Shark Tale.

Don't watch it.

I actually like the King Fu Panda and Madagascar movies, but seriously. Don't. Watch. Shark Tale.
Funny... The guy who's directing Detective Pikachu, is also The guy who directed Shark Tale


Maybe we should be worried

The Shrek franchise, memes aside, is an interesting one to talk about.

The films basically went from "yeah, this is great and worthy of being the first Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature," to "this sequel is on par with if not better than the original," to "let's forget this one exists," to "it doesn't hold a candle to the first two but at least it's better than the third one and is actually watchable."

The second one is legit amazing.

The third one is legit trash.

I don't expect 5 to be as good as 2, but at least as good as 1?

I think I heard things about the next one being a reboot? Honestly very skeptical about that being a good idea, but who knows? Maybe it'll be good.

...TBH I'm more frightened by what Illumination is going to do to poor Mario.

How To Train Your Dragon = Lilo and Stitch, "A boy/girl and their dog/dragon/space mutant."

How To Train Your Dragon 2 = Stitch has a Glitch. Toothless/Stitch turn violent.

If this trend continues, HTTYD3 will end up like Leroy and Stitch with Toothless taking out the baddy with the power of Rock n' Roll. Obviously.
Everyone knows Dreamwork's true masterpiece will be Shrek 5.
It will be until the inevitable Shrek 6 finally rolls around.

Not much, probably. Most of their movies are more boring then bad. Minions are their only real abomination..

Here's the first thing you need to know about playing Sonic.

You gotta go fast.
As a Sonic subber...you’re absolutely right

Shark Tale was a good and fun movie

The 3rd movie should never be forgotten...and y’all obviously didn’t like the Immigrant Song scene and the God Tier Frog Dad dying scene

My favorite part about Shrek Forever After is that you literally don't need to watch Shrek the Third to see it. It literally doesn't connect back in any meaningful way. You see that Shrek and Fiona had kids right at the start via montage, so it can just be taken as "oh okay that happened off screen after the second film."

Other than that literally the only reference to the third film is that King Harold only appears as a portrait in the cast role call at the end, but you wouldn't know why if you didn't see him die in the third film. That's literally the only thing stopping Shrek the Third from outright being deemed non-canon.

I mean, Dreamworks was kinda made to be the the anti Disney, and do stuff that Disney would never have the guts to do in their films (in fact, it was actually partially founded by an ex-Disney employee), and a lot of their older films show

Their first movie, Antz, came out around the same time as A Bug's Life (Both being animated movies about ants. And no, the similar release dates was likely not a coincidence), and was drastically different from it. A Bug's Life was a very lighthearted, and pretty family friendly movie, while Antz was pretty dark, and very edgy in content. You thought Shrek was shocking with it's swearing? That was nothing

Prince Of Egypt tackled a biblical story, when Disney would have never done such a thing (Btw, it's actually really good. Go watch it)

Shrek mocked the fairy tale trope Disney was known for at the time, as well as the Disney company, itself...

They've defintley lightened up, nowadays, with films like Trolls and Boss Baby, but it's very interesting to look back at their older films, and seeing how very undisney they were

Miyamoto is breathing down their necks this time, so I don't think it'll be suck completely. That said, it'll probably be mediocre.
That both reassures and concerns me.

Reassures that it won't be Minions level of "ugh" humor thanks to Nintendo wanting to keep their preferred image and dignity.

Concerns me about the plot. Miyamoto was the same guy that made the, ah, "helpful suggestions" that led Sticker Star to becoming what it did.

I guarantee the plot will be the most barren plot you can imagine. "Mario and maybe Luigi go to save the princess from Bowser." That's it.

However, if the writing's good a simple plot can still be entertaining. It probably wont be but I can dream.

If it doesn't have a Missingno. easter egg or cameo, it's automatically garbage.
Seriously, I want to a see random one sitting in a cafe with a cup of coffee in its "hands". Including cry or no cry, depends.

Don't forget to throw in some poop jokes and reference things like Starbucks and selfies to pad the runtime.

I now fully understand why everybody hates the Roller. I thought PK Freeze was bad, but this is worse.

I can't believe you forgot the obligatory Dance Party ending that all animated movies seem to require nowadays.

At least put a Missingno sign in the back of the movie somewhere.

The fact it isn't an official Pokemon yet is baffling to me.
They should've done it in Sun and Moon, for the 20th anniversary.

Or it could've been the special pokemon in LG, to tie in with the "Grand return to kanto" and all the Nostalgia ****ing.

You had opportunities, Gamefreak.

Speaking of that, what even was going on with Shrek: Extra Large? I feel like that game is like one of those mid-to-late-2000's games like Watchdogs 2, where the whole atmosphere is off-putting, and makes you feel sick-ish inside.

Oh yeah, totally: Miyamoto is a talented fellow, and I definitely have respect for his skill in game design.

However, when talking about some of went wrong in the Paper Mario franchise during the Wii U and 3DS era, Miyamoto is definitely in the conversation when it comes to who contributed to some of the poorer decisions. I particularly really like Arlo's video on the topic: Goes a lot into detail about who made what decisions regarding Mario (mostly Paper Mario, but he also talks a bit about Mario as a whole), and while Miyamoto does not at all deserve all the hate he gets nowadays, there were definitely some mistakes that were made based off of suggestions he made. Some of NSMB's problems come from his input as well.

I mean I mainly remember it because it was the finale for the tv series. :p
That and 625 actually got a name in it and it was perfectly fitting: Reuben.
