Ok, I get it. You really liked Storks and made valid points why you think it’s great. I get why adults would like it. I didn’t say it was a bad movie, just that it’s pretty mediocre, like a 5/10. I didn’t find it funny, the pacing was too fast, and the characters were one-note. You make the point that the characters were bland in Pets, but the voice actors did such a good job that the characters were full of personality in my opinion. But I get it, you liked Storks and a lot of people agree with you. It does have a higher audience score on RT then Pets, but Pets has a higher critic score on RT. Overall, I just didn’t care all that much for this movie but I understand why people would like it. As far as Dory goes, I did really like it, like 7/10 good. But it was still unnecessary to be made in my opinion. While I don’t fully agree with you, I respect your opinions. Nice talking to you.

And I personally liked Storks better. I felt that the characters had personality that weren’t that one note and were unique in their own way (even the side characters), the two main characters had good chemistry and decent development, the story was original, it had a better sense of humor and wasn’t afraid to go a little weird with it, and it had a good message near the end about family with something that was somewhat new added to it. Pets, while I thought it was decent it wasn’t THAT good as an animated comedy or as a film. The characters in Pets were one note and few had actual personality and what personality the others characters had was rarely shown, our two main characters rarely interact or develop as actual characters, the story was every animated predictable buddy comedy that has been seen before about two rivals that don’t get along but have to learn to get along but without any twist or turns to it that haven’t already been seen before in previous films. (except for that one turn which could have been very emotional but was handled awfully). If it was funnier as a comedy and the characters were a bit better I probably would have liked it more and forgiven it more and this is coming from someone who also owns a Dog. To me, Storks has all things I wished Pets would have had to make me like it more. A variety of good and fun characters with good interactions, chemistry, and personality that doesn’t seem that one note, consistently funny writing with a really good sense of humor that can deliver more than just chuckles and isn’t afriad to go a little strange and doesn’t go lowbrow, more originality, and a surprisingly unique message near the end that goes a little further to make their point (although I will say the ending for Pets was indeed heartwarming but not as much as Storks). Like I said, I thought it was at best decent and if you like it more power to you but I prefer Storks way more in terms of comedy and characters.

Also, not be rude and I mean this is a nice way, but in terms of you saying Storks is a kids film you know you don’t speak for any older people who enjoyed it right? Just like I don’t speak for everyone when I say Pets is a lesser family film compared to others. There is an audience besides kids that enjoyed the film particularly from a comedy standpoint. I’ve seen video reviews from them, written reviews from them, I even was in the theater laughing with them. If Pets is more of a family film and you claim Storks is a kids film that adults can not get any enjoyment out of why is it that more people at my theater (particularly adults) were laughing at Storks more than Pets (I watched Storks the same time I watched Pets mind you). Why is it that the multiple video reviews I watched from people on the film, the same people who are in an older audience and some who have reviewed Pets previously I might remind you , gave Storks a better rating or just a good review in general (As a matter of fact I could post two sets a videos from two reviewers who reviewed both Pets and Storks so you could see the comparison)? Why is that, from an audience standpoint, who I am pretty sure aren’t kids, Storks is currently getting the higher ratings than Pets did and holding it pretty well? You want to know why? Because Storks, like Pets, is a family film not a kids film it just seems to be the better family film from an audience perspective and personally the better family film from my perspective. If it where a kids film there wouldn’t be that many older people enjoying which, as someone who has been around the web and was in a theater with a lot of people, I can tell you, there were was a majority of adults who enjoyed and were laughing throughout the film. There is a difference between a kids film and a family film or a film that anyone can enjoy. Your not exactly a kids film if adults are enjoying you as well but not for the same reason a kid is. Neither Storks or Pets are kids films because they both have appeal towards adults. They are both family films it’s just that from what I have seen audience wise one is being more preferred than the other. And that is where I am personally going to end this particular discussion seeing as how I don’t want to keep going back and forth.

As for Finding Dory, the fact that the film was unnecessary or that it didn’t need to be made doesn’t diminish the quality of the film at all or determine it’s quality when it was announced . There are a lot great films out there that didn’t have to be made, were made, and ended up being the fantastic movies we know them for today.

Or Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

I’m sorry that I went off on you a little. I’m replying to you so late because this isn’t the main website that I comment on, that would be TRS. Look, you liked Storks more than I did. I personally prefer Pets because the characters had more personality, the jokes were funnier, the animation was a lot more detailed, and the pacing wasn’t as fast. You can argue that Pets isn’t as good because the story is basically Toy Story while Stork’s story is more original. I own a cat, so Pets appealed to me more than Storks. I just find Storks to be a kids movie. There isn’t much stuff that adults can enjoy, apart form Nate’s story. It’s just ok in my opinion. As far as Finding Dory goes, it was a very good movie, but like Monsters University, it wasn’t necessary to be made in the first place.

They have a real Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs look to them. But I’m guessing the same designers were involved.

Alright then, but It still puzzles me why Storks is lower than Pets. At best they should both be at the same level. For me, I think Storks should be higher for certain reasons than Pets or at least be on the same level. And yes, while Storks may have gone down on the audience side of RT it did earlier today have a 76% only to go down one percent only to go down another percent. However at this time it still is holding it’s percent in the 70’s quite well and quite longer than Pets did and it’s critic score recently went up by one percent right now. But, as for the best animated film of the year, while I did think Zootopia was great I’m leaning more towards Finding Dory as the best.

Your opinion is your opinion, whatever. Obviously, I liked Pets more than most people. Looking at the stats though, the critics agree with me more. Pets has a 74% on RT and a 61 on Metacritic. Storks has a 63% on RT and a 55 on Metacritic. Storks does have a 75% audience score, but it was at 79% Friday morning, which means the score is dropping down. Angry Birds was horrible in my opinion. It had bright colors but that was it. If you loved Storks, that’s fine. I loved Pets and thought Storks was ok. Not bad, but not good. Although among all of them this year, Zootopia was the best.

I disagree. The animation for Storks was nowhere near mediocre. It was fast paced, had a high energy, and was fun but still smooth. It felt very reminiscent of the energy of the Warner Brothers shorts but they knew exactly when to use the more cartoon movements and when to treat as a movie so that it wouldn’t feel like they were emphasizing the cartoon. It is just a joy to watch especially with characters like the Wolves. The backgrounds were beautiful as well in some shots. And yes, while the characters aren’t that interesting they are still likable, charming, and fun characters with some personality and do deliver some funny lines. The improv-style of humor I felt worked really well and it did bring something new to an animated film I haven’t seen before. It felt more natural and loose and not THAT scripted. And, In terms of comedy, it is the funniest animated film I’ve seen this year. With a fast pace, a good blend of witty dialogue from the actors, and hilarious visual and physical gags heavily inspired by Looney Tunes I was chuckling and laughing aloud multiple times more than I have with any other animated comedies of the year. The well written humor is what truly holds this film up along with the heartwarming ending as well that goes a little bit above and beyond. Also, I’m not sure if you have noticed, but there ARE adults who did enjoy this film and found it to be very funny as much as a kid would. I have been around the web and I have seen people Whether it be common moviegoers or movie reviewers there were people who did enjoy the film a lot more than other animated comedies of the year and some were surprised by it. Yeah, they didn’t say it was great and it did have it’s flaws but they still enjoyed it nonetheless. Heck, audience wise the movie currently has a 75% on Rotten Tomatoes on it’s audience score and currently a 7.4/10 on IMDb. I pretty sure those ratings do not come from the kids. As a matter of fact those ratings are a lot higher than the ratings of something like The Secret Life of Pets or The Angry Birds Movie, both which are films I fairly enjoyed but not nearly enough as Storks due to the fact that I didn’t find them THAT humorous.

This is also almost a direct copy of max keeples big move.

That’s so terrible. I saw the trailer and they showed the entire movie in 2.5 minutes, so unfunny and cliched. To be honest, I also don’t have any faith that Trolls will be good. Looks like Moana will be the last great animated film of the year. Sing… not to sure.
