This is the next film from the animation studio (Illumination Entertainment) that made Despicable Me.
It stars Russel Brand as some dude who runs over the easter bunny with his car, and then becomes the easter bunny. I like Chris Meladandri and Despicable Me, so I am excited for a trailer/image/poster.
My expectations for the film are so-so since it sounds a lot like Disneyâs Santa Clause movies, but Iâm sure it will be more than original.
Wow, that sounds a bit too familiar. I didnât even know it existed until now, I thought the next one was The Lorax. Well, Iâm not too excited, but Iâll probably check it out since DM wasnât half bad.
So now theyâre BLATANTLY copying other movies? Not only does it seem bland, especially with Illuminationâs animation style, but come on; itâs the Santa Clause but with Easter. Not excited at all for this one.
I may have gotten the premise a little wrong, but I read the other premise on an offical press release info thing. Sorry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hop_(2011_movie
This honestly makes the movie sound a little better, and a LOT more original.
This one could be interesting⊠but I definitely need to read more info about or see a trailer before I make any judgements.
And yeah ellie-jessie-eve, this does sound similar to Tim Allenâs The Santa Clause.
The choice of âClauseâ instead of the traditional âClausâ is a pun and refers to a clause like in a contract, because the âSanta Clauseâ in fine print on Santaâs bussiness forces Scott Calvin to become Santa after he accidentaly kills him.
So, itâs from the director of Alvin & The Chipmunks and itâs a combination of live action/animation? Great. 2 things I donât like. Iâm not having very high hopes from this information.
It looks like the Minions have become the âLuxo Jrâ mascot for Illumination Entertainment.
Eh, Iâm kinda ambivalent towards it. I mean, that is some really good photorealism and digital composite of live-action and animation right there, and it would look good as a TV commercial for drum sets or something. XD
So yeah, itâs a teaser. Itâs supposed to tease, though I have to say that it reveals absolutely nothing of the plot whatsoever. Reading the synopsis, it sounds a bit like The Tooth Fairy or Santa Clause. But hey, maybe they can make it entertaining despite the story being done before.
If thereâs any consolation, they picked one of my favourite songs. Great music choice, Universal Pictures.
A ânoâ vote here, based on the assumption that itâs the âCGI starâ type of movie. But if there are clear divisions between the live-action and animated worlds, maybe it will be worth a look. It looks like Illumination might have been hedging on the type of feature it wants to produce in future. All-CG would be preferable, IMO.
I donât really have much of an opinion on this at all really.
The trailer was poorly executed though. Pretty dull really. I can get what they were going for, weâre supposed to think âOooh, a rabbit playing the drums, how strange what is this about? -waits in anticipation/looks for more-â but⊠um no. I think in general, if you want ârandomnessâ to grab attention youâd have to be a bit more impressive than that. Itâs a marketing strategy that is used pretty often and can work but they didnât pull it off well here.

What kind of world is this!
