really bleeped up.

imagine living a life that is not your own...

having a memory that is not yours....

living in a perpetual night and not even noticing....

having aliens play god with your lives as they sought to understand what makes you human.

it was an entertaining watch.
you can say that again.

Was really disappointed because they didn't answer some questions. Like where they brought the humans from etc.

This slipped under the radar and still managed to gross 1.4 billion dolls...DC might make better animations but forget Disney have a firm grip on Box office success magic...these lot can market an average flick into a money spinning ball.

Frozen 2 was always meant to gross over a billion. And it had intense marketing and nice release date.

DC don't make animations for theatres. They are solely meant for direct-to-DVD or streaming platforms or Digital. And their production budget are far lesser than Disney's.

Besides DC animations are Adult Oriented. Also different Genre.

They don’t drop without notice, maybe because they are always direct to dvd that is why you don’t hear about them

Frozen 2 was a big letdown to me. Total waste of time and an uninspiring storyline. The songs which took majority of the movie was bleh. How it manage to make 1.4 billion remains one of the mysteries of the world. Disney sold that movie through voodoo coz I don't know what would make someone go watch that average movie at the cinema.

Lol, well WB tried to copy Disney decades ago after the success of The Lion King, but they failed woefully. That's why you see them mostly focused on direct-to-video released films.

The recently created Warner Animation Group— WAG(2013) has just 2 hits(LEGO MOVIE and LEGO Batman movie) in about six movies(theater release) and the latest was an epic disappointment— LEGO MOVIE 2.

I think WB is just sticking to what they know they do Best. The last DC animation theater release was a flop— Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Since then they've stuck to DVD/streaming.

How many studios you've seen tried Superhero Animation in Theaters? The one I can remember recently is Sony's Into The Spiderverse with such huge budget($90mn) and modest box office success. It's high risk genre or business if you ain't Disney or Universal, that's why you don't see other Studios put up much challenge to these TWO.

Although WAG is becoming more ambitious with it's future projects— Space Jam 2, Scoob! Tom and Jerry and Dr Seuss's properties.

And yes, WB do have DC themed THEME PARKS.

Even without the extraordinary fight scenes, the underlying socio cultural political theme is a banger.


Parenting is not a walk in the park.



9.8/10.

.2 deducted because I didn't see enough of the Bruce Lee character

Technically, DC competes with Marvel not Disney. And even WB (the studio that produces DC movies) can't touch Disney when it comes to animations. Disney literally built the empire they control today from animations, so go figure.

First off, how would you know it was an average movie before going to the cinema?

Now to answer your question, it obviously coasted on the success of the first movie. People have been begging for a sequel for 5 years now so the hype was through the roof when Frozen 2 was finally greenlighted. Add that to putting more focus on Elsa (a potential LGBT icon) in the trailers and I'm not surprised it turned over a pretty penny.

True that, Disney has been holding it down in animations for years now, i am just surprised how an average animation like Frozen 2 grossed 1.4b.

Summary of the story...each man to his kettle...each studio sticking to what they know best...Disney will keep reeling in billions even if they bring out an average animation.

True that. I didn't view if from that perspective coz I was still seething with rage with the below par storyline of the movie.

I think it's major success was coz of the prequel. The prequel was a massive hit and movie lovers thought it'd be just as good as its predecessor. Also, Disney has huge fanbase, loyal ones for that matter. Almost every movie they have produced are hits.

Besides there is an ongoing Harry Potter franchise— Fantastic Beasts.
