So I just looked at the cover art for the Blu-Ray, and I just gotta say, it's pretty fucking trash. Personally I don't understand how you can get paid to do this shit and it coming out looking like fanwank from Deviantart. You can't just paste a bunch of characters together on a generic background with wonky perspective and hope that people will buy it on face recognition. You have to try and make it aesthetically pleasing. Consider this, box art designers: the people who are buying this movie might not have been able to see it in theatres. The "oh you" look Judy's giving on the cover just makes the whole build-up of the first "Nick's a dick" scene boring, because it changes from "Is he or isn't he really just a misunderstood father?" to "we already know he's a shifty fox, look at him being smug- that's his whole character." It kind of fucks with the characterization a bit. Also I have numerous complaints about spoiling the Mr. Big joke on the fucking cover art, but they did that in the adverts as well. Honestly, though, it could have simply been a render of the city skyline with the title of the movie, and that would have been a better design.
How would you have made it, Sup Forums?
Oliver Collins
this wouldve been much better
Oliver Morris
A collage of every smug face Nick makes in the movie or this
Brody Nguyen
I want to be in the judy and nick wedding!
Gabriel Sullivan
My biggest problem with his one is that yoga lemming. It's not even a character, just an image made for a lululemmings joke... That's displayed proudly in the background, with the same lemming. To add to that, we've seen these characters cut and paste through the lazy online add campaign. We know it's a stock image collage and nothing organic or special made specially for the cover. It didn't even try to be good.
Luis Green
Jesus fuck man. I knew furries were crazy but you just ate the cake. Stop being so autistic over a fucking cover of a childrens movie search help please.
Cooper Collins
I'd go minimal as fuck. official logo on a classy white background with Nick's tail at the bottom right hand side with the "like nothing you've seen be-fur" tagline just above it. Possibly add a bunch of 4/5 star scores at the top because people dig that.
Jayden Taylor
>Stop being so autistic where do you think you are
Asher Lopez
Couldn't they have found one reviewer that gave them 5 stars?
Mason Watson
It's out of 4 stars, anons
Luis Baker
There is the Target exclusive edition cover. The Ultimate Collector edition also has its own cover, and the DVD has a different cover as well.
I personally prefer the DVD's cover. It's simple.
This is Target's.
Isaiah Thomas
Nobody buys regular DVDs anymore. But it's simple and to the point.
Luis Reed
>Criticism is now autism
Sebastian Sanchez
I do not like this one at all.
Luis Cooper
...
William Evans
I would've made it exactly like this. For all your valid design points, this is a movie for children. Not families, children. They want to see a bunch of cutsey characters.
You enjoy films for children. That's fine. But don't complain when suddenly these children's films don't have the aesthetic of Citizen Kane because even though you want to watch animals acting like humans and being cute and insipid, they're still not adult enough for you.
Brayden Taylor
I doubt most people have encyclopedic knowledge of what reviewer has what rating system, so it's still an odd choice. They should add a 4/4 stars somewhere below.
Matthew Nguyen
I meant four-and-5 stars, not 4-out-of-five.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, user.
Blake Foster
Well this poster is pretty good and it's still colorful and crowded enough to be appealing to children. What now?
Asher Martin
>I'm not entirely sure what you mean, user. That's good because the feeling's mutual
Jayden Stewart
Yeah man they really have to go all out to sell this incredibly popular animated movie to the last children in the first world who aren't just watching a digital version and furries who need a physical copy they can roll on their bodies while they masturbate.
Evan Gutierrez
They could go lazier. This is a poster for sale in a lot of stores.
Christian Gray
That's for proto-zootopia
Alexander Jenkins
Would've done pretty well tbqh
Dylan Johnson
Something that at least shows the characters in poses that we haven't seen before.
Henry Fisher
You will be surprised what you will get paid for.
Brody Bailey
Is that shot a meme or smth?
Jack Richardson
I think it's more of a trope than a meme
Adam Scott
What are tropes but applied memes?
Caleb Cox
They should take a page from 20th century fox; plain metallic background, single character close up, film's logo in all white. It really pops.
Blake Turner
That truly does look awful
Kayden Parker
That sort of works when you have a multi-film series because you get a character to represent each film.
Except they fucked it up with KFP2.
Jayden Garcia
>a group of gazelles lie in a circle >they can't get back up cause their horns are all locked
Sebastian Bailey
Packaging has nothing to do with art anyway
Caleb Cox
Ew, reminds me of A Bug's Life and how each cover was a single character close up variant. Pick your flavor of bland.
Jayden Lee
What will this man's next movie project be?
Mason Martin
Poor Little Pred Boy starring Clawhauser
Owen Foster
Something crap and then Moore will come along to save it
Joshua Stewart
In this medium it kind of does. MOST of us won't be playing this movie for the rest of our lives and it'll spend most of the duration of our possession on our shelves. Or in our graves where it will be buried along side us in hopes that our souls get sucked into the movie forever.
Angel Fisher
Zootopia is a pretty standard kids movie, so it gets a standard cover.
Colton Mitchell
Does anyone have that webm of Nick swishing his tail around? I need it for nefarious reasons.
Jacob Gomez
>wank to normal porn for the first time in weeks >feel immediately guilty afterwards since I just betrayed Judy Can't let this happen again lads
Gabriel Myers
This is the level of autism that we tried to avoid. Oh well...
Charles Phillips
pls stop user
Caleb Roberts
Same, user. ;;
Dylan Lopez
flash needs to be still in the midst of laying down
Camden Allen
They know what sells and this is exactly what sells. You're an embarrassing human being and you should stop caring so much about children's cartoons.
Brayden Torres
Does anyone remember the name of youtube video where someone did a review about how bad the wreck it ralph dvd cover is?
Lucas Russell
All these covers are way too busy. It's the Nick and Judy show anyway, just have them and the skyline.
Nathaniel Sanders
Am I the only one who felt the message was too forced in this movie?
Austin Rivera
not as forced as this image. I thought it was fine though.
Thomas Bell
Judy literally gives out a speech that states the message for all the kids too stupid to get it it absolutely was forced
Hunter Green
That's not a popular opinion; Judy's speech in the end had a nice mix of idealism and cynicism.
Michael Torres
They did that for the Zombie Simpsons DVDs too.
Chase Stewart
Ive seen this sentiment before on this board. Do people really think that Byron is a bad director?
Angel Robinson
I think its a good mix of there's a reason stereotypes exist, but not to be prejudiced
I think one of my favourite messages in the film is in the first half hour when Nick and Judy first meet and Nick rips the shit into her about her hopes and dreams that no one cares about in real life It cheered me up immensely
Mason Gray
people think he's 100% responsible for proto-zootopia and, well, none of his other movies are that good
Aiden Bell
He's obviously not a bad director, he's just a Disney direct who needs guidance.
Jeremiah Ortiz
>Gideon doesn't appear in any of the marketing material.
I guess they wanted to keep the best fox a surprise.
Adam Wilson
Why there are so many errors on the fat cheeta ? look at his belly and tail .
Elijah Foster
Best cover art pic related
Hunter Anderson
>first half hour when Nick and Judy first meet and Nick rips the shit into her about her hopes and dreams that no one cares about in real life
Nick was obviously wrong, though. Just because he let his dreams be crushed by a few assholes doesn't mean that having them is futile. Just look a Judy, she proved herself to be a capable police officer many times over before even meeting Nick, the difference being she didn't let her dreams get crushed by the personal biases of Bogo.
Benjamin Gray
Why is he still wearing that apron? He doesn't need it to drive and make deliveries.
Jordan Baker
Replace Mr. Big with Clawhauser and Gazelle with Bellwhether and I'll agree with you.
Jayden Price
You'd be surprised how often someone forgets they're wearing an apron. I have had accidentally stolen a few simply because I didn't realize they were still on.
Isaiah Murphy
Well that's the point of the stereotypes exist for a reason, some animals do - see the lemmings they still act like lemmings for the most part, but people aren't all copy paste(s) of their species like Judy (and later Nick himself)
Robert Richardson
It's part marketing. He looks cute in it and when people see the apron they think of their favorite gay baker fox who makes the delicious baked goods they all love.
Just look at how cute that happy little pie is.
Julian Green
>disney has enoough money to buy several small countries >they dont just becuase >you will never visit a real life Wonderland and sit on tuffits to view the daily beheadings and real life giant chess matches >you will never visit a re-creation of Inside-Out's personality theme 'islands' >You will never attend Monsters university and get that masters >You will never get to race in the wreck-it-ralph candy raceway
why even live?
Eli Morris
I have one of those for the Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie. It's just the cardboard slipcover that's like that with a normal cover underneath.
They're meant to stand out on store shelves and grab the attention of kids though I would think that would stop being effective when every movie starts doing it including fucking Anastasia apparently.
Adam Anderson
>Monsters U island >It's actually a real university you can attend That'd be great
Lucas Myers
>Kung Fu Panda 2 >Only character on the cover isn't Lord Shen
But he was the protagonist?
Daniel Perez
>movie is directed by 3 people >Rick Moore is one of them >he was part of Golden Era simpsons We should give all the credit to him instead desu.
Ayden Morales
For Fuck sake furfag die already
Chase Morales
Damn, I still have to watch KFP3 Why was Shen best protagonist
Easton Parker
You can only do so many variations of just the family sitting on the couch before every set starts looking too similar to each other. Which would be a problem with a series that has 27 seasons and is still going.
The newer designs are actually better because each one stands out with a unique design and there are enough characters to have each set use a different one. The one with Ralph is the only one that looks cheaply made.
Mason Diaz
My favorite part was when he gave his dying speech at the end saying "who's the REAL genocidal maniac? Not I... Not... I..." There wasn't a dry eye in that theater.
Sebastian Cook
It's almost traditional now for Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks/Fox/Universal/WB/Everybody who puts out a DVD/BD release for an animated film to just stick all of the major characters on the front in stock poses and call it a day.
It's not about making something worth looking at for more than ten seconds. It's about getting a kid's attention when they're dragged to the local Sam's Club and meander through the movie section. "Mom, look! It's that one movie! I forget the title, but it had a talking frog! If you don't get it for me, I'm going to cry, and then you'll be embarrassed to have kept me thinking that it would have gotten Dad to stay!" Or something like that.
Jose Perry
Haven't you figured it out yet, user? Disney puts shit covers on initial BD releases and saves the good shit for collectors' edition re-releases a few years down the road, and then the really good shit for anniversary editions even more years down.
Don't forget to buy all three, though.
Christopher Clark
>mfw this movie rekindled my desire to be a cop >mfw I have to wait 9 more months because im not old enough.
Jacob Brown
WHO FUCKING KNOWS!
David Hall
Perhaps you are correct. Region?
Kevin Hernandez
That still manages to be a better cover because we weren't bombarded by those exact characters and poses through the whole duration of the film's marketing.
Sebastian Perry
>>You will never attend Monsters university and get that masters
It's called college/university shut in motherfucker. Go to it instead of wasting your life.
Ryan Miller
Not bad, but needs supervision to be a disney director.
Outside of Disney he'd be good.
Elijah Nelson
Bolt is alright. Tangled is the best princess movie we've had since Disney went full CG.
proto-zootopia would have been good. Moore was already working on that version so character and humor would have been there.
Adrian Thompson
You will never have a case of 100% of the posters agreeing that something/someone is good.
Bentley Morris
>Tangled is the best CGI princess movie isnt there only like 2?
Adrian Hughes
>for all the kids
Kevin Diaz
Okay, I'm going to ask something that's been on my mind for awhile now:
Why exactly is this movie so frequently brought up, discussed, and just overall immensely popular online?
I really genuinely enjoyed the movie a lot and thought it was great, my question is why is it talked about so much online, more than I would expect?
Luis Flores
There was also the heartbreaking scene where Shen realizes that his kindness to the soothsayer resulted in his best friend Wolfy's death.
The flashbacks to their childhood growing up together really gave me the feels.
Aiden Taylor
I...I dont really know
It just is
Blake Garcia
Because it's the best Disney movie in decades and genuinely a great film?
Jose Flores
Then I will go ahead and say the last 15 years. Maybe even more than some of the older classics. Just didn't want to step on any toes and of course it's all personal preference.
Ryder Wright
It's taboo to have a discussion about a movie with talking animals in public, for some reason. There's alot more discussion online because people feel more comfortable talking about it there, I guess.
Hudson Thomas
Because everything that isnt zootopia or a Marvel film is crap But zootopia is indeed an instant-classic like Lion King
Landon Rodriguez
Is it, though? I don't see any more discussion of it than I do every single popular film, and I saw way more Frozen discussion on Sup Forums during the height of that film's popularity.
Also, let's get this out of the way: this movie appeals to furfags.
Jayden Turner
I think people are giving Furfags way too much credit - they probably love it sure but there's not $1billion of them, not even half that, its families and people who genuinely found it to be a really good film
Matthew White
>Also, let's get this out of the way: this movie appeals to furfags.
Sure, I doubt anyone's going to contest that. But furry fandom alone isn't going to account for the fact that Zootopia has been exploding across the internet, and how it's on the verge of toppling The Lion King's sales, to become the third-most grossing Disney animation after Frozen and Toy Story 3.
Asher Martinez
And I forgot to add, these numbers are despite a terribly lackluster marketing campaign. Who knows where it might've gotten if Disney gave it the A Film treatment?
Camden Fisher
>zootopia is indeed instant-classic like Lion King
