Kind of funny how Sonic managed to snake through before the pandemic and is now likely going to be the top kids movie of the year by default.

Onward is this year's Good Dinosaur, Soul is this year's Inside Out.

>Somewhat bland character design; everything save for the manticore and the goblins are just pastel colored humans or mutants.
>"Tried but true" heroes' journey bullshit that we've seen in numerous kids movies.
>Leading actors work well together but neither are particularly interesting.
>Chris Pratt is hamming it up something fierce as a Jack Black facsimile that's 15 years too late.
>Tom Holland continues to secure his type casting as that nebbish and quirky go to late teen twerp.
>The two most prominent supporting characters are more interesting than the leads.
>Had the misfortune of coming out right before the Kung Flu fucked over the global box office.
It certainly wasn't destined to pull Toy Story money, but the Coronavirus fucked it royally. It made 40 million its opening weekend. By comparison, The Good Dinosaur made only 15 million more, but was released during the Thanksgiving 5 day weekend. Granted it had actual competition in the likes of Hunger Games, Creed, and The Peanuts movie. Kind of hope things die down before June, I'd like to see Soul do well.

Soul won’t do much better money-wise, but reddit critics are going to eat it up and it will win all the “best animated feature” awards.
Bentley Torres
well until Spongebob gets released. It'll be late May and the worst should be over by then.

Who are the supporting characters

They've gotten stale lately. I'm no longer impressed by their work. At this point, you need more than stunning CGI and emotions to stand out.

Bro listen up, Pixar has never truly been that great, it's that revolutionary concept of CGI animated films what has carried them for decades now. However CGI animation has very much peaked. There's nothing else cartoony CGI can do. It can do stylized and ugly humans as well as animals and anthros and aliens. It's all said and done. The only thing that matters now is good concepts and writing and sadly Pixar has never been that great at doing concepts for stories. I think most of Pixar's movies aren't worth watching.
And now that every other studio can do their own CGI that's comparable to Pixar? Doesn't matter anymore what Pixar makes. What matters is good concepts....which frankly is a HUGE problem. It's not just Pixar delivering disappointing stories for movies, but the other studios are probably worse. I see no merit and Western Animation is FUCKED.
What good is the medium if the concepts are no good? Seriously answer that.
