I saw it in front of Peabody and Sherman and thought it was just a short.

Wasn't terrible, but wasn't world shattering either.

Dreamworks has been cool lately and haven't released an out and out bad movie in years, so I'm probably there.

 

[Stet]

She's clearly purple.

 

[.GqueB.]

Them curls better be on point.

 

[wenis]

Is that gunna be their tag line?

 

[Ferrio]

That dreamcast logo.

 

[Jacobi]

There's gonna be a scene in it where she teaches the alien how cool hip-hop is or something (and a dance scene)

 

[Goreomedy]

Voiced by Rihanna? Ugh.

 

[DJ_Lae]

The distinction between 3D and 2D here seems kind of odd, and they even point out Princess and the Frog.

You could even say A Shark Tale did it first.

 

[Surface of Me]

She looks sassy as hell.

 

[fertygo]

Sex hair?

Spoiler

lol

 

[.GqueB.]

Voiced by Rihanna? Ugh.

Who would you prefer? Or are you just a hater?

 

[gosox333]

They have to be doing those fucking faces on purpose now. They HAVE to know at this point.

 

[LQX]

Voiced by Rihanna? Ugh.

Rihanna has a great voice.

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

Christ people just read my later post.

Ellen page

... it's a 3D animation ... couldn't they make multiple versions on the movie with different coloured skin?

... nevermind that's a can of worms I don't want to see opened.

Yet... you still opened it ...

I'd be surprised if they weren't trolling now

 

[haikira]

Who would you prefer?

An actress.

Lol @ this sillyness

An actress.

She was in a movie, no?

 

[Dommo]

Who would you prefer? Or are you just a hater?

An actual professional actress? Preferably a professional voice actress?

 

[Leunam]

Who would you prefer? Or are you just a hater?

A voice actor. But with DreamWorks it's usually a big name on the credits I guess.

... it's a 3D animation ... couldn't they make multiple versions on the movie with different coloured skin?

... nevermind that's a can of worms I don't want to see opened.

Why would you need multiple versions? Why is this even a question?

 

[Goreomedy]

Who would you prefer? Or are you just a hater?

Quvenzhane Wallis, actually.

As for the hater comment.... ::backs away slowly::

 

[Futureman]

Purple thing is offensive character design-wise to me.

 

[Dead Prince]

looks like something Nickelodeon would make for kids to watch in the morning.

 

[Divvy]

This just opens up the "is Grimace black?" debate again

They have to be doing those fucking faces on purpose now. They HAVE to know at this point.

It's just the standard asymmetrical face used by like every animated thing ever.

 

[Odoul]

... it's a 3D animation ... couldn't they make multiple versions on the movie with different coloured skin?

... nevermind that's a can of worms I don't want to see opened.

Yeah. Like every other CG animated movie.

What kind of question is this?

 

[Futureman]

This just opens up the "is Grimace black?" debate again

I actually thought, "What gender is Grimace?" while reading the "What gender is Kirby?" topic.

 

[sn00zer]

Voiced by Rihanna? Ugh.

I...uh...wow..... So C-tier Dreamworks movie it is...
I HATE that Dreamworks has a tendency to get famous actors/artists before they get good voice actors..... 'Rise of the Guardians' is one of the few movies that did celebrity voice acting right

... Um, what?

 

[CountAntonius]

The lil dude should be voiced by Cee Lo.

On the one hand, the Rasta Jellyfish from Shark Tale totally nailed it. Ziggy Marley and Sean Paul aren't voice actors by trade but did a brilliant job.

On the other hand, their characters were not main characters. Having this much faith in Rihanna as a main star, having little to no voice acting experience is a massive risk in my opinion.

 

[Goreomedy]

That would be awesome, yeah.

But the article says they cast Jim Parsons.

 

[Bloodrage]

I like her hair. Confirms she's mixed, not black.

 

[MrBadger]

She kind of looks like a black Lotta Hart

 

[DrFunk]

holy lord at this post

 

[Grakl]

Now I can't unsee it!

This is like, one of the weirdest posts I've read on here

Dreamworks Animation 2014: Smirks and Celebrity Voice Actors 2

 

[levious]

Good hair huh?

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

I like her hair. Confirms she's mixed, not black.

*facepalms* I just can't...

 

[Dan]

How do you not get Quvenzhané Wallis for this?

Rihanna sounds like a terrible choice to voice a young girl.

 

[ISOM]

I like her hair. Confirms she's mixed, not black.

Wrong. And I am assuming you are being stupid on purpose.

 

[Spinluck]

Voiced by Rihanna? Ugh.

I like Pixar's approach to voice actors much better.

Dreamworks seems to always be who's big and hot at the time. They've made some good casting choices before, but come on.

 

[X05]

Kung Fu Panda did it first.

Spoiler

I'm kinda joking, don't kill me

 

[JordanN]

Pixar to counter by having the first gay atheist character.

But props to Dreamworks for having the balls to do this.

 

[Trago]

I like her hair. Confirms she's mixed, not black.

U wot M8?

 

[Jarrod38]

With Donald Sterling as the antagonist.

 

[kess]

Remember this shit

 

[.GqueB.]

Quvenzhane Wallis, actually.

As for the hater comment.... ::backs away slowly::

She's too young. The girl in the banner is at least 13 or so and I just watched an interview with Quvenzhane Wallis and it would sound completely out of place.

You're just a hater.
