The Oogieloves in The Big Balloon Adventure

[Nabber]

Oh god... who came up with the idea for this sick, twisted movie?

 

[Pyro]

"thomas the tank engine"

suddenly i care

"get out of your seats and join us kids"

then i don't

 

[Dr. Javelin]

The only thing that could make this worse is the addition of Barney.

 

[Nabber]

The only thing that could make this worse is the addition of Barney.

Why are you jinxing this
They could end up adding every horrible kids character. Ever.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

Hopefully they would leave out good characters, like... ah... er... hm.

 

[RandomGuy]

What the hell has happened

 

[Time Turner]

Oh no, a movie for little kids! Run for your life!

Seriously, what is wrong with you guys?

 

[RandomGuy]

The funniest part of the trailer is where the parents are waving the babies

 

[Nabber]

Oh no, a movie for little kids! Run for your life!

Seriously, what is wrong with you guys?

Did you even watch the trailer?

It's bad even for a kids movie.

 

[RandomGuy]

The movie is supposedly to encourage children and parents dancing and singing.
Why?
Because it's an interactive movie

 

[Vera Misham]

I watched the trailer for 10 seconds then stopped. What did I miss?

 

[Nabber]

A character that enjoys pulling down his pants.

A lot.

Oh no, a movie for little kids! Run for your life!

Seriously, what is wrong with you guys?

im kind of inclined to agree. i mean, none of us are a part of the demographic this is directed at, so there's no reason to expect it to look good

the trailer is weird though. among the actual target audience, how many people really give a fuck that it's "from the marketing visionary who introduced us to teletubbies"?

 

[Dr. Javelin]

hey, i wasn't actually horrified

although adding barney would be worse because adding barney to anything makes it worse

unless you make him a kill-able enemy in which case it makes anything more awesome

 

[Nabber]

okay bit of a bump here but

In its debut weekend, Oogieloves proved to be the biggest box office bomb of all time for films released in at least 2,000 theaters. Its production budget was $20 million, in addition to another $40 million in marketing costs.[1] On August 29, 2012, the film opened at #17 at the box office to $102,564 in 2,160 theaters, with a per-theater average of only $47.

 

[2257]

wow, that's actually pretty amazing

i guess the marketing visionary who introduced us to teletubbies wasn't so visionary after all

 

[RandomGuy]

Because he has terrible taste in his design

 

[banjonator1]

"from the marketing visionary who introduced us to teletubbies"?
