Soundwave said: Universal will probably buy the rights to all Nintendo IP. Nintendo likes working with them and Chris Meledandri (sp?) is on the Nintendo board of directors. Studio Ghibli and stuff isn't gonna happen. Nintendo is in the big boys club and they're going to want mass market product for the global market, Ghibli type animation doesn't have the same appeal globally (sadly). A Dreamworks Zelda movie like the last Puss in Boots? That could happen but even there I think Nintendo may choose to play it super safe and make a "standard CG" animation style. |
Especially if they decide to build on the more mature storytelling The Last Wish did. A Zelda movie won't work if it's all fun and whimsical adventure like the Mario movie, because that's not the tone of Zelda overall (except maybe Wind Waker, but that still got dark). Besides, no Illumination movie has ever had to bring in anything as horrifying as the ReDeads, Dead Hand, Ghirahim, Blizetta, or most of Majora's Mask.

I was being sarcastic. There are lots of bad movies that became huge box office hits, and there have always been. Mario is not quite bad, but... it's not good either. |
Do you know how hard it is to detect sarcasm through text?
