Oh, you say Megamind's theater sales were too "risky" for a sequel?

Surely your fans won't use a meme to mock you about your company's vital decisions.

discussion: sequel, discussion: real life, dreamworks not being awesome, genre: humor, for the lulz

As usual your sense of humor doesn't fail to elicit a laugh and a smile from me.

Yeah, between making a movie about the Easter Bunny (I'm pretty sure that was Dreamworks) and making a movie about a snail Dreamworks seems to be of the opinion that 3D animated movies are just for parents and mostly younger kids. >:C

See, this is why I rarely watch animated movies. Snails, bunnies, garden gnomes??? No thank you. I took a chance on Megamind and I'm glad I did, but sometimes the material choice is downright insipid.

But nooo, don't make us a sequel. We'll be fine over here with Madagascar 14 or whatever the shit they are up to.

Did you see Chris Rock on the Oscars last night? Even he is sick of playing that silly zebra!

Meanwhile we know Will is like, fuming...

Was that before or after he nearly clam-shelled Brad Pitt's face with the cymbals? :)

(C'mon, DW! Can't you see how badly he wants to banter with Brad again!)

Wow, people here really hate snails.

filthy_animal February 27 2012, 21:06:04 UTC

Snails are actually one of my favorite animals. Trufax. Cute little shits they are!

Just when THAT is what we're getting when a Megamind sequel would be not only 1) successful 2) profitable 3) amazing-- I have to question their goal as a company. Dreamworks was SO CLOSE to going into the right direction for animation-- but no, more "meh" movies about talking animals and piggybacking off of the popularity of already existing concepts (Peabody and Sherman, Captain Underpants, HTTYD, Rise of the Guardians). And this shit will stick with them for the next few years, bringing them full-circle back to being a constantly mocked company like they once were for things like DUALing with Pixar and Dreamworks Face and talking animals and whatever else we wanna painfully remind them of.

Filthy, you NEVER cease to amaze... I can't believe they are making a movie about a snail!? The only popular snail there is, is Gary the snail from Spongebob..

It's a meme called "Condescending Wonka".

dani_kin February 28 2012, 03:04:09 UTC

Ha, if you look at the timestamp you answered this question at 3:29 and I answered it at 3:32... both with the same link. We are smart and awesome.
