Well.. She looks like she could pass as Rihanna's little sister so... Plus Measley is basically arguing we need more Lupita's than Rihanna's because Rihanna types aren't the real black. I'd say he's following and comprehending the thread just fine lol.

I can't speak for Measley but I don't see anyone saying that people that look like Rihanna "aren't the real black".That assertion sounds like a strawman. I think the point is that black women have a variety of appearances yet hollywood (with exceptions) continuously promotes the ones with light skinned and eurocentric features at the exclusion of ones that would have features most black women would have.

It's fair to say that the only way a girl can have those set of features shown by the character in the OP is to be a child of pretty equal white European and black African heritage.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[JDSN]

It aint easy be black....no seriously, what does it takes to be black to the eyes of Measley?

Yo Measley wouldn't get picked for the black team in the Racial Draft, boy hates on sisters like nothing I've ever seen.

Wesley dark skin, no product or styling of ones hair and must have spent at least 1 week in Africa surviving off the land.

I hate to throw gasoline on this dumbass fire.

But Jennifer Lopez is voicing the main character's mom. So there is a decent chance (Jesus Christ), that she will at least be hinted to be mixed.

Don't take this to mean I agree with the two main jokers in this thread. They're either trolling their asses off or incredibly uninformed.

I think Captainpat pointed out that the girl in the original book was biracial. So it all makes sense now.

 

[Measley]

double post.

 

[Pizza Luigi]

This looks terrible.

 

[bishoptl]

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

Gonna take my time with this thread.

So you're a confused mixed person, not surprised.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

She looks black to me.

When you say "only" you're pretty much invalidating my entire diverse african heritage.

Thank you for that.

That's a real shame. The more natural-looking hair did look a lot better than the bun they stuck her in throughout the movie.

I wonder what led to that decision. Might be worth looking into a bit more.

You're banned already but let me say that you don't know how genetics work.

Mixed or not, I think it's safe to say you're dumb as shit. Have fun in Bannesville

So she is mix after all?

Anyways my only complaint is the design of the monster, looks like a lazy monster design you see on low budget animated shows on TV.

 

[block tower]

please dont be a stealth Tyler Perry kids film. nice to see DreamWorks changing it up a bit though.

Wait what? What does this have to do with Tyler Perry? How would this in any way be similar to his garbage movies?

 

[Odoul]

And it's frickin delayed.

Not all bad though.

Madagascar was the definition of average...but the Penguins of Madagascar show was pretty freaking funny.

I wonder if it's being handled by the movie or television team.

Dreamworks animation is kind of in a tustle right now. It sad that Rise failed at the box office, I liked it as a franchise and it forced them to rework Me and My Shadow into.....something......

yikes.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

the purple thing was annoying the shit out of me, then i realized...it's sheldon.

The heck is a Sheldon? All I care about is that it seems like cool reimagining of Smekday.

[Jackson]

The voice of the alien is Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

Kudos to them for making the lead character black, but this movie looks terrible.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

That's uhh, quite a bump there.

But yeah, I'm really afraid of this movie tanking and sinking Dreamworks Animation down with it :/

 

[zeemumu]

...eh...it won't kill Dreamworks because they've lived through a lot worse, but it doesn't look that entertaining. It actually reminds me a bit of Chicken Little, in a bad way.

 

[Toxi]

That alien design is... Yeah.

I did like the Almost Home short.

EDIT: oh my god that Sheldon voice is nails on chalkboard

 

[evanmisha]

From the creators of The Croods

Yeah that purple thing...holy fuck it's so annoying. Like, no personality at all. And the fact that they seem to be centering around that little purple shit is going to strike me as disaster waiting..

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

The commercials they are playing in TV were really painful to watch. This sadly feels like another Mars Needs Moms, both panned critically and a possible movie bomb. Doesn't help that the budget was $132 million, I just can't see it returning that and that's before the advertisement costs come in. I hope I'm wrong and eat crow, but I'm doubtful.

 

[overcast]

This movie looks shitttty.

I think it'll be #1 for that weekend of 40-50 mil$ mostly due to the lack of competition and it's a kids movie so parents will just dump the kids and then a steep drop off the following week due to Furious 7 coming out.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I hated this movie from the first second I heard Sheldon alien speak. What were they thinking?

 

[JDSN]

Jesus, the director just told him "Be Sheldon" and said fuck it.

 

[Someglan]

Movie looks fine. Trailer kinda silly, but I never trust trailers.

 

[Floridian]

For those judging trailers, remember Paddington.

 

[brian577]

For those judging trailers, remember Paddington.

Paddington wasn't voiced by Jim Parsons.

 

[AusRoachman]

Watched this today and actually liked it, the alien is annoying but thats the point. Also has some sadder moments.

Hard to rate it, obviously better then there previous movies (peabody and sherman) and I can see it bringing in some good numbers.

 

[Komo]

Did this film even get any marketing? Only heard about it today

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Hard pass on Parsons and Rihanna.

 

[Christopher]

She's a cute design for sure - the trailer looks pretty shit though.

 

[dbztrk]

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

Apparently in the book, the girl is mixed as a poster noted. However, a twist out could achieve this look.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

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

Is this a real debate??

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

No its real bad. Sorry guts.

 

[GrizzNKev]

the main character is sheldon spouting cat memes
