The Incredibles... Will it be a big hit or a big bomb??

[whw5]

Do you guys think the Incredibles will do well in theaters? As much as I would like to think that its going to be a mega hit, I just dont know. It looks cool but how creative is it? What do you guys think? All of the past Pixar movies have done great, lets hope this is no exception.

[SiliconAddict]

Its Pixar....Not hard to guess the outcome. :D

[FuzzyBallz]

Just get to the point. Just because Pixar ditched Disney's greedy ass doesn't mean they can't do well on their own. 100M easy.

Well, this is still a Disney release. Pixar will finish up their contract which still a few more movies on it, but will not sign a new contract with Disney.

And it's gonna rock.

[etoiles]

well, rumor has it that somebody here (wink, wink) has already seen it in a pre-screening...and that someone (wink, wink) could tell you more but would have to kill you. Now that would be messy ;)

[Fukui]

Actually thought it wouldn't be that good, but after seeing this (http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1289125&sdm=web&qtw=640&qth=400) I actually think it's pretty funny!

[glosterseagul]

never heard of it...be here in acouple of years! :(

[edesignuk]

never heard of it...be here in acouple of years! :(Sooner than that with the help of my good friend the intarweb :D ;)

if by years you meant months, then you are correct.

[whw5]

when it all boils down I am sure the movie will be great. Pixar has not let us down yet and I'm sure this will be no exception.

[Abstract]

Exactly. Pixar is 100%. :)

Lets name all the movies by Pixar that didn't look interesting to me, but ended up being quite amazing. Okay, there's Finding Nemo, and then there's ......

[MacFan26]

I'm really looking forward to it, it doesn't seem like I've seen much advertising for it, but I guess there will be more in a month or so. (comes out in nov. right?) I can't wait to see the new technical things they were able to do in this one. They've always tried to do something new in all of them (fur, water, etc.) Pixar is the best :D

[whw5]

I believe the biggest advancements were in explosions, explotions underwater, hair, hair underwater. Anything that waves under water is really hard to animate, so I think thats a big accomplishment.

[fowler.]

c'mon, like anything Pixar is going to bomb.

[FuzzyBallz]

It's got BadAssMotherF*cker in it, how can it bomb?

[whw5]

Who are you talking about?

[t300]

I did find it interesting that this is Pixar's first film with humans as the main character...Who knows...Maybe people will hate that and want non-human main characters, like their upcoming movie, Cars.

[Pismo]

Who are you talking about?
Samuel L. Jackson. Haven't you ever seen Pulp Fiction?

[FuzzyBallz]

Samuel L. Jackson. Haven't you ever seen Pulp Fiction?
Damn, at least some people are keeping up.

[BornAgainMac]

I predict 300M+ for this movie.

[t300]

Actually, I am way excited about THE INCREDIBLES game. It's going to be very cool. I mean, we all saw the preview at Paris. Hot!

As someone who's seen this from the beginning (as in the beginning of entirely computer-animated films), the journey has been incredible. Each of Pixar's movies has had a "Hah! Now we can do that!" aspect of it that most people probably aren't aware of. I took an advanced computer animation course in undergrad, and the professor showed us a bunch of short films produced by a new company called Pixar. (This was about two years before Toy Story, if memory serves me correctly.) One of them was about the funniest damn thing I have ever seen. It was a baby plodding around beating the crap out of his toys, and the tin soldier trying to run away. There's a cleaned up version of it called Tin Toy on the Pixar website.

Anyway, we looked at alot of the technical obstacles to various subjects in computer animation. Hair, for instance, is enormously difficult to animate. That was the big "Hah, now we can do that!" of Monsters, Inc. (Just compare the hair in Monsters Inc. to the hair in Toy Story.) Water scenes were the technological breakthrough of Finding Nemo, and fire (and, to some extent, hands) seem to be the "new thing" in the Incredibles. But hair is the thing that surprised/impressed me most, because it really seemed to be an impossible task.

Well, can't wait for 11/4.

What's going to be Incredible is how much money this will make. ;)

[glosterseagul]

Sooner than that with the help of my good friend the intarweb :D ;)

:rolleyes: I have now heard of both!

[Mr. Anderson]

Pixar's philosophy has always been stressing the story more than the animation. If they continue with this on the Incredibles, it will be a huge hit.

I'm guessing it will out gross all before it :D

D

[saunders45]

I can't remember where, but i read an article that Pixar scripts each scene to be completely understandable without any audio. Makes perfect sense. If you can get your point across without sound, it will only reinforce your story.

[stevehaslip]

have you seen the latest trailer? its gonna rule for sure, just like every other pixar movie that i've seen. I go in to the cinema expecting an average film and come out pleasantly surprised! finding nemo looked gorgeous!! (not the fish, the film in general) it looks pretty funny too.

[whw5]

even though we are on the subject of the incredibles, anybody got any dirt on Cars? Someone told me its 2D is that true?

[themadchemist]

I always worry that a Pixar movie will bomb because every single one has been a hit...But somehow, somehow, Pixar keeps it coming.

[zelmo]

Huge, I tell ya, a HUGE hit. Maybe $300-350 million just in box office, then all those freakin' tie-ins - toys and clothes.
I don't know what mojo Pixar is smokin' over there, but it's working. These guys print money.

Nope

This is the most information I've heard about it: http://corporate.pixar.com/news/20040128-127607.cfm Cool to see that Paul Newman will be in it :)

[fugeelama]

I'm surprised no one mentioned the fact that the trailer for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/moviearticle.php?artID=604) is supposed to debut during the release of The Incredibles...
