I feel like yourself and the other poster saying Eberts review is bad are missing the point.
Given that the owners of the IP are filthy rich, they could have done a better job. Indeed lots of other production companies produce kids shows that are better and they make shit tons of money on merch: Star Wars, Frozen, Toy Story, all the Marvel stuff, basically most of the Disney stuff. All the Studio Ghibli stuff (actually I don’t know how rich Ghibli are).
I’m trying hard to think of anything not Disney…
- ggm 5y agowe're mixing goals. Eewoks didnt hurt the bottom line. Nor did Jar Jar binks. Pretty well everyone I know over the age of ten thinks the idea was flawed. Oddly, nobody much cares that the cantina band is the muppet show. The music is just pure muppet. I guess we play mozart, so there's no reason the galaxy far far away decided the muppet music style was their kind of groove
- 2muchcoffeeman 5y agoI’m not sure if you are suggesting that we should or should not mix goals or if it’s a bad thing. There were certainly miss steps with some of these franchises, but they seem to be able to have their cake and eat it too.
- ggm 5y agoI'm kinda hedging. I bet the morphs made money.
- shadowgovt 5y agoSaban wasn't filthy rich in 1995... He was doing okay, but the Power Rangers movie was a gamble for his studio. He didn't bet the whole farm on it because it could have bankrupted them if it tanked on a huge budget. It did great on the budget allocated to it. Bets like that are how he became filthy rich.
