(Yes, the extra "N" was intended in the title ;D)
Well well well, this was certainly a surprise...
I never, in my lifetime,thought that there would ever be an American animated film made for adults. I mean, Japan has it's awesome anime, but I think this is more along the lines of 3D animation.Still, I am utterly awestruck! They have my attention, no doubt, but I am a little to young to visit such a film without the accompaniment of an "adult" (just because you are over 18 doesn't make you any more of an adult. But that's just my opinion). Besides, the storyline doesn't sound very engaging at this point, but again, that's just my opinion. I'm not much of an R-rated kind of girl (haha).
As thought the fact that there could be an R-rated wasn't shocking enough, the fact that they are being co-directed by two men with their roots in children's entertainment made me ask a few specific questions, and they are as follows: "This is such a big leap from age groups. How on Earth will they manage?" and "how will this decision effect the shows that they have already worked on?"
Personally, I think the plot for the movie is a little... well... less than impressive... It sounds like any other generic child's movie with maybe a little extra zest to it (if zest can even really be used to describe it). I suppose I can imagine how a tiny bit of gore could be tossed in for good measure, but other than that and foul language, how can a movie with such an innocent plot line be R-rated? This is definitely something I will have to see to believe (well, I'm sure I'll read the reviews shortly after it is released to theaters).
Part of me really wants his movie to succeed. It could pave the way for future (hopefully better) features with engaging stories that could even rival that of anime (I hope so at least). The other part(s) of me really don't care. It sounds like another bad movie (not relative to rating). It's not like this will completely extinguish the hope for an adult movie, but it might discourage to an extent. Who knows though? Discouragement often ignites a spark that can lead to a massive fire (mostly because of the tenacity and rebelliousness of the human race).
But hey, that's just my opinion :P What do you all think? I am attempting to engage my (probably nonexistent) readers. Engaging fail haha
