Unfortunately, we have to stick to the fact that the future of 2D animated features is only in streaming. And Klaus proves it. Maybe Hasbro and Netflix can revive MLP G4 a little bit with two more films based on FiM just like they revived Transformers G1 with the upcoming Netflix series.

That’s a reason but is it a legit reason to change animation styles for MLP and SpongeBob? You know when it first announced in the news, the fans were pissed.

Which honestly kinda saddens me… I mean, I love many CGI movies, but I really miss classic 2D animation in the vein of “Princess and the Frog,” or even the Simpsons Movie.
Let’s not try to move off the subject behind this picture because in every post WE ARE STRICTLY FORCED TO TALK ABOUT THE PICTURE AND ANYTHING RELATED TO THE PICTURE.

Truthfully, I don’t really listen to Rotten Tomatoes, because honestly many movies I enjoyed get low scores on it, and some I hate get high. There’s also been questionable accusations of the site possibly getting payed to do good reviews, and such.
In fact, Rotten Tomatoes is stupidly the reason MST3K got cancelled from Netflix… The first revival season scored very very well, sure, but Netflix ignored that, just because not enough people wrote any fan reviews on RT for the “Gauntlet” season, which doesn’t make sense to me.
So honestly, I loathe Rotten Tomatoes, and feel they aren’t a very accurate, or legit review site.
As much as I say that Mireille Soria hates 2D animation because of that and the third SpongeBob film being CGI, I am not sure if the decision of the 2021 movie to be CGI instead of ToonBoom/traditional 2D was Paramount’s decision or Hasbro’s decision.
It still deserves better though, this, next to Bayformers: The Last Knight has rotten scores on Rotten Tomatoes, ruining Hasbro’s reputation once again. And people doesn’t seem to give a shit that Hasbro has become the film industry’s laughing stock with most movies not having a fresh tomatometer score with the exception of Ouija Origin of Evil and Bumblebee.

Well, I have seen Sponge out of Water in 3D and it doesn’t look like that to me.
It gave potential for 2D animation and stereoscopic 3D to get along, (even IMDb put the Legend3D conversion credit to the MLP movie page) but Lionsgate threw it away.
Now western 2D animation has no place in theatres anymore. Either it goes to streaming or turn it into full 3DCG. The former went to The Loud House while the latter goes to MLP and SpongeBob.

To be honest one I definitely would have watched power rangers in 3D I don’t think the ponies would have been popular in 3D it might have made the characters look more like cardboard cutouts. sure it’s a shame that good time and effort that was put into the 3D version was for nothing but I doubt it would have made much of a difference
@Joshua
It still shouldn’t have underperformed, though.
I mean how is a movie successful when there’s no sequel to fix their doomed reputation (and Hasbro’s as well), even if the show lasted for nine seasons?
