
One of the saving graces, for me, was Hugh Laurie's monologue at the climax of the movie. What he's says is so relevant and topical that just watching him say it over and over is what made me want to hold on to this movie. It's pretty much how i feel about Rocky's monologue with his son, in the movie "Rocky Balboa". Even if most of a movie doesn't capture peoples' interest, you can always find at least one scene in it that makes it an instant guilty pleasure for some people to latch onto it.
I liked it too. My cousin who is more than 10 years younger than me loved it. Back when this movie aired on tv he would definitely chose this.
This film had some serious "Hollyweird" vibes with the entire dynamic between Clooney and Athena. Meet when Frank is a kid, and Athena obviously is built to appear as a kid. He ages, she doesn't. He still harbors weird romantic feelings for a robot that looks like a child. Just an odd one there.
finally someone else thinks the same thing as me 😭
I saw this movie in the theater and literally the weird romance vibes are the only thing I remember about it.
that’s one of the only things i remember about it aside from the cool tokens lol, ten year old me was weirded out
Yeah, it was really creepy. The whole movie was bad anyway but the weird romance thing between a robot that looks like a kid and a grown man was so weird.
This!!!! Why did they do that? It was so weird!
The part where the kid got hit by the car was out of nowhere
Seriously what movie is that from??
wait its not from tomorrow land? lol
lol it's from Tomorrowland. it was too funny not to include
4:19 wow thanks @isenhartproductions for commenting! But just that scene at 4:19 was out of pocket for disney
Yeah just from these clips I’m surprised this movie is so violent. Not to say the violence is bad, but for a “family friendly romp” I’m not expecting to see a child get hit by a car, or a girl beating someone to death with a baseball bat (I think they’re robots, but the robots look indistinguishable from humans so it plays into my point). It’s really gritty for a family movie, which seems out of place for a movie named after a theme park meant to be hopeful about the innovations of the future
I always felt this movie felt like a second or possibly third installment of a trilogy but we only got the one movie. They tried to cram so much into it through exposition that could have made an interesting movie too. I agree Giachinos score was fantastic and I personally thought Raffey Cassidy did a great job. She actually looks like she wants to be there.
Yeah I would totally watch a whole movie about Athena and the guys(forgot his name) back story. It was kinda the most interesting part of the movie it's pretty much all I remember anyway. (Except for the weird environmentalism, somehow hope is going to solve climate change and prevent natural disasters?)
@@Pandie2828yeah that environmentalism, naive 20 something beliefs is still in a lot of films, as if doing that will save the planet. It’s become nothing more than a rallying cry since it’s so hard to reverse now
My main problem with this movie is even watching this as an adult a few years ago, I struggled with understanding what the movie was even about?
Saving the earth i guess
Finding dreamers lmao I've no idea
Yeah the plot is stupid like he said. The Earth is in danger but we don’t know from what, so someone created Tomorrowland and it only lets people with “imagination” in.
From what I remember the villain was involved in a project that was meant to warn Earth of the dangers they were facing, but the things ended up happening anyway and so the villain decided that earthlings decerved to die
It was about not giving up in trying to improve the world
I actually like this movie. It's FAR from perfect. But i like it. I do think it would have worked better as an animated film though. Probably cheaper too, allowing them to spend more time actually in Tomorrowland itself. Might have actually made a profit that way.
the world definitely lends itself to animation better imo
The main problem with the film, is the script. The opening scene of the New York World's Fair and seeing Tomorrowland are great. That is where most of the budget went to.
The movie also felt like it couldn't commit to a genre imo. It wasn't really sci-fi enough, it wasn't really adventure enough, and it wasn't even "generic family movie" enough...which made it feel like a "nothing" movie without anything to say or any reason to exist/be remembered
I just remember LOVING some of the concepts that they were creating: this whimsical land that teleports the best and brightest off to it to improve the world sounds so interesting!…but they did nothing with it and I just about cried.
Tomorrowland in my opinion could not have a sequel it was made for it's time and it gave the message that we needed at the time. Which is the Hope runs eternal, but hope has a cost, and you need to figure out what your values are, for that hope to stay around
My hope is for an original idea that's actually entertaining. I lost hope for Disney coming up with one anytime soon.
3:48 when I saw this video, my first thought was like "yeah, I don't remember anything about that movie besides it being mid" and I'm glad I'm not alone 💀
I have literally never thought of this film since I walked out of the theater.
I remember seeing this in theater with my family and half of them went to sleep and I just kept thinking of meet the Robinsons
This was the comment I was looking for. I love Meet The Robinsons. I also love many things about this movie. It could have been better, but at least it is enjoyable.
At least we didn't get a sequel called "2morrowland"...
2morrow2land
I do agree one of the only big issues I had with this movie was it was about a futuristic sci-fi world and they spent most of their time in the boring real world. It’s like the first Godzilla movie with Brian Cranston in it, much of the trailers made it out that he and Godzilla were constantly in the movie, but Bryan Cranston dies in the beginning and Godzilla barley has much time in his own movie either.
I think Bryan Cranston may have been on screen longer than Godzilla was lol. Pretty bad for a movie called "Godzilla."
I begged my parents to watch this over Mad Max. They gave in to my demands sadly and we watched this. After the movie was over aka I woke my parents up we saw that there was a mad max showing soon. We bought tickets then watched Mad Max right after this. Needless to say it was a roller coaster of emotions in the theater that day.
You are such a doofus, never ask for something again kid
At least your parents were good sports.
Until almost the end of the video, I was thinking of all the good buzz I heard about this movie - and then I realized I was thinking of “Adventureland”, a somewhat better-reviewed film also named after an area in several Disney parks that I also did not see. The actual “Tomorrowland” sank so quickly that I (despite being a fan of both Bird and Laurie) barely remember it existing.
I loved Tomorrowland with all my inner child's heart. I felt like a kid again, and everything was possible. I even bought the 'Before Tomorrowland' book and read it cover to cover a couple times.
I never imagined it as a series, though. The movie was simple enough and required no sequels. I agree that it may feel a bit empty of... sustenance, but I need very little for entertainment so to me it was alright.
Yeah the vibes with Tomorrowland were the strongest part of the movie, but it really needed to improve the story around the Tomorrowland imagery and vibes.
Why did Disney think they could fight Universal's golden goose: the Jurassic Park franchise with something nobody knew about?? Jurassic World made over $1 billion in pure profits worldwide and spawned several sequels. Universal bet the farm on an established, legendary franchise. Disney bet the farm but didn't want to play any aces. This is like having nothing on the table while your opponent (Universal!) puts down a straight flush! Every time I went to see Jurassic World, the theaters were crowded.
Disney should’ve just learn from their mistakes instead of making excuses for “trying to be safe and sorry” and it keeps making more mistakes so it does a lot more harm than good.
Sorcerers apprentice is a banger...but tommorow land was the first film I ever walked out of the theater to go to the bathroom, for I was just so uninterested.
The real Tomorrowland was inside us all along
I remember finding this movie somewhere months (or a few years...idk) after it released, was able to watch it for free. I specifically only remember like 2 shots from this movie and that's it. Every once in awhile I'd remember those two shots and try to remember what the name of the movie was, but I could never remember. Thank you for cracking that mystery for me
As a kid, i thought the trailer of the film was just an ad for Disneyland.
Tomorrowland was filmed in the town I grew up in while I lived there. I remember seeing the film crews around the ponce de Leon lighthouse. (Seen at 3:50) And when they completely blocked off Main Street to film there. Absolutely crazy.
I watched this when I was 12 or 13 and the score really struck a note with me. You're right it's forgettable because I've been looking for this film on and off for years now, but I had forgotten basically everything about it but the score and the big wheat field with tommorowland in the middle. Thanks to you and the algorithm I've rediscovered this fever dream that's got stamped into my subconcious all those years ago
I remember as a gamer looking at this film and all I could kept thinking was "...so its Disney's™️ Bioshock".
When we finally get to Tomorrowland, it's a broken down wreck
If only they didn’t have George Clooney. Or cut his story time by 70%. What a great concept for a movie - optimism towards the future.
The concept of this movie was great but they did not stick the landing, and I was very disappointed.
I remember seeing it in theaters when I was 12 and I genuinely had no idea what it was even about
I liked tomorrowland alot. I think tomorrowlands issue was exactly what you mentioned. It was a failed attempt at creating a new universe. The movie just feels like one big setup with absolutely no reward.
i remember as a kid my father had downloaded this movie onto a pendrive for me along with other less popular disney channel original movies, like bad hair day and let it shine. it was some of the only screen access i had and i loved it smmmmm
omg let it shine is goated
two issues I had with Tomorrowland (apart from it being called "A World Beyond" in Europe because Tomorrowland is a large festival here):
- Selling a cool scifi world that we then get to see a few minutes and then not anymore for the rest of the movie was really not the right choice
- George Clooney being in love with a child robot was certainly a decision :|
For a film with a huge budget, the visual effects looked rough and sometimes unfinished
I think it’s funny how when Disney+ first came out I was interested to see what movies were coming soon and I saw that tomorrow land was gonna take until 2021 for it to come to and every time it was coming it was pushed back and now I’m pretty sure it’s just never showing up lmao
Lmao i watched that what went wrong transition so many times
4:16 crazy
i was 11 when this came out and i wanted it to be good so bad. it had all the makings of something so cool and felt so lackluster in execution 💀 i watched it a lot back then and my issue was definitely the that fact that they barely show tomorrowland😭 the retro-futurism was the main draw for me
Disney used to know how to make isekai movies. Peter Pan , Mary Poppins, the Animated Alice in Wonderland, get their characters from the real world to the other world smoothly and quickly . Even John Carter managed it.
I saw it, I liked it and if Disney hadn’t have meddled with the original script it would’ve been awesome.
It had a different script originally?
4:13 i think this may have been the hardest i’ve laughed at something in a while
The fact you don't get to see Tomorrow Land until right till the end of the movie, irked me immensely. It really should have been more like the 1950s future, mixed with a movie like City of Ember, or even a game like Bioshock.
This film had very little to offer in story, which is why the marketing had nothing to go on. Instead, they focused on the visuals, which were just as bland and vapid as the hackneyed narrative. Disney could've literally done anything with this property but came up empty. And, that's how this movie feels: empty.
I know there are devoted fans for this film, but it wasn't enough. You can't carry a franchise on aesthetic alone.
I was sad this movie wasn’t great. I love Tomorrowland and Disneyland, and I think movies based on the park rides can be fun.
Disney spent years being coy aboutand were trying to make it a mystery and Modern Audiences have zero patience or desire to take a chance on something new, much less completely unknown. I don’t remember if I liked it or not, but I generally love Britt Robinson. This movie really nurt her career. I will never understand how some actors can survive bomb after bomb, while others have one and they are relegated to low tier stuff after that.
I was probably their main target audience being a 10 year old boy who loved Tomorrowland at Disney world at the time, and the whole futuristic thing it embodied. The movie totally blue balled me on that and morally speaking it just reminded me of a more confusing “meet the robinsons”
I had no real attachment to the theme park ride Pirates of the Carribean, but the movie at least promised swashbuckling pirate adventure. Nothing about the Tomorrowland trailers said anything about why this movie had to be made or gave any kind of synopsis as to why I should watch it. They were being too mysterious about everything, but if nothing hooks people immediately, they'll move onto the next thing.
It's really a shame Brad Bird went downhill. Iron Giant, Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Mission: Impossible 4 are all really good movies, but then he made this and Incredibles 2, two movies that had great potential, but could've been so much better. Like, what happened man?
Tomorrowland feels like a misfire concept but you can tell he is trying to execute it with a lot of fun and visual flare and energy....while Incredibles 2 feels completely phoned in.
Until RUclips recommended this video, i had literally forgotten this movie existed 😅
I've often said that a bad movie is better than a boring movie.
Being boring is, by far, the worst cardinal sin a movie can commit.
I remember seeing the trailers and thinking, “Sooooo George Clooney is in it, and what else?” It told me nothing
George Clooney will never be a selling point for me, a movie would have to be pretty amazing to get past my dislike of him in general.
What is weird is that when I commented on your video on "The Lone Ranger", I brought up "Tomorrowland". Boring is the absolutely correct summary of this film.
This movie flopping was the sole reason why Brad Bird did Incredibles 2
Bro wanted to save his reputation so quick and ended up with a rushed out sequel
I have a feeling if he didn't have Incredibles to fall back on he would have been thrown in Director Jail
I blame it on Disney, originally the incredible 2 were to come out later and Toy Story 4 was gonna come out earlier, Disney switched their release dates because I2 was coming along more quicker
And I think it was for the worst because we got two movies which are pretty mid
Exactly why all shows,movies and games suck now,greedy companies break their creators until they leave or are fired
Incredibles 2 was at least far more interesting than this was. Wasn't perfect, but it was at least actually entertaining.
@@troodon1096was it though? i thought incredibles 2 was soooooo boring.
I really wanted to like this movie. The ideas that are present are interesting. It's a shame those ideas are presented so clumsily.
Tomorrowland is literally staying in my head rent free for almost a decade now💀💀💀
😅and i haven't even watched the movie
@@themelancholyofgay3543watch it!
Tomorrowland was a 2 hour trailer for a movie I’d still want to see.
The Disney animated movie Meet the Robinsons was a much better adaptation of Tomorrowland.
I think what really hurt the movie was that the plot wasn’t easy to grasp for kids. Like I remember seeing this when I was a teenager and still being bored and confused because the trailers gave no inkling on what it was about
I’d highly recommend watching a fan edit of tomorrowland called the dreamers cut. I can even send it to you if you’re not able to find yourself :-) it’s greatly reframes and adds more substantial meaning to the movie through with deleted scenes and restructuring of the movie, of which do you not agree that’s at least some of the deleted scenes could’ve helped with the movie here?
I would be interested in seeing that. I tried very hard to like this film.
Just sought this out and watched it... This was what the film was supposed to be! A decade later the underlying themes & messaging are more relevant than ever but they are antiethical to the ethos of modern regressive Disney so they buried the film, mangled the final edit & threw Brad Bird in director jail for questioning the Mouse House's hypocritcal lack of ethics.
@@provia17 The Dreamers Cut is much closer to the promised film.
As a fan of the film Tomorrowland, I want to see this remake made by fans? Send it to me now.
@@stormreidfanboy4259 Like I said, please send me any contact information so I can send it to you? :-)
Fun fact: In the low Countries, the Netherlands and Belgium, this movie was called Project T. This because there is a huge music festival already called Tomorrowland overhear, so Disney could not get the rights to secure the name of this movie.
so you mean in... BeNeLux?
I remember seeing trailers for Tomorrowland. It didn't look appealing at all.
It had no direction, no story line. Imagine an editor asking: what is this story about? No one knows.
They actually had an interesting arg marketing camping that had nods to Da Vinci Code-like alternative history secret society stuff. They also released a prequel book before the film released which also heavily included historical events and characters. It had nazi mechs (if I remember correctly) and some other ridiculous stuff but generally it felt less cartoony and childish when compared to the film. I think the main concept was that "what if forward thinking historical people had actually succeeded in accomplishing their most ambitious dreams or even more" e.g. Amelia Earhart not dying but instead finding a parallel reality, or Walt Disney building his EPCOT. None of that cool world building was used in the movie in any meaningful way.
If they had gone with the "Da Vinci Code meets alternative history scifi" story, instead of the cartoony action movie with a heavy handed message, I think the movie could've been more popular.
In the prequel book there's an illustration of smiling Einstein looking thoughtfully at a dog while other historical figures argue on the background. It's such a cool, memorable image, and yet there's nothing like it in the movie.
@@unipachu It had no direction. It seems that executives were changing their mind all the time.
I'm a sucker for films that FEEL like they can be "something big and epic" while being played up with a lot of mystery. I'm a sucker for the allure of the "This is going to surprise everyone and deliver and take the world by storm" kind of POTENTIAL that films have.
The problem is, that the film itself must actually deliver in spades. It needs to BE Star Wars/Jurassic Park/Avatar to really reach that massive potential....and it still needs to look appealing enough to get a large enough audience interested in the first place.
So I had all kinds of hope for the potential of this film. Then I saw it, and while not terrible...it just "isn't it" in terms of that pie in the sky success.
Shame, if they had pinched pennies, and streamlined it. If it had a $100M budget and a 100 minute run-time...it wouldn't have been so indulgent on random eye-candy, and wouldn't have stretched the plot too thin for its own good. It might have really clicked enough to be a proper hit in its own right.
Couldn't disagree more.
I was at NYCC when Disney had their panel and wouldn’t let people take photos so I had to just make people believe I saw George Clooney. It was such a great panel for a flop.
the thing that frustrates me is that they DO explain whats happening and why..... but not until virtually the end of the movie. We spend the entire movie wondering what Tomorrowland is and why people are after the main trio, and our question is only answered in the last 30 or so minutes. Great, well meaning message of the movie (we as society need to think more positively about our planet and lives and start living in a community in order to change the world for the better), but absolutely horrific execution in practice. Also it was really weird how they added in the childhood crush thing with clooneys character and the robot girl. Really really weird.
I remember seeing this as a kid, since disney channel kept advertising it and i thought it looked cool, and when i finally saw it, it was my first time being bored and disappointed by a movie and remember thinking it was so uninteresting i wanted to watch interstellar for a second time instead
Tomorrowland and Race to Witch Mountain were classics in my family. Every vacation me and my cousins would watch either of the two. That part where she tries to get to Tomorrowland but just walks into a lake stuck w me for some reason and now I'm finding out it was a failure?? damn 😭
I watched it as a kid and I was so uninterested and so confused. I think I immediately forgot all of it as soon as I left the theater. Even my mom was confused lol
I remember seeing the trailer when taking my kids to something. I remember thinking "this must stink, the preview is being mysterious".
I remember seeing this movie in the theaters, I even bought one of those pins. While I did like the concept and the message ultimately you’re right it was pretty boring. I was disappointed that we only got to see Tomorrowland in short flashbacks.
there’s so many movie reviewers that don’t mention the stuff that you mentioned and that is awesome like it should be a no-brainer, like mentioning the movies out at the time and so much more especially the end Beautiful etc. It would be awesome to do videos on the stuff that you were showing in the beginning.
thank you, I do have videos for those films planned as well
@@isenhartproductions2677 keep up the great work if the videos are done in the effort, you done in this video then I’m well sticking forward
I remember seeing this movie in theaters and being not necessarily underwhelmed but not overjoyed by it either, it was just mid, but I loved the aesthetics and ideas it brought to the table a lot to the point where I really wanted the cosplay the 50’s robot girl in the blue dress because I just found her outfit to be absolutely gorgeous, the art team’s dedication really is what made this movie passable and is really the only reason why I remember the movie today
Even though this movie wasn't super exciting and I only saw it one time, the aura/hype around it still holds a special place in my heart. It came out when I was graduating from elementary school to middle school. The movie's promotion has this really cool vibe of new beginnings and a "brave new world." During this time I myself was really excited for both my and the world's future, so it reflected it well. I was excitedly imagining which field I would go into in college, so the idea of a city of all these new technologies was really exciting to me. During the summer in between, I actually visited Dubai which reminded me of the so-called Tomorrowland. When I flew back home to start middle school very soon, I watched this movie for the first and only time on the plane; it was not really what I had hoped. But its optimism stuck with me, and so I always associate this movie with a youthful optimism for the future from a more innocent time.
This is why Disney only cares about sequels and existing IPs.
I watched this movie years ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked the two young female leads. I especially liked Athena, the female android. But, then again, I am still a big fan of the 80s sitcom Small Wonder, and I could see a lot of Vicki in her character.
Seeing the star wars fans, I don't think Brad Bird regretted anything.
Man I remember going to cinema to see this movie with my school back when I was I kid. It's like a fever dream for me. I can't remember a single thing from this movie aside from Hugh Laurie
I did not find this movie boring. I bought a copy and have seen it 3 times. Loved the toy shop scenes. The magical "T" button that transforms and the lead character walks into a wall at the police station. Cool movie but still felt that the ending could have been better.
you can spend a lot of happy time (needs several viewings) to identify everything in the store, there's stuff from disney's BLACK HOLE,wow! and I'm almost sure but not quite sure there's a small black and white picture of uncle walt on the wall in the background (but relly not sure, maybe just wishful thinking)
Loved the tokens so much when I saw this as a kid, literally the best part about the film imo. I found a metal token with a T on it six months later (it looked nothing like the real one) but man I was OBSESSED.
Good production, miserable direction. You can not take a princess and make her wear jeans later. Then the other girl, Britt Robertson, only screams all the time. And many scenes were just forced. Horrible direction.
Even though I actually liked this film, I feel like the film’s biggest downfall is that we only get like 10 minutes in Tomorrowland, then most of the film is just the two main characters trying to get to Tomorrowland. I feel like if we had spent a majority of the time IN Tomorrowland, then it would’ve done much better. I am excited for the new Space Mountain movie coming out, though!
Athena held this movie together. Her role was vital to all the main characters. The girl showed real poise, considering her youth.
How has Disney still not figured out that Disneyland rides don’t make good movies, 1 jungle cruise and 2 failed haunted mansion attempts later. All they got is pirates and they can’t even use Johnny depp anymore for reasons people will fight over on twitter
Pirates of the Caribbean was the only exception to the rule and even it fizzled out by movie 4. I don't know how many more things they'll attempt: Hall of Presidents the movie? They should stick to making rides based on movies and quit trying to make movies based on rides.
@@troodon1096 hall of presidents would be awesome, like an avengers movie with William Howard Taft instead of the hulk and instead of saving the world they bomb hospitals
What is going on with that wig they put on Keegan-Michael Key?
I have the same problem with this as I did with The Cabin In The Woods. While it's easy to rant about what's wrong with movies, what you need to do to make a lasting impact is to show them a better way.
Instead of creating a movie about a hopeful future, it spent most of it's runtime grumbling about the bleak world it created.
I'm glad futuristic media like cyberpunk and blade runner fills in the void that tomorrow land was missing. I was so lied to as a kid
I really like the sci-fi lore of this movie to the point I made fan-fic and OC out of it. It was like comfort movie when I was in elementary. A transportation that goes so fast it's lower you blood pressure so you need to eat sugary for regaining it back? Robot girl? A cool pin? Those things stuck on my mind.
This movie was actually fun, charming and really great until the last act, the final 30 minutes. Then became just bad and with an unnecessary story about the conditions of the Earth today
I remember watching this as a child and I was absolutely enthralled by the movie and fell in love with it. Idk what it was but I still feel the nostalgia whenever I watch this movie
Saw it as an adult on one of the streaming services and while I really wanted to like it (really liked the whole vibe of the 50/60s sci fi theme), it just never landed as you said. It felt very long winded and boring, but also that it was trying too hard to set out the scene for a 3/4 films coming.
Also the two parts that really stuck with me was as someone else said the incredibly creepy romance part and the fact that they were essentially stealing 'great minds' at the end. It's played off as a joyus thing, but the fact their enticing people with problem solving skills etc away to another planet, just left me feeling like a "Well thanks alot guys" moment.
DUDE I remember seeing the trailer for tomorrowland when I was young and I always thought that I dreamt about it
No one going to mention the off-putting love story between a middle-aged George Clooney and a child-looking robot? Justify it all you want ("She's an old robot that only looks young." "They were both kids when they fell in love and she just didn't age.") but on screen it's simply creepy. It was an odd choice.
I actually liked it. What I liked most was the idea, the concept of it. It’s whimsical and spectacular. I wish it hadn’t flopped. Hopefully it can be done better in the future, same with Lone Ranger.
I feel like when conceptualizing this movie everyone must have been so hyped to have this unique setting, great concept art and high profile actors that nobody actually cared what the movie was even about. It's such a weird yet polished movie where any resemble of a plot feel like they've been added in the last week of production because they genuinely forgot.
