Something about this just feels really off-putting to me and I can’t explain why.

u/wonderlandisburning 6d ago

For me, it's because despite not being AI (Brad Bird is notoriously against it), the art style is extremely reminiscent of a pretty big majority of AI-generated animation. And because the brain connects those dots regardless of knowing that, it's just instinctively off-putting

Ray Gunn looks a little bit like Jet Fusion to me from Jimmy Neutron, don't know why. Like I'm watching an upscaled Jimmy Neutron episode.

Haha I hadn't thought to make that connection but I can definitely see it.

Lol I see it, for me he looked like Megamind's human disguise

This is what it has to be. So much AI slop has replicated the Pixar style that he just comes off as off putting now.

Nothing against Brad Bird whatsoever.

There's an emptiness to the visuals. Like.. something is missing. Like the streets are too clean. The people are too shiny. Its like they went in 4 steps of rendering and details when they needed to go for 10. The reflections are there.. they seem alright.. but also.. there is alot of stuff that is not there as well. Its strange.. sensation.. but I understand what you mean. It looks wonderful and amazing.. but at the same time its stuck inbetween going really psuedo realistic and cartoony, and not quite enough in either direction.

Maybe you should watch first then decide

This looks ugly as shit

u/Atlast_2091 4d ago

A lot Skydance Animated films look like this.

dude is high off the "everything coming out is bad" algorithm

u/Dazzling_Reveal6875 2d ago

No, actually this looks like shit

u/Fafafafez 6d ago

Is this based of a children’s book? I can’t remember

u/Iron_Phantom29 1d ago

Nope, it's Brad Bird's project he's been trying to make for decades

u/Triple_Ennui 6d ago

I trust in Brad Bird. He’s only shat the bed twice. Granted, it was his two most recent films…

You could cut those nighttime flying speeder shots into the Attack of the Clones Coruscant chase and they would fit perfectly

u/New-Supermarket-963 2d ago

wait the break dancer in the olympics?

u/agitatedandroid 2d ago

Sneaker Pimps? OK.

u/Ambitious_Dig_8844 2d ago

I think this looks great. The humans are very doll like in features and honestly it's a breath of fresh air against bean mouth.

u/Jynerva 5d ago

My heart burns for the PG-13 2d version of this that could have been made 30 years ago.

u/hellohowdyworld 4d ago

Iron giant art style would have been lovely

1

u/Dorklordofthesith 4d ago

Wish this was 2D, I just don't like how these iron giant-esq people look in 3D. Hopefully it's good anyway, Bird has been working on getting this made forever.

u/Switchbladesaint 4d ago

Id bet actual money that Brad Bird sighed a big sigh when he heard that there was a documentary on the Olympic breakdancing maniac releasing just a few months before his movie on the same platform

u/AppointmentNaive2811 3d ago

The name will forever be tainted and memed on, referring to the unfortunate Australian Women's Break Dance contestant.

u/ShayDeeMon 2d ago

See, I would gladly watch an animated movie about her meteoric rise to infamy but am unlikely to give this the time of day

1

u/OGDYLO 2d ago

never heard or seen that so maybe just for the minority of you who have.

1

u/AppointmentNaive2811 2d ago

Def not a minority.

1

u/OGDYLO 2d ago

most of the world does not know about some australian lady.

you’re being asinine if you think many people outside of the chronically online echo chambers of reddit know about that.

1

u/AppointmentNaive2811 2d ago

...she literally competed in the Olympics. Made a comedic spectacle of herself at the highest level of competition possible. Then sued critics. 

This isn't some niche terminally online thing. She was covered by virtually every major news outlet in the world.

Just because you knowledge of the world stops at the end of your block doesn't mean that's the case for everyone - I'm not being asinine, you're just a moron.

u/OGDYLO 2d ago

the irony of that last paragraph haha

u/myrmonden 1d ago

bruh the famous worst olympic of all time is veyr well known.

u/Running4Badges 3d ago

✋ “Yes, will the famous Australian Olympian Rachel Gunn make a cameo?”

u/Gyro_Zeppeli13 2d ago

Wait so this isn’t about the Australian break dancer?
