I don't think I watched Gnomeo and Juliet, but still I remember bits and pieces of it. Maybe I watched scenes on youtube? Maybe a review?

It's kind of more clever than I assumed it would be since it relies heavily on Elton John music set to the Romeo and Juliet story.

I'm pretty sure it's a really old thing. It's literally how a lot of musical theatre ends.

Also the ending shot where the protagonist leaps triumphantly, and freeze frame to credits, optional 'YEAH!'

I remember being annoyed at Hotel Transylvania for ending in a dance party. I do not, however, remember how I felt about Hotel Transylvania as a whole. I remember seeing it, I remember the plot (mostly), I remember several scenes, but I don't remember what opinion I had of it except "god gently caress toilet humor forever".

Also there was a meme recently about how Disney seems to have every vaguely related property involve the bad guy trying to open an interdimensional portal. (and beyond Disney counting She-Ra and a few other things)

Neat. Sweet. Petite.

Hotel Transylvania would've been better if they didn't last hour introduce the "Zing" (some kind of monster true love indicator) - how about people just like each other without it being a True Love Forever thing?

the finale should've been a stronger 'let Mavis spread her wings' and not Dracula chasing down the guy so he didn't ruin her only chance at true love.

Look, in order for there to be a new Gnome movie they have to first think of a good gnome related pun for the title. Until that happens there can be no movie.

I'm sure the studios have their top scientist researching possibilities as we speak.

The only acceptable dance party in a movie is Zootopia. They at LEAST worked up to it...sort of. It was more Gazelle was talked about and stuff and then had an impromptu concert but okay.

Also, sidenote about that, Gazelle's popstar name is the same as her species? That's like Beyonce calling herself "Human" instead of...well..Beyonce. It's kind of weird.

We're back in the 90s, guys.

Alex without a mane was really jarring at first. I forgot lion cubs don't exactly have manes.

Wasn't that like an 80s/early 90s thing?

If there's one part about Hotel Transylvania that my roommate hates, it's THIS. The movie came out right around the time his mother died and hearing Adam Sandler and his hacky writers go on about "only having ONE TRUE LOVE EVER, that's it, no more. too bad." left a REALLY bad taste in his mouth.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
Hell, Sabrina the Teenage Witch avoided that in the 90s - in the finale to the penultimate season she sacrifices her love life to save Hilda, and it's not just harvey she loses - every guy she ever fell in love with finds a reason to abandon her, in a massive parade of "Welp, your gonna die alone" - she had at least 4 true loves, although only one properly counted as a soulmate. I guess the distinction is soulmates go both ways, while you can truly love someone who doesn't necessarily feel the same way.

You have no idea. This film was being made back in 2015, and the studio making it poached most of the best animators I worked with to come to Toronto to work on it. A year later the studio was forced into receivership, locking all the employees out of the office. The entire film was then scrapped while the investors tried to get their money back or raise more to finish the film. 5 years later, they had the money and commissioned Cinesite to work on the second version.

I cannot personally give a full opinion because I have deliberately only watched about 20 mins of it (mostly waiting for the official English release, love the Geneon cast) but it's solid, if unremarkable, from what I've heard. It's very 'standard' Lupin affair, so much so it sounds like you'll have a better time if you, say, have watched less of the hundreds of TV specials and movies in the Lupin canon. Less a thief and more Indy from what I've heard. Jigen and Goemon are sidelined apparently. I've seen more positive talks in the run up to the international release, so maybe it's just the die hard fans who've consumed all of Lupin being 'it's OK'.
It's much more family friendly compared to most Lupin incarnations, which kinda disappointed me. Like, not for kids exactly, but not like Woman Called Fujiko or Mamo. Not exactly Miyazaki, still fairly 'Part 2-ish' which from the opening minutes will become very apparent. Big nostalgia drop at the beginning. Prob a PG- to PG 13 rating for violence and maybe scary situations

It's not a movie that'll set the world on fire, but it's a fine Lupin movie in shiny CG. It does what it needs to do. I liked what I saw in any case. (and have seen spoilers sadly)

It's a shame they're forcing a brief theater run during hell year, I'm real tempted to go... with the proper precautions of course. Will def be grabbing it in Dec

As someone who has seen pretty much every Lupin movie I felt it was solid. Extremely safe script that is afraid of straying from the plot beats of many Lupin movies, but the CG is so well done & adds a lot of personality to it such that there's enough charm to compensate for most of the problems I had with the writing side of things.

If they make another movie in this style I hope they try taking a few risks.

Mr. Goongala?
If the first Gnome movie is Romeo and Juliet (1590's), and the second is Sherlock Holmes (1880's), then the third must obviously lampoon a piece of 2170's British fiction.
