Hat Tip: Geek Tyrant
Viewing the trailer for the upcoming Master Jiang and the Six Kingdoms (scroll down to bottom of post to view) makes me wonder why American film companies can't come up with something that looks this interesting.
Personally, there have been few (if any) movies produced by Hollywood recently that have interested me enough to go through the effort of actually seeing them in a theater. Certainly nothing that interested me enough to spend $10 or more to see.
Everything produced be Hollywood today seems to be produced by rote. The American film industry seems to be content with just going through the motions, with little attempt to produce anything requiring actual creativity.
The last Hollywood produced animated film I watched was Frozen, and that one I waited until it was released on cable to watch.
I found myself predicting the plot in advance. It's not a very creative film when you know what is going to happen 30 minutes in advance. (Oh, look. That must be the villain. Oh, and the Prince is going to betray the Princess.)
It's a movie produced by formula.
I don't think you can say the same thing about the Chinese film.
I thought I'd update this post to include the trailer for Disney's new animated film: Big Hero 6
My immediate response "predictable".
Teen discovers danger and authorities refuse to believe him, so he rounds up his friends to deal with it himself. That's the plot to The Blob.
Which is what the blow-up robot resembles.
And they have to use the predictable "leak" jokes for the robot. That looks like the old animate joke where a character gets shot repeatedly then drinks a lot of water.
This is what passes for creativity in modern Hollywood.
