Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri is based
Are we entenring the era of cartoons not giving a fuck about social media anymore?
>it's impossible to please everyone
>that's why all my movies are shit
See above.
I hope so. Studios are thinking twice about listening to woketards after what happened to Disney.
Based and redpilled. Is there anything else left to say?
But Illumination films are the safest shit
>after what happened to Disney
Literally what.
I love these two being back-to-back. Goes to show how astonishingly little the "rEdPiLlEd" perspective is worth.
Feels like a direct call out to Lightyear, am I thinking too deep about this? The whole reason the kiss was re-added back into the movie was because of the reaction towards the "don't say gay" bill and disney's involvement to it.
>praising more minion shit to own the libs
Has Any Forums sunken this low?
Based Illumination
Illumination films are still edgier than Lightyear.
I have never hated illumination as much as everyone else and I appreciate Meledandri just makes films for families to have a good time. Disney and Pixar gave gotten so pretentious and most of their films nowadays are worse than any of Universal's output.
Don't ever let freaks on Twitter and shit tell you how to make your art. It'll make you miserable and penniless. Based man.
Only the ones who still think the "libs" are the ones they're "owning."
I appreciate the message expressed and it's very important for the creative process, but aren't Illumination movies made to pander to the lowest common denominator in the first place?
In the same way you can like the work and dislike who makes it, you can admit the man has a point even if minion ads make you want to throw your TV.
And Disney movies aren't?
Illumination is literally some of the blandest milquetoast shit ever put on screen.
This doesn't feel like a geniune philosophy of the company but rather the CEO seeing an opportunity to salt the wound of a competitor that is currently tanking.
This fucker doesn't give a shit about art. I'd hardly call anything he produced art at all. He just wanting to join in on the Disney pummeling.
>treating the minions guy like an illustrious pioneer
Any Forums has hit rock bottom, and now it hits rock bottomer
Yes. Now look at everyone calling them "bAsEd aNd rEdPiLlEd" in this very thread and laugh.
>the man has a point
The same point made by every milquetoast fence-sitter after they accidentally flirt with fascism, before it stops being an accident.
>flood social media with shit like minions and sing
>social media is retarded
>refuses to elaborate
>leaves
>Meledandri questioned the roll
>roll
Come on
the Lehman Brothers joke in the first Despicable Me proves he's left wing, but it does figure that a lot of the Illumination team he directly works with are French. Their culture is very different in terms of rejection of puritanism and valuing free expression than Twitter outrage farmers
Sing 2 >>>>> Lightyear, Turning Red, Encanto and Raya combined
Change my mind, Disney cocksuckers.
>aren't Illumination movies made to pander to the lowest common denominator in the first place?
As much as I find their movies boring, I feel you're being reductive. They pander specifically to traditional families, which is offensive to certain online enclaves.
They do pay a price for it. When Sing 2 was beating Encanto at theaters, online media was not writing about that at all. Instead they were pushing stories about Encanto's music charting. It was pretty weird to see.
It's starting to hurt their bottom line, I can see why investors would be upset
Kids do like their banana tic tacs with eyes artistic integrity be dammed
