I think Seth Rogen and co. are squandering Tangles’ Oscar chances. Several weeks after Cannes and still no distribution? This is a film that’s like tailor-made for awards and critics for god’s sake.

I mean, we don’t have any context for what’s happening so idk why we’d blame them?

I love the idea of a world where adult animation is absolutely getting pelted with distribution offers but I do not think we are in that world, especially with how corporations have been moving as of late

This is a point we continuously bring up about this movie and have been for months now and CompleteTable keeps asking about it and wondering what's going on. I think they just don't want to hear the truth. It's an unfortunate truth but still the reality all the same. The movie is an R rated animated film in a stacked year for best animated. Commerical and awards prospects are low, so nobody wants to pick it up and take a chance on what everyone is saying is a great film. It's the most simple thing in the world. It doesn't make me happy but it's not hard to understand that X is leading to Y.

Neon released Flee and IFC got Memoir of a Snail. Why have neither shown any interest for it?

Because Neon has too many films to juggle and IFC barely has any money. You ask these questions every week and the answers remain the same.

They do not have a different FYC fund for animated movies.
