If you haven't heard, this is airing on Monday:



Essentially the Monstars/Teen Titans watching the original in MST3K-style. Was already planning a rewatch so this works out!

Pretty sure it airs tomorrow, Dan. As a Father's Day thing. :)

I'm sure I'll enjoy this...even if it is a thinly disguised commercial to get younger audiences who weren't around in 1996 excited for the sequel.

Sad that the hand-drawn tradigital animation in the original still beats the traditional animated bits of the new one.

Urgh! CGI Gremlins! Still cheap-lookin' tradigital animation!

What a hodgepodge of styles. That said, this’ll be one of the most freeze-framed movies ever!

Granny and Speedy are in the Matrix!



Hand-drawn animation looks a little better here, probably down to the lighting and coloring.

Kinda obvious points in that review!

Yes, Dan, the animation in the Matrix clip (wait, we're still doing Matrix pastiches? Or is it to remind and prime us for Matrix 4…ahh, Warners synergy) looks much better, I think mostly down to the shadows, which look much more "analogue" than the too clean digital shadows on the brighter, almost Flash-looking characters.

Look at the entire TRAILER, and ask yourself that question again.
At Warner, there is a thin line between "Movie" and "Feature infomercial", and this one just shaved it thinner.

Just got back from the theatres. Didn't think it was that bad. Not the best movie in the world but the family liked it and enjoyed watching it. Nice to see bugs bunny in theatres again.

To me the game was the best part. People saying it all hbo max ads full of the other movies? Huh? The cameos are just background filler like we thought. They are just watching the game.

The go into other worlds take like 10 min or less and is done. If you are going for the cameos you will be letdown. They are just that. Cameos.

Our showing was pretty full also. (alot of kids there) Family enjoyed it and i didn't think it was anywhere as bad as they said. Like the first the human only parts do slow down however.
