Disney's Failed Next Big Thing: Artemis Fowl
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2024
- Since the early 2000s Disney has been trying everything in their power to recapture the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. With numerous failed attempts at a new franchise they accidentally created a new subgenre of films in the process, a subgenre I like to call the “Failed Next Big Thing”.
But, despite Disney’s best effort they never found their next Pirates of the Caribbean and all these films were buried and forgotten about. 2020’s Artemis Fowl is a prime example of this idea, as it’s a movie that was so bad it wasn’t even given a theatrical release, going straight to Disney+ instead. So let’s examine this film to find out where it all went wrong and how a film with such promising source material failed so badly.

more like Fartemis Bowel
I hate that I laughed at this for like 5 full minutes
BAHAHAHAH
You missed *"Fartemis Foul"*
GOT his ass
ayo this made me laugh
My guess is that some executive hated the idea of the protagonist of a kid's movie being kind of villainous, and once that choice was made, everyone knew the movie would flop and stopped trying.
Paging Mr. Iger, Paging Mr. Iger!
See the thing is, that feeding time scene? It's actually one of the few book accurate scenes in the movie, the dwarves from Artemis fowl dig by unhinging their jaws, shoveling up and swallowing giant mouthfuls of dirt, passing it rapidly through their digestion, and violently excreting it behind them as they dig, allowing them to burrow through dirt faster than most people can run. Honestly, I actually rather liked how grotesquely they portrayed it in the movie, as Mulch Diggums is meant to be a super gross, freaky, unsavory character that no one ever wants to work with, but they have to anyway. So yeah, hats off to the movie for exactly one good scene! The rest of the movie can go suck a lemon.
Doesnt matter if it's book accurate or not. It's just too stupid.
I think part of the issue is it came out of nowhere. I remember reading the books and Mulch is always described from the beginning as having a massive inhumanly wide jaw and “gray tombstone teeth.” He also isn’t some “giant dwarf,” he’s normal fairy short, maybe a little taller than elves. If his grotesque qualities were more shown in the movie before that point it wouldn’t have been as shocking and unexpected as it was in the film.
@@akivaharker7865 The book always made me imagine him looking like Wario. Maybe acting like him too.
@@anonymous-hz2unAccuracy matters
Diggums was way too "handsome" in this movie. I thought it was another grotesque troll
12 year old criminal mastermind is one of the most anime sentences ever
An Artemis Fowl anime could work out very well!
@@cane6074I'd watch it
@@cane6074 an animated series done in the style of the graphic novels drawn by Giovanni Rigano would look really good
Artemis Fowl is meant to be an antagonist (in the first book at least) so it's baffling that Disney just chose not to stick to this key aspect of the character
Over the first three or four books (the fifth book feels like the point Colfer realised he could spin the series out for as long as he could with the major shift in world building focus to other dimensions) he develops into a good person, the first book being to set up where his character arc begins from.
That was a total deal breaker for me. Artemis Fowl is fantasy Die Hard. He needs to be a sadistic, cruel little brat that outsmarts the overconfident, arrogant Fae folk. It was peak grey vs grey.
His surname is literally Foul
Minor correction, protagonist and antagonist refer to the central character and their opposing force respectively. Artemis is the protagonist of book 1. But he is also definitely the villain of book 1.
@mattgriffin0231 unless you view Holly as the protagonist, since she is technically one too?
It's like death note, you see both sides play off against each other from their POVs, but it also uses the villain as the main protagonist.
9:17
So- pretty much. Almost the entire book does actually take place in the Fowl Manor, since the fairies have it locked down. But they cut the interesting market setting out of the beginning, don't spend nearly as much time as they could have in Fowley's lab, totally disregard the epic magma tube transport sequence, and don't even give Butler his incredible suit of armor and a mace face-off against the troll. I assure you, the book used its spaces much better.
Exactly! Die Hard isn't boring because it's mostly confined to the building, it's the use of space that's important.
For someone who read the books, there are, but certainly not limited to, two severe flaws. The first is that book Artemis is very averse to physical activity that he absolutely doesn’t have to do, and doesn’t enjoy normal teenage things (he has to put on a typical teenager persona to infiltrate a bank in the fourth book and spends time grousing about wearing T shirt and jeans looking forward to getting back into his suit) so for him to be recreationally surfing is completely out of character to his prose counterpart.
Then there’s the character of Root. In the books Holly is the only woman in the frontline officers of the LEP (Lower Elements Police Recon, aka leprechaun, the only other woman is there to look good for publicity material), needing to overcome how she is perceived in carrying out her duty. Her supervising officer is Julius Root, who is in her corner but this doesn’t mean he’s easy on her. The film genderbends Root to be Dame Julie Dench, undercutting the significance of Holly’s position and motivations. It’s gender diversity at the cost of something actually important carrying over from the source material.
Exactly, when further reading the series he comes off as gruff and stoic, a mentor and leader to holly and later in the series a very strong male role model in her life. Almost fatherly. But they decide to gut the whole thing just to try and follow this stupid trend.
Ehh, it could be turned into a "I'm hard on you because you have to be as tough as I was to make it" angle and work in a similar way I think
Artemis is the antagonist of the first book (maybe the anti-villain at best). He is the terrorist that the police and SWAT teams are trying to neutralize. Disney wasn’t willing to embrace the title character being the villain.
Villain protagonist* since he's still the main character. An antagonist is someone who opposes the main character
Yeah the book was a tightly focused crime story (albeit a kid friendly one) with a fantasy twist that worked in the one location“bottle episode” setting cuz it was about the move and countermove of the criminal vs the LEP trying to get their hostage back. And Artemis was the main character but clearly the bad guy. It was more about tension building than bombastic action set pieces. Also it was just a straight up Artemis kidnaps Holly for ransom. None of the weird oculus artifact or Artemis Sr being involved stuff.
They changed so much there was no way book fans weren’t gonna hate it. And made it so cheesy and awkward that it wasn’t gonna stand on its own.
Cant wait for Failed next big thing: A wrinkle in Time
Oh my god that would be a good one. I completely forgot about that 😂
Yikes, that has to have some amazing production notes.
that movie was stupid af
Damn, that was harsh one, especially that it was expected to be huge for a female director. I hated Reese Witherspoon in that movie and man, it's too bad for me to say this as a huge fan of her
Can we stop letting Kenneth Branagh adapt things that aren't Shakespeare because he doesn't seem to understand his source material unless it's in iambic pentameter.
He nailed Cinderella and honestly Thor 1 was very competent
😂
Haunting in Venice was enjoyable. This wasn't tho
Thor 1 is by far the best Thor film. And a not bad adaption into the mcu
Kenneth Branagh was absolutely not to blame here, it was out of touch executives.
Yeah, I agree. Kenneth Brannagh hit a low point in his career with this movie. Man made Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, a Hercule Poirot Trilogy, my favourite Thor movie, and arguably the best Disney live-action to ever be made. It's hard to believe a director with this much talent would end up directing such a mess!
The first Thor is your favorite movie? That’s a wild take.
@@JuQui228It's the best by far
@@GoTenDu loves his Dutch angles I guess.
Brannagh has talent, but even a talented man can’t polish a turd. Once you’ve had so many directors pass through a project (and writers, cast, and crew) there’s an infinitesimal chance it works out. Truly teeny tiny. It’s like a chef trying to bake with ingredients already used to make other recipes.
Adding a point that I haven't seen brought up yet, WHY were Holly and Juliet made into kids? It's been a while since I've read the books, but from what I remember Juliet was a teenager and Holly was a fully grown adult woman (just tiny because, y'know, she's a fairy). Part of the fun of reading this as a kid was that Artemis was a child (like me) surrounded by and totally dominating the adults around him. In getting rid of that and the fact that he is definitely villainous, they removed the main parts that made the book unique.
(I also saw a comment below comparing Artemis Fowl to Die Hard with the villain as the protagonist, and THAT FEELS SO ACCURATE. Why couldn't they have just stuck with that?)
Until I saw this video I thought Artemis Fowl was some sort of athropomorphic duck, like Howard the Duck or Duckman. Thanks for clearning things up for me. I am disappointed that this is not about a duckman though.
I think that would have been a way better movie, a story about a duck wizard that takes fairies hostage to perform magic needs to happen.
A lot of people have described the first book as Magic Die Hard with Hanz Gruber as the protagonist.
Exactly
The Aculos macguffin was never in the books at all. I was very confused when they made this random glowing thing central to the plot. Fans of the books were insulted, and those unfamiliar with the books were confused, repulsed, and bored. Truly this film was for no one, and to this day I still consider it the worst movie I've ever sat through.
What pisses me off about this movie the most is how much it botched the main character. His book counterpart is pretty cool and pretty subversive when it comes to protagonists of his genre. He's a genius rich kid, who has no powers or chosen one status and uses his cunning and wits to get out of situations. He's also a villain protagonist, and the first book is like if Die Hard was told in Hans Gruber's POV. In this movie, he's a bland plank without any charm or charisma. What a waste.
Ah. One of those movies you watch the first 20 minutes of, realizes it has no soul and then turns it off and immediately forget that you ever watched it.
As soon as I saw Artemis surfing I knew this was going to be a dumpster fire.
love these failed next big thing videos, very good assessment of what actually happened and stuff
Thank you!
This, Uglies, Spiderwick, Percy Jackson, etc. has kinda made me feel like those old YA books just don’t work adapted. Harry Potter was a miracle. I think part of why it doesn’t work is that ppl either feel the need to change things for modern audiences or cuz they believe they could do better. Which is BS.
I miss the old kids shows with action. It was a unique flavor that hasn’t been able to be captured cuz they’re either cancelled or butchered.
Harry Potter movies was butchered as heck if you even bother reading the books. A lot of the setting and characters was downright simplified and the casts was "Hollywoodfied" with a bunch of pretty boys and girls.
Two things made this film flop:
1 Turning Artemis into a good kid, as many commenters have already explained.
2. Forced diversity. Like one comment stated, Holly no longer being the only female in the LEP destroyed her as the feminist icon she is and whilst this is a little nitpicky, Butler was implied to be Siberian because of his Russian name but he was Eurasian looking. Asians still get fewer opportunities then black people do in Hollywood and how often is Siberian culture specifically given some limelight in Hollywood productions? Whilst I'm not from Siberia, I am of Eurasian heritage and blackwashing him wasn't cool to me.
5:40 "Maybe it could of had potential."
No. Full stop. As someone who grew up reading the novels, seeing Artemis Fowl surfboarding in the trailer was almost physically painful.
The problem is their size and the fact that movies really only bring in so much money. They literally fail unless they break records at the box office. I think these movies are their attempts to not only repeat Pirates but also to figure out the formula for creating blockbusters. You can see similarities between Pirates and a lot of the other videos you covered. They'll take bits and pieces they believe are important and assemble them into a different ip to repeat the success.
It would do better as a cartoon.
The entire premise is silly, but the story itself takes itself seriously. That is an easier pill to swallow in book, graphic novel, and cartoon. When you put it into live action the suspension of disbelief is harder.
Eh, I'd say less because of that, and more because when it takes more place in the fairy world, it'd be 99% animated anyways.
this really feels and looks like a movie that would be released in 2002 on the disney channel. like halloweentown levels of camp plot and production. i probably would have loved this movie when i was nine or ten. im really just surprised this is as recent as it is because its giving some real xenon/sharkboy/spy kids vibes -which, like i said, was great when i was a kid so im not gonna judge this too harshly. when the main character is 10 and a superspy or something 😂 okay kids, pop off🎉
Artemis Fowl deserves another shot
I T S F E E D I N G T I M E [cue meme shot]
"Artemis Failed" because they made up nonsense that was not even in the book. Artemis is also not showing the "criminal" personality he is supposed to have. He is portrayed as a good kid, not smart either. He uses Apple products, where are the Macs? The best actor was Holly the fairy I think.
I hope we can get a faithful adaptation in TV series of these beloved books after the movie failed hard like the His Dark Materials books that managed to gain a successful faithful adaptation on HBO and BBC after New Line Cinema's movie adaptation of one of the books, The Golden Compass flopped hard at the box office. The book is great, it has every opportunity to be great when it's handed to the right team
Sadly, I don't think Disney will relinquish the rights to another streamer, especially if that streamer is Netflix, because we know Netflix would do it right (and then cancel it after one season!).
1:35 Christ I can only imagine how it must’ve felt to be that filmmaker. Imagine having so many people dislike your movies so much that they make a group effort to make sure you DON’T make a movie
But he DID make Son of the Mask... it does feel somewhat justified.
The books are really good but they're also incredibly dark and filled with dense sci-fantasy worldbuilding. Despite the young protagonist, I feel like a film adaptation should have been aimed at an older-teen audience and probably should have been animated in order to more easily portray the fantasy world.
Artemis needs what Netflix provided for A Series of Unfortunate Events. Artemis needs a series that properly covers the books - not a whitewashed movie that changes _everything_ about the books.
That means...
- Artemis needs to be a villain we root for as he slowly turns into an anti-hero
- Holly needs to face the issues being the LEP's first female recon officer
- Root needs to be his proper male self and treat Holly harshly for being the first female recon officer
- Butler needs to be a Eurasian mountain of muscle who properly sends the beatdown on the troll
- Artemis Fowl Senior needs to be kidnapped by the Russian mafia
- Juliet needs to be pretty
- Mulch has to be a dwarf - NOT JOSH GAD in terrible steampunk Middle Earth cosplay
- Opal need not be mentioned or involved until The Arctic Incident
..."whitewashed?!" You choose that word...
How about throw away the black and white morality that this series did not have in the first few books.
It's not whitewashed, learn what it means. However, Butler was blackwashed indeed.
> "whitewashed"
> doesn't mention whitewashing
@@Raximus3000 Artemis was entirely whitewashed, as in he had all his edges and flaws sandblasted off. What are you even on about?
@@nopenope2550 That's not what whitewashed means.
Some 20+ years ago during my time at Disney Studio, I remember registering “Artemis Fowl” for online domain name. The name sounded so strange I remember it to this day.
Everyone knows Disney hates source material
You saying we don't know anything about the antagonist had me so baffled until I remembered this movie removed the fact that Artemis is the antagonist. 😭 (The protagonist is Holly in the first book.)
I haven’t even watched this movie but from your explanation all I can say is “Read the books” they are genuinely so much fun, you’ll love them. Artemis is supposed to be the villain in book 1.
I love Colin Farrel, but the poor guy gets himself into a lot of crap....
9:48 The best proof about how the villian is forgetable is that actually her, and you’ve been refering her as him the whole time
At least it was only 120 Million as opposed to the recent Concord which apparently wasted 400 fucking million
Imagine being Ferdia Shaw and thinking you're gonna be the next Daniel Radcliff and you're gonna be making blockbusters for at least the next 5-6 years only to have it get dumped on streaming and everyone immediately hated it
Just when I was in need of something to watch, Tom saves the day again
Even with the subverted expectations of live action Disney stuff based on books, it managed to make Maze Runner and Hunger Games look like a Christopher Nolan film. It sucked so bad, combining the elements of say MIB films, muddled mythology of the last two Percy Jackson films and made it into something boring as hell.
I do remember this movie. On the internet we all laughed on this movie when it came out. I remember the memes from this movie were everywhere.
You think they were trying to capture pirates again with this one?
Naw man, they were going for Harry Potter with this one.
I watched this movie on release day in D+ and it was one of the most miserable experiences I've had watching a movie. I was utterly baffled the whole time. The problems came early on, with the film's very few scenes having a bunch of characters just telling you how awesome Artemis Fowl was, and I already knew I was gonna hate the character because of it. If you want the audience to think a character is cool, then show them doing cool things. Having other characters tell you he's cool just doesn't work. Sadly, he's only one of this movie's many problems. Every other character is also underwritten and uninteresting, the plot is inconsistent and unfinished, the effects are unimpressive and the dialogue is preposterous. Having the movie end with Artemis telling how he's a criminal mastermind when at no point in the entire movie he was either of those things is insane.
When I watched the movie I didn't know anything about the source material, but then out of morbid curiosity I started reading the first book and only two pages in I realized the entire plotline and characters have been completely and utterly butchered. I feel like had I gone into the movie as a fan of the books I would have ended up with brain cancer at the end.
Why do I love hearing about people taking massive Ls on RUclips. I don't care about Disney or this movie but when I see 'FAILED BIG THING' i couldn't wait to click.
I dont know why it took them so long to release it. The book came out in 2001, why on earth did they release a film adaptation in 2020??
artemis fowl is a great book series, if they just stuck with it and had artemis be potrayed as a villain it would be great and be a great movie franchise
One of my fave new channels great work man
A movie should NOT cost more than 100+ million dollars.
It was in development hell for like 20 years, so yes the cost adds up. Frankly this shouldn't strictly be a kids movie because the main character is actually a bone fide villian.
Hear me out: Artemis Fowl would ONLY work as an animated series. It's too quirky and weird for the big screen
Maybe Netflix can have a hand at adapting it after they finish with the Leviathan books.
I find it interesting how you never heard about the movie when it came out. I do remember there being “buzz” for this movie when it came out but for the wrong reasons. Everyone who had seen the movie was absolutely trashing on it when it came out which I remember fairly clearly.
Why the hate for RPID? The movie was poorly-made (oh man, that CGI was so cringe!), had a not-well-executed plot, but it WAS fun. I mean, it deserved at least ONE star.
They hired the Green Lantern scriptwriter, what were they thinking?
I forgot this movie existed
I think the best way, to show the stories of (ARTEMIS FOWL) in entertainment, is to make it into a, computer animated show series.
I think this way, it could be possible, to see the main character, slowly change over time.
From Artemis, starting out, as a selfish, egocentric, prideful, stubborn, disrespectful jerk, to slowly becoming a better person.
Of him slowly becoming, kind, genuinely considerate, genuinely respectful, no longer prideful, and he realizes he must properly things through.
In addition Artemis Fowl, stops being selfish, his ego lowers bit by bit, and he takes responsibility for his actions.
Really got to be saying something if Disney decides that it's not worth the disk space to keep this available on Disney+...
Artemis fowl is ripe for a proper Anime adaptation, I think that would be the best way for this story to be seen.
I'm actually really shocked that they didn't make the entire series a TV show. Fantasy High show for kids where you could plot everything out on cliffhangers and twists when not only work really well for episodic television. But it would also give the one-two punch of really highlighting the advantages of Disney+
Can you do Mars Needs Moms?
When I watched the trailer, I was actually hyped to watch it, but once I did watch it, well, ......
Intended to see this movie one day I had nothing to do. But couldn't. Is sadder than sad xd
Never saw this film, but have to say, this video was amazing. Loved how worked up Tom got 😂😂
You know, after getting scrapped three times they should've made into an animated film instead of live action.
Can you do a video on Cirque du Freak?
Such a wasted attempt at a good story
Ah, another failed adaptation of the children's media/YA spectrum. If only all these failures got the proper adaptations they deserve. I swear the twist of Steve and Darren being half-brothers in the final book still has me gawking over a decade later.
@@inferiorinferno8859 funnily enough, just found out the Demonata books are being made into a show!
whoa. you broke my heart when you said that you gave Men half a star...
I remember seeing movie posters for this, but then it just disappeared, i never realised it released on streaming.
Good pull i forgot about this
the book is a base under siege story, so it's okay that there weren't many locations. but this movie was doomed to fail. i LOVED the books, but i knew i wouldnt watch as soon as i saw the trailer because the trailer showed him surfing and showed Butler/his dad handing Artemis this information/secret. The whole hook of the books is that Artemis is a super genius who can outsmart even adults but has almost no other skills, and that he's a little greedy monster. kids like him because his bad behavior is escapism, a power fantasy, but his awkwardness and immaturity make him relatable. but you want him to get better. it was clear that movie artemis wasn't going to have the same pull, so what was the point? (also, in the first book his dad is just backstory, and doesn't get rescued until book 2. while i understanding combining the first two books a la the black cauldron, artemis rescuing his beloved father is so humanizing that it really needed to be saved until AFTER you set artemis up as the villain. but that's my smallest gripe.)
So _that's_ what happened to that one. I just thought it released to as much of a welcome reception as all the other old YA novels-turned-movies (especially since there are so many books in the series). And that they were busy working on the next one (again re: series length). Figured it was going to be the next Percy Jackson.
I will also say I really would love to hear the details decades later from something that has come up over and over again about Disney, which is how much. Not only did the success of phase three of them MCU get to their head but simultaneously how much of their plans changed when they acquired Star Wars. Hell just how they were talking about it and setting it up that they thought Star Wars was going to be a second MCU and they cancel And starved a lot of really good potential projects just to do the Star Wars sequels and then when that fell through as well as Marvel phase 4. We are in thrashing scramble and form of Disney that they're in now. Wonder how much of Artemis file was affected by that where they were like? Oh, we don't care if this film flops because we have Star Wars and phase four is about to kick off and now not only do we have a bat out of his foul movie but now bad things in the properties that were supposed to work.
I had never heard of Artemis Fowl until this movie was supposed to come out (or had come out on D+, not sure which). I read people's rants on how they messed up the story. I chose to pass on this one. I understand the fans pain, I've felt it plenty of times myself.
i remember being extremely excited for it and counting down the days and dear god i hated this film
i think the issue was that they censored the book even being a childs book had stuff they shy away from, disney needs to stop making movies for the family... the family unit as they see it stopped existing in 1970
yes keep talking about disneys failed next big thing era i literally think about this era all the time
Disney somehow managed to screw up Die Hard but magic.
I will admit I have seen this one. The first thing I watched when my family signed up for Disney plus? Also, along with Timmy failure.
I read a few books in the series when I was in grade school, and of those books I remember very very little... But I'm 98% sure that dirt eating bit is in the source material 💀
This could have been the western's Code Geass/Death Note. But alas.
I would be cool if studios would develop a good movie, before their sequels
great video!!
“Disney’s 125 million dollar mistake!”
Which million dollar mistake are we taking about now?
Disney HAD a successful thing--a beloved book and book series with fun characters and good ideas, all right there. But Disney as always has legs too big for the britches they wear, and it shows. From top to bottom, this movie stinks, and it reeks of nothing more than their inability to handle their one job, that of actually adapting the book. They were afraid to follow the story, afraid to write the characters as is, afraid to let Artemis Fowl--genius boy villain--be a genius, or a villain.
Everything in this movie just feels off, and after seeing enough scenes you might realize why; there's a massive amount of rewrites and changes, a ton of ADR dialogue, and a simplified, streamlined plot--every moment of screentime this film gives off, more than anything else, a vibe of not WANTING to stick the landing. No one could commit, no idea was allowed to stay, and anyone watching has to cope with the understanding that no one who made this film had faith in it.
0.5 for Men? That's a good movie!
I think it's Nando v Movies but someone breaks down the movie and how it seemed to have been almost completely rewritten in the edit with stuff like the mcguffin being added entirely after the fact and only ever talked about or mentioned through ADR or Josh Gad talking alone in a room clearly in reshoots
You're lucky you didn't hear about it. I was pumped, and was almost as disappointed in it's mess of a movie as I was with Shamalan's Last Air Bender ***shudders***
At least “Ong” was still an airbender in that. Artemis wasn’t even a criminal in this
@@creed8712 very good point
Have you done Nutcracker and the Four Realms yet?
i loved these books.
This movie was butchered in post production. ruclips.net/video/_ui0eoqPsdU/видео.html
Can you do the nutcracker movie from 2018 💀
It’s actual nightmare fuel
Are the books good?
I remember liking them as a kid. But I don’t think they’re anything groundbreaking
Awful
I enjoyed them, personally. I think the first book stands alone very well, if you don't want to commit to the whole series. It's almost perfectly self-contained and is still my favorite of all the books.
I was hoping for something clever when I read the first one. I was just bored.
@@mariacargille1396You can read the first four books and feel satisfied. The way the fifth books opens the world feels like it’s seen as milkable despite the main story being told in terms of the redemption character arc Artemis goes through.
I enjoyed these books. I remember seeing the movie trailer and being deeply concerned
Jeez I don’t know if Alex Garland is among peers on that 1 star list but to each their own 😅
About Braungh: "'Much Ado About Nothing,' was good."
That's reaching back pretty far, because he's really not all that interesting of a director.
Wait you mean like Hamlet Kenneth Branagh? Aww that hurts
I've seen it when i was younger long time ago, i thought it was good move
Good, i hope disney continues making big mistakes and losing money so theyre forced to sell off IP's. I know this is super unlikely to happen but one can hope
WAS THAT RUBEOUS HAGRID?😂😂😂
There was so much buzz around this movie, and the buzz was the movie sucked. I never heard of the book series before but I knew all about the movie
