And to top it off. They only used the"new" faces and bodies. I would like to see them meet an older model with soulless eyes and a still smile pointing a gun at them.
@@nicolassteckert7149 What? 🤔 Of course they could turn their Heads! I own a lot of older Playmobil Sets, and all the Figures could do that. Unless we're talking about the really, really *old*, first Playmobil Figures. I can't say much about those.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I always had the feeling tha Playmobil was more of an European thing, it was so big in Germany and the Netherlands for example
I worked in a U.K cinema when this came out and the bosses made us so prepped for this to be busy due to the Lego movie success and literally about 10 people came to see it in its about two weeks showing time

The only good things about this film: - the actors (mostly Anya Taylor-Joy) - the animation and lighting - the scene where Anya's character struggles to stand and walk after first landing in the PM world (this is unironically pretty clever)
I also liked how Spike Spencer was in this. He is most known as the classic English dub voice of Shinji Ikari in Evangelion. He voiced Shinji in all Evangelion English dubs except for the current translation of Neon Genesis Evangelion on Netflix and Blu-ray (but he did return for Amazon Studios' dubs of the Rebuild of Evangelion films and the Collector's Edition Blu-ray has both the old DVD translation and the newer Netflix translation).
As someone who actually played with playmobil as a kid this movie was completely unnecessary, I mean come on even people who grew up on this thing knows it’s completely inferior to lego and it should stay that way playmobil even tried to rip off lego land with the “playmobil fun park”
I had one of the OG farm sets as a kid (or... maybe it was the castle set, mixed with farm things? I forget. it was one of the sets where you can build and rebuild walls into buildings and stuff), it was a fun toy but definitely nowhere near as limitless-possibilites as Lego.
For me it was the while linking the real world thing which screwed it up. Playmobil is about imagination, fantasy & made up adventure, rooting it in reality with two siblings took away from the narrative & the feel of the film, rather than adding to it.
I mean im gonna be completely honest. I saw this on tv and the animation is GOLDEN. Like seriously the animation is incredibly smooth. They had an opportunity and they blew it. 5/10 just because I adored the animation. Yes just because of that.
It's a bummer that Lego Movie 2 wasn't successful and nobody really talks about it - I actually think it's really good! I wouldn't say it surpasses the original per se but it builds on it, explores new ideas and is also very funny and the songs slap!
WOAH WOAH WOAHI! Let me get this perfectly straight: You comment something that is completely unrelated to the fact this is a video about the Playmobil movie? Considering that we don't really care, it is really incredible. Yet you did not mention it at all. am VERY disappointed, dear @@AxxLAfriku
They could of totally made a plot twist like "your parents went missing lol" and each sibling meets with a parent in the playmobil without realizing it until the end
“They meet with Daniel Radcliffe it’s just such a generic plot” Me: ah yes there’s just so many movies where the main characters meet with Daniel Radcliffe
"Where the LEGO Movie was saying, 'honestly, just buy a pale full of LEGO Bricks and knock yourself out.'" That was hilarious (and true). Not gonna lie, I'm a little obsessed about LEGO. Plop me just about any Retail store and you'll inevitably find me in the LEGO aisle contemplating about which set I want to buy for about half an hour. I had a few knight Playmobil sets as a very young kid, but I never grew attached to them the same way I did LEGO.
i saw this alone at my theaters smallest screen after a shift in the concession stand and i’ve been CERTAIN i was the only person that knew it existed!! ahahah crazy bad movie but i had fun
This film got a lot of ad space on posters and the like in Europe, particularly France and Germany as Playmobil is more popular over here. Didn't stop it from doing poorly here too.
I remember my friend invited me to see the LEGO movie with him. I accepted bc hey, get to spend time with friends but I had not heard anything about it, no trailers, nothing, so my expectations were beyond pretty low. And then the movie started and immediately I was like oh shit, this is pretty good. Best movie I’ve ever walked into blind tbh.
As someone who works at a cinema, the playmobil movie was only picked by parents if every single other PG film was sold out. It was a ton of empty screens.
I was at Annecy when Playmobil premiered. We all avoided it like the plague, but I do remember seeing wonderful concept art of the movie displayed around the mall, it was heartbreaking. It's one thing wondering about artistic talent being wasted on a bad cashgrab, but seeing it with your eyes... (If you're wondering, most of the crowd at Annecy festival is composed of animators, animation students and critics, so it's not surprising people walked out the movie theatre in disgust)
"While there is a profound sense of guilt whenever I hit that realization, I also think its human to crank out something fun and easy out of necessity for tangible gratification rather than pride." Very well said my friend
It’s super weird how big budget this movie is, and how many big names are in it, yet I never saw any ads for it, no one talking about it, nothing. At first I just assumed it came out like 5 or 6 years ago, when I wasn’t as deep into the Internet, so I wouldn’t have heard about it.
I remember watching a playmobil choose your own adventure pirate movie some years ago. The story was about a brother and sister that end up in the playmobil pirate world and need to make their way home.
I honestly thought this was gonna be about a playmobil movie about pirates I remember seeing the trailer for during my childhood as a trailer on either the labyrinth or cloudy with the chance of meatballs if I remember correctly. Probably the latter. That itself brought back a strange nostalgia of the crush I had on the voodoo guy who I think spoke twice during the whole trailer. From what I remember it actually looked good and this? I can’t exactly say the same
Fun fact: Kids being isekeid into a toy world was the scrapped concept for the first Bionicle movie. In 2003. Lego knew that concept was a bad idea a decade and a half earlier.
I saw both playmobile ads a different drive-ins. The first time was between Detective Pikachu, and Shazam in May with a July date on it. The second time was Between The Addams Family (animated), and Beetlejuice in October with a coming soon on it. I was planning on seeing it at one of the drive-ins hopeful paired with something good. Both had closed for the season before it came out.
As someone going to Vancouver Film School, of which the director is an alumni, I have to admire him. Anyone who gets to the point where they get to direct their own movie, you have to respect them, even if it doesn't end up well.
The Lego movie perfectly portrayed Legos. We have the wacky build style, people, aspects of sets and series, and the feeling of lego. The movie made you want to play and build with legos. You cannot tell me you saw the double-decker couch and told yourself "I dont want to play with Legos." The style of movie captured our attention and reminded us how we could make anything with Legos. that our imagination is key. As for the Playmobil movie... Well, from what I hear/see its just an adventure movie. theres nothing special with that. And when i say its JUST and adventure movie, im not joking.
Don’t know if you’ve covered it before and I’ve just missed it, but I would really like to hear further thoughts on the Lego Batman Movie. It wasn’t as good as the Lego Movie, but there’s something about it I really like. I’d just like to hear what other people think
This movie caught my eye because I used to play with those toys at my grandmas. They were fun but I only wanted them for the objects not the people. I haven’t watched the movie yet but I’m not sure if I ever will 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
PLAYMOBIL: THE MOVIE is about a young woman named Marla Brenner. She has just finished high school and wants to travel around the world, but her parents die in an accident. She becomes the legal guardian of her brother Charlie. 4 years pass and they're still living in the same house. I don't just mean that it's the same location; I mean that nothing inside reflects the passage of time. Everything is clean and tidy, and it seems like their financial status hasn't been affected. Does Marla work? Did they inherit enough money from their parents' will? Are they getting some kind of help from the government? I know these seem like minor details, but they needed to be clarified, because Charlie complains about Marla not being fun anymore with a "Our life sucks now" tone. We don't know what exactly is causing this and whether or not Marla is justified. You're probably waiting for me to compare this to THE LEGO MOVIE. Honestly, just because the toyline is a copy, it doesn't mean a film adaptation will automatically be a copy too. There certainly are similarities, but I feel that other films (like THE EMOJI MOVIE) have been bigger rip-offs. Well, what made that movie so great is that it tried to make statements about legos and people who play with them. It didn't feel like its main purpose was to be a commercial. By not giving us enough information about the Brenners' situation, we can't know for sure what they're doing wrong and/or what they need. Therefore, we can't know for sure what lesson we're supposed to learn. You must forget your responsibilities and have fun? You shouldn't let bad events affect your personality? Also, Marla & Charlie end up in a Playmobil store full of miniatures. I think them holding a sign that says "Buy this" would be more subtle. They have the kind of fight that usually happens right before the climax (even though we aren't even 15 minutes into the movie), and then they're magically dragged into the Playmobil world. Marla doesn't become a cool toy. I know that was decided so there could be a contrast between her and the spies, the scientists, etc. However, Charlie retains his personality in his viking body, so he still feels like a fish out of the water. The same thing could've been done for Marla. I thought it was a nice touch to show Marla struggling to move in her new body. However, it feels unnecessary in retrospective. Charlie doesn't struggle and Marla grows accustomed very fast. Not to mention that the limberness of all the toys is inconsistent. In some scenes, they're stiff as plastic; it others, they have the flexibility of a human body. Marla befriends a toy named Del. So now we have 2 toys modeled after an everyday person (even though he doesn't come from the real world, so he doesn't fit in this new world) that we have to follow around. It's just not very interesting. Each group of people or creatures have their own land, but there doesn't seem to be that much distance. How can they live so close to one another? Wouldn't the dinosaurs go outside of their zone and try to eat others? Wouldn't the Roman soldiers, cowboys, pirates, etc. notice that the people from other lands seem like a more advanced society? Wouldn't that affect how they live? Overall, the movie isn't very funny, but there are 1 or 2 cleverly subversive moments. I got the feeling that Anya Taylor-Joy was directed differently in live-action vs in animation. In fact, the way her character was written in both kinds of scenes also make her come off as 2 separate people. Regardless, she still manages to do a good job, and so does Daniel Radcliffe. 4/10
So I'm going through and bingeing some of your videos right now and I just want to say you have a lovely voice and delivery. I just came off of a TRO video and he's great of course but boy does he have mush mouth. You're incredibly articulate and seem to have a natural sense of script-reading rhythm (and script-writing rhythm). Keep it up my guy
The second lego movie wasn't too bad. I think the main problem with it was the unnecessary amount music numbers, while the first one had one to set the tone of Bricksburg. The sequel had one to introduce the non-villain, another one for the non-villain and Batman's falling-in-love scene, and the last one which... Actually wasn't bad at all (the last one was actually the only well placed musical number). Overall the message the sequel presents is actually not a bad one. And personafying the elder-brother's unwillingness to compromise and less-playful nature as bad-Emmit (can't remember his name) was actually a good idea.
Lego Movie was a shitpost trying to pass as a movie and it worked, while Playmobil: The Movie tried to cash in on The Lego Movie and take itself seriously which couldn't have worked.
Playmobile screenwriter room: Hey. Does anybody know if it's illegal to NOT kill a parent or parents off at the beginning of a family animated film? I heard that it's illegal to not kill a parent or parents off at the beginning of a family animated film. Can someone verify that? I mean... Disney does that a lot. I guess we have to as well. A quick rewrite and ... now the parents have been killed off. We are now in the same league as Disney Animation Studios.
This makes me sad becuase I absoloutly LOVED playmobile as a kid--I even have a playmobile advent calender. But despite my love for the toys, there's basically no way a movie about it can be good. ESPECIALLY after the lego movie--theres no way they could compete.
There is another Playmobil movie that I LOVED as a kid where you basically choose your own adventure. I've never seen anything like it, I think about it often. I wonder if I could find it.
Honestly it’s exactly what I expected from a toy company that decided to ride the Lego trend but just looked like a lousy and cheap emotionless ripoff to a lot of people
Maybe, to discover what could have been here, we have to talk more carefully about why playmobil isn't lego, but is it's own kind of fun worth having. One thing I was always appreciative of, as a kid, was how much you could build unique people with playmobil. there's some removeable upper body cloth and even some shoes, but, far more importantly, both hats and hairs are interchangeable. So, while the brand may tend to supply you with predictable caricatures, if you want your black male crossing guard character to have a long red braid down his back borrowed from a mother in a beach-going family set and then join the hockey team and by putting on that equipment, not everything can be reshaped, but a lot can. I had one expansive party set and one extremely small one and some randomly gathered people who must have been used grabs. As with Lego, the upfront cost to have enough to combine is probably high, but the quality is good for allkind of combinations and the Playmobil scale has the advantage of working really well with the scale of most other plastic toys. Lego is often a bit small and specific for that.
Okay idk why but here is my take on making a playmobil movie. I would say make it a series. A bunch of kids who every time that they play with playmobil, they are transformed into that world. And for some reason they have a ton of different sets and for a while each episode can be a different “world” after a while these different sets come in contact with each other and they collide. These kids are in the middle of this and have to navigate bringing these sets to peace. It would convey a sense of the marvelous world of kids imagination because for the adult it’s pretty easy to see that these worlds all play out inside the minds of the kids but I would blur those lines the farther we got in the series. It would also teach kids about peacemaking and dealing with problems. Oh and the most important thing of course with these things, sell toys

Taking this out of context...
I think it's accurate in a lot of contexts...
Why cant i klick show more
Karsten: Give me a break
Me sitting on my toilet: more like "give me a brick am I right?"
i have a few memories of playmobil from my childhood and they all boil down to 'ew this plastic feels cheap'
I grew up with the Playmobil toys, and seeing this movie gave me a bad taste in my mouth lol
I like to think that all of the $75 million budget was just for Anya Taylor-Joys wage.
I was at Annecy when Playmobil premiered.
We all avoided it like the plague, but I do remember seeing wonderful concept art of the movie displayed around the mall, it was heartbreaking.
It's one thing wondering about artistic talent being wasted on a bad cashgrab, but seeing it with your eyes...
(If you're wondering, most of the crowd at Annecy festival is composed of animators, animation students and critics, so it's not surprising people walked out the movie theatre in disgust)
Damn dude, that piano in the beginning was a banger
0:50 wasted opportunity on a “give me a brick” pun
I know now that if I ever make a video essay channel I have to lace the music with piano.
Loving the mustache karsten incredible work
"While there is a profound sense of guilt whenever I hit that realization, I also think its human to crank out something fun and easy out of necessity for tangible gratification rather than pride."
Very well said my friend
It’s super weird how big budget this movie is, and how many big names are in it, yet I never saw any ads for it, no one talking about it, nothing.
At first I just assumed it came out like 5 or 6 years ago, when I wasn’t as deep into the Internet, so I wouldn’t have heard about it.
I remember watching a playmobil choose your own adventure pirate movie some years ago.
The story was about a brother and sister that end up in the playmobil pirate world and need to make their way home.
I honestly thought this was gonna be about a playmobil movie about pirates I remember seeing the trailer for during my childhood as a trailer on either the labyrinth or cloudy with the chance of meatballs if I remember correctly. Probably the latter. That itself brought back a strange nostalgia of the crush I had on the voodoo guy who I think spoke twice during the whole trailer. From what I remember it actually looked good and this? I can’t exactly say the same
This video is actually on trending for gaming. I'm serious.
"sell out, but have some fun with it"
solid advice
0:52 “gimme a break” more like “gimme a brick” amirite
Oh, I remember The Little Prince, it made me cry so hard. Everything went awry and depressing and I can never forget it.
Fun fact: Kids being isekeid into a toy world was the scrapped concept for the first Bionicle movie. In 2003. Lego knew that concept was a bad idea a decade and a half earlier.
Man, you need to watch some more Tarkovsky.
Thanks for reminding me, my criterion channel subscription is almost out

XD Perfect!
I saw both playmobile ads a different drive-ins. The first time was between Detective Pikachu, and Shazam in May with a July date on it. The second time was Between The Addams Family (animated), and Beetlejuice in October with a coming soon on it. I was planning on seeing it at one of the drive-ins hopeful paired with something good. Both had closed for the season before it came out.
As someone going to Vancouver Film School, of which the director is an alumni, I have to admire him. Anyone who gets to the point where they get to direct their own movie, you have to respect them, even if it doesn't end up well.
It's already a bad sign when the two biggest pop singers they could get were Adam Lambert and Meghan Trainor. No wonder this shit bombed.
The Lego movie perfectly portrayed Legos. We have the wacky build style, people, aspects of sets and series, and the feeling of lego. The movie made you want to play and build with legos. You cannot tell me you saw the double-decker couch and told yourself "I dont want to play with Legos." The style of movie captured our attention and reminded us how we could make anything with Legos. that our imagination is key. As for the Playmobil movie... Well, from what I hear/see its just an adventure movie. theres nothing special with that. And when i say its JUST and adventure movie, im not joking.
Don’t know if you’ve covered it before and I’ve just missed it, but I would really like to hear further thoughts on the Lego Batman Movie. It wasn’t as good as the Lego Movie, but there’s something about it I really like. I’d just like to hear what other people think
This movie caught my eye because I used to play with those toys at my grandmas. They were fun but I only wanted them for the objects not the people. I haven’t watched the movie yet but I’m not sure if I ever will 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
PLAYMOBIL: THE MOVIE is about a young woman named Marla Brenner. She has just finished high school and wants to travel around the world, but her parents die in an accident. She becomes the legal guardian of her brother Charlie. 4 years pass and they're still living in the same house. I don't just mean that it's the same location; I mean that nothing inside reflects the passage of time. Everything is clean and tidy, and it seems like their financial status hasn't been affected. Does Marla work? Did they inherit enough money from their parents' will? Are they getting some kind of help from the government? I know these seem like minor details, but they needed to be clarified, because Charlie complains about Marla not being fun anymore with a "Our life sucks now" tone. We don't know what exactly is causing this and whether or not Marla is justified. You're probably waiting for me to compare this to THE LEGO MOVIE. Honestly, just because the toyline is a copy, it doesn't mean a film adaptation will automatically be a copy too. There certainly are similarities, but I feel that other films (like THE EMOJI MOVIE) have been bigger rip-offs. Well, what made that movie so great is that it tried to make statements about legos and people who play with them. It didn't feel like its main purpose was to be a commercial. By not giving us enough information about the Brenners' situation, we can't know for sure what they're doing wrong and/or what they need. Therefore, we can't know for sure what lesson we're supposed to learn. You must forget your responsibilities and have fun? You shouldn't let bad events affect your personality? Also, Marla & Charlie end up in a Playmobil store full of miniatures. I think them holding a sign that says "Buy this" would be more subtle. They have the kind of fight that usually happens right before the climax (even though we aren't even 15 minutes into the movie), and then they're magically dragged into the Playmobil world. Marla doesn't become a cool toy. I know that was decided so there could be a contrast between her and the spies, the scientists, etc. However, Charlie retains his personality in his viking body, so he still feels like a fish out of the water. The same thing could've been done for Marla. I thought it was a nice touch to show Marla struggling to move in her new body. However, it feels unnecessary in retrospective. Charlie doesn't struggle and Marla grows accustomed very fast. Not to mention that the limberness of all the toys is inconsistent. In some scenes, they're stiff as plastic; it others, they have the flexibility of a human body. Marla befriends a toy named Del. So now we have 2 toys modeled after an everyday person (even though he doesn't come from the real world, so he doesn't fit in this new world) that we have to follow around. It's just not very interesting. Each group of people or creatures have their own land, but there doesn't seem to be that much distance. How can they live so close to one another? Wouldn't the dinosaurs go outside of their zone and try to eat others? Wouldn't the Roman soldiers, cowboys, pirates, etc. notice that the people from other lands seem like a more advanced society? Wouldn't that affect how they live? Overall, the movie isn't very funny, but there are 1 or 2 cleverly subversive moments. I got the feeling that Anya Taylor-Joy was directed differently in live-action vs in animation. In fact, the way her character was written in both kinds of scenes also make her come off as 2 separate people. Regardless, she still manages to do a good job, and so does Daniel Radcliffe.
4/10
Wow, writing that must have took a lot of effort, good job
If your movie is being called an emoji movie ripoff you know your film is bad

So I'm going through and bingeing some of your videos right now and I just want to say you have a lovely voice and delivery. I just came off of a TRO video and he's great of course but boy does he have mush mouth. You're incredibly articulate and seem to have a natural sense of script-reading rhythm (and script-writing rhythm). Keep it up my guy
Jimmy:Hey mum can we watch the lego movie
Mum:No we have the lego movie at home
The playmobil movie:....
The plural of Lego is Lego not “lEgOs”.
Dude most Americans say Legos and other people around the world say Lego. So chill
@@JackVoke i am chill, haha, just saying cus it is wrong.
What do you mean, the s is silent
Hey do you watch IHE?
Ah yes I'm off to herd my sheeps and then play with my legos
The second lego movie wasn't too bad. I think the main problem with it was the unnecessary amount music numbers, while the first one had one to set the tone of Bricksburg. The sequel had one to introduce the non-villain, another one for the non-villain and Batman's falling-in-love scene, and the last one which... Actually wasn't bad at all (the last one was actually the only well placed musical number).
Overall the message the sequel presents is actually not a bad one. And personafying the elder-brother's unwillingness to compromise and less-playful nature as bad-Emmit (can't remember his name) was actually a good idea.
Lego Movie was a shitpost trying to pass as a movie and it worked, while Playmobil: The Movie tried to cash in on The Lego Movie and take itself seriously which couldn't have worked.
Playmobile screenwriter room: Hey. Does anybody know if it's illegal to NOT kill a parent or parents off at the beginning of a family animated film? I heard that it's illegal to not kill a parent or parents off at the beginning of a family animated film. Can someone verify that? I mean... Disney does that a lot. I guess we have to as well. A quick rewrite and ... now the parents have been killed off. We are now in the same league as Disney Animation Studios.
Karsten’s thought process in this video:
Who is playmobil movie?
How is playmobil movie?
*_Why_* is playmobil movie?
This makes me sad becuase I absoloutly LOVED playmobile as a kid--I even have a playmobile advent calender. But despite my love for the toys, there's basically no way a movie about it can be good. ESPECIALLY after the lego movie--theres no way they could compete.
Karsten and 24 Frames of Nick were sharing the same brain cell when they thought about making their videos

There’s only one good thing about this movie,
It makes us more appreciative of
“The LEGO Movie”
Lol
Can't wait for the Megablox movie!
Next there's gonna be a movie for those cube-shaped connecting blocks in every elementary school class.
There is another Playmobil movie that I LOVED as a kid where you basically choose your own adventure. I've never seen anything like it, I think about it often. I wonder if I could find it.
Fun fact I had a mental breakdown when watching this in thesters
Honestly it’s exactly what I expected from a toy company that decided to ride the Lego trend but just looked like a lousy and cheap emotionless ripoff to a lot of people
Maybe, to discover what could have been here, we have to talk more carefully about why playmobil isn't lego, but is it's own kind of fun worth having. One thing I was always appreciative of, as a kid, was how much you could build unique people with playmobil. there's some removeable upper body cloth and even some shoes, but, far more importantly, both hats and hairs are interchangeable. So, while the brand may tend to supply you with predictable caricatures, if you want your black male crossing guard character to have a long red braid down his back borrowed from a mother in a beach-going family set and then join the hockey team and by putting on that equipment, not everything can be reshaped, but a lot can. I had one expansive party set and one extremely small one and some randomly gathered people who must have been used grabs. As with Lego, the upfront cost to have enough to combine is probably high, but the quality is good for allkind of combinations and the Playmobil scale has the advantage of working really well with the scale of most other plastic toys. Lego is often a bit small and specific for that.
Okay idk why but here is my take on making a playmobil movie. I would say make it a series. A bunch of kids who every time that they play with playmobil, they are transformed into that world. And for some reason they have a ton of different sets and for a while each episode can be a different “world” after a while these different sets come in contact with each other and they collide. These kids are in the middle of this and have to navigate bringing these sets to peace. It would convey a sense of the marvelous world of kids imagination because for the adult it’s pretty easy to see that these worlds all play out inside the minds of the kids but I would blur those lines the farther we got in the series. It would also teach kids about peacemaking and dealing with problems. Oh and the most important thing of course with these things, sell toys

I saw this movie and didn't think I was going to fall asleep in the theater but I fell asleep in the theater for at most 5 minutes.
