In theory, this kind of movie with few advantages, weak plot, and facial makeup should be the standard for a bad movie! But the film is selling at the box office, nearly one billion US dollars worldwide. More importantly, the film’s reputation is very good. The sequel and the rumors are highly anticipated. This is where Hollywood has done the most successfully. No advantage at all. Let it go, and will definitely take this advantage to the extreme.
The "Despicable Me" series is a good example. Originally, the first part was about the story of the best villain being infected by Lori's family and getting back to the right. There is still some content. It's just that I think if there are no such cute minions who are unexpectedly popular, I think that animation will soon be forgotten, not to mention there will be a sequel. But because the minions are popular, there will be a sequel, and the minions’ selling points must be more prominent. In this sequel, the relationship between the partners and the contradictions between the father and daughter are thin, clichéd, and not in-depth at all, let alone the weak villain. If there is no element of the minions, just based on this story, if the production company dared to shoot, then it would really be either too rich to have money to spend, or to have a mental problem. This means that the appearance of the sequel is entirely to provide a platform for Xiaohuang people to continue to sell cute. As for other things, as long as it is not too weird, it can reach the middle of Hollywood, even the middle and lower level. It’s just that I think the production company knows that it will make a profit.
Since the minions are so profitable by selling cuteness, fortunately, I will make another film to make them specialize in cuteness, so the rumored plan is there. It's just that I still hope that the production company can put some effort into the plot, otherwise, if it really depends on selling cuteness, sooner or later the audience will be aesthetically tired, and a good animation image will be ruined.
