Say what you want about Illumination’s animated films, but their marketing campaigns for their films are so on point.

They are animated quite well and have a certain standard of comfortable mediocrity. You'll have a good time, but nothing outstanding. Are there any ones that are outright BAD? Can't really think of any.
Luis Allen
they're just mediocre.
Asher Price
don't know if if spoiling your own movie through a marketing campaign is 'on point', but okay.
Asher Reyes
I would say The Lorax toes the line between "dumb mediocrity" and "bad"
Jeremiah Butler
Grinch had a bunch of shitty part but I honestly found it pretty comfy and had fun with it.

They found what works for them and have no interest to change or challenge anything
People often accuse corporations of being soulless and even if somehow truth you can tell Disney still has some sort of commitment to narrative and animation, illumination really feels like shareholders and marketing teams joining forces to make the biggest impact with the least effort

Sing is their best movie, and the only one that feels like it was made out of a genuine desire to be made rather than pure profit.
Fite me.

I only know recently that Benedict Cucumberpatch is voicing him.

That's half of their budget and their main angle to sell their mediocre movies to the pleb.
Nathaniel Sanders
They know how to promote a shit well enough to convince the parents pay cash for their kids.
Justin Lewis
Please advise
James Rodriguez

they just buy and copy pixar
Camden Reed
How?
Anthony Anderson
The Grinch creating an elaborate fake Smash leak was a pretty neat marketing push.
Angel Clark
Disney and Pixar should just merge into a single studio at this point.

Lorax for sure is on the bad side of things, both for its plot and how it mangled the source material. As an adaption it blows, but more importantly just as a fucking movie it blows.
It seriously ends with a car chase to plant a seed like the world is going to end or some shit.
Jace Richardson
>line up to get in the Trigger panel for the past 2 years
>couldn’t get in both times
Fuck off, Grinch.
Kayden Brooks
Couldn't get into the panels, the MHA movie premiere sold out at 3am, and there were vendors selling ACTUAL LOOT BOXES.
The good though was I got to meet cristina vee, TFS, Litttle kuriboh, mother's basement, and get some nice Outlaw Star stuff from artist alley
Levi Hall
>vendors selling actual loot boxes
You fucking kidding me?
Joshua Martin
Why would I lie about something so awful?
Aaron Wilson
Those are shit anyway, vendors just fill that shit up with stuff they can’t sell anymore/taking up UHAUL storage space.
Zachary Brown
What you see in isn't even a new thing. I can remember vendors selling them the first time I went to DragonCon 11 years ago.
Jaxson Garcia
Who gives a remote fuck about Tr*gger in 2019? They haven't made anything good since the first cour of KLK.

Please tell me you ate from those hot dog vendors.

The only thing I remember about the marketing or the movie at all is the grinch leak for smash bros

this one?
Kayden Lopez
To be perfectly honest, I'm kind of excited to see how Illumination will handle a Super Mario Bros. movie. Considering the last failure of a cinematic foray the original live action movie was, I feel like Nintendo will be breathing down their necks, so the movie will be more faithful to the source material than the live action movie was.
At the very least, the inevitable marketing campaign is going to be HUGE.
I don't hate the live action movie. Far from it; it's actually a guilty pleasure of mine to watch. Even so, it's not Oscar material in the slightest, and I acknowledge that.
Austin Gonzalez
>tfw I just go to meet certain VAs and maybe check out the vendors.
The only time I was ever worried was when the lines for one VA got extremely long (not to the point where they were out the door thankfully, but long enough to go from one end of the hall to the other), but with the Vic Mignogna drama going on I want to see how I could possibly trigger some tissue-skinned fujoshits during my possible visit this year.

>Shitting on Trigger for Frannx, when it was Studio A1 that wrote and directed that fucking trainwreck, while Trigger was only animating it.
Aiming the aggression the wrong way, folks.

Elijah Clark
I kind of liked that movie. Kid Grinch was cute as fuck
Jackson Edwards
The inferior young Grinch
Justin Diaz
It's okay when the box is specific. If they have a box of something you really like/is uncommon, it's a nice package. Random whatever is crap.
Jordan Price
It was a decent watch with realistic kid characters who didn't behave obnoxiously and a very poignant and relatable take on the ending, but the Grinch was far too sterilized in both design and behavior.
Andrew Morgan
I don't get it, can some fat otaku loser explain it to me?
Joshua Scott
Anime Expo is Comic-Con for weebs, so you need money, a stable job and financial stability to go to cons like AX.
Sebastian Fisher
What does any of that have to do with the Grinch?
Jonathan Perez
Snarky billboards were all over the place like pic related that promoted the Grinch movie last year and it became a meme, because of course.
William Morales
I still don't get it, why would these make anyone want to see the movie?
God I hate advertizers and the retards who enable them.
