One extra thing if the opening scene hasn't already been shot to death enough, but the little girl decided to bring a green hat to a green screen...
haha I never registered that??? it's okay that magic app will take care of it-
if only they knew there can be a "green screen" of different color...
Blue screens:
I was disappointed to see that Sam didn't adopt the little girl herself or went back to the world as it was still filled with bad luck and used her skills to overcome the challenges of not being lucky. The vague message of "you need some bad in your life, not only good luck" is quite shallow when you don't actually explore the serious challenges that brings and don't show people that you can make it in life even if luck is not on your side.
She just got kicked from the orphanage I don't think that's the best idea? Lol
Dude she was 18
@@thefungiwhisperer2313 an 18 year old can still adopt. Then again she's in her right mind not to pick her up herself. 😭
I get your point but maybe it should’ve been done differently since it doesn’t make sense for to be capable of adopting the little girl.
she didn't? guys the timelines are merging
oh no....
IM GETTING EMOJI MOVIE HUMAN VIBES
THE WAY THE HUMANS LOOK
I haven't seen the emoji movie since it came out so I'll take your word for it 🫡
@@CarrieTooTired. Sam's junk in the trunk would be too good for that!
@@CarrieTooTiredyou should watch it 😈😈😈
I’m so sick of these kind of models, we had to use these all the time for animation classes and it was so dull
Like holy shit I know that there’s a sort of look for disney movies but damn their 2D movies can be told apart very easily while the modeling with the 3D is a bit of the same flavor and most 3D movies/series just seem to try and copy that style and call it a day…
@@Powered1Buttercup fr character designs are important you would rather prefer having a known character and design even knowing by their silhouette thats what disney did with their 2d animated films
you want a unique character design and one that stands out and doesnt just be called a "pixar and disney movies now humans"
Luck is just the apple version of wish and that is not a good thing.
Yes
Luck was made before wish actually
Two movies with four-letter titles written by people with J.L. Initials and boring protagonists played by actresses with high levels of acting and musical talent. 💀
@@karathewolfsfanficchannel933 lmfao
they bought wish from wish
She was supposed to be barely 18?? I thought she was like, late 20s at best!!! I saw a lot of portions of this movie as facebook reels with no continuity.
honestly that sounds like a more interesting way to watch this movie 👀
5:56 I love that they’re even ankle socks, which are so hidden by most shoes that they don’t even _need_ to match. xD
right! at least give them obviously different textures and lengths
They're so small i feel like they won't even fit on her.
The real bad luck was her being too poor to buy new socks.
Most of my socks are ankle socks so ji think its pointless to find its twin XD
Ngl, if you want a fun main character whose gimmick is having very bad luck, Milo from Milo Murphy's Law is one good example of that. What I like about him in comparison to Sam is that he simply got used to his awful luck, and because of that he comes up with really fun solutions while the scenarios themselves are getting wackier by the minute.
His optimistic attitude (since like you said, he was already used to his problem) is a unique approach to the unlucky character trope.
Despite everything, he knows there's always a way to turn things around and overcome the issue.
It kinda gives hope to the viewer.
Yes!!! I love that show. & how the comedy usually comes from how others react to Murphy’s law, not just Milo
This movie had a lot of potential in my opinion. I was really excited when the first trailers came out, because Sam could've been relatable for the audience, it involved elements of luck in different cultures, and the visuals were stunning. But now, knowing how plain the plot and characters are, and having the director's background issue had discouraged me to even give it a try. Certainly a loss of opportunity in the animation world
I'm down for having someone with perpetual bad luck, because we all had "one of those days" where everything just goes wrong *war flashbacks* 😭 but the movie held back on all the "bad day" symptoms as if it was too scared to hurt her??? I'm just saying if I have to watch a luck-based movie I'd pick Just My Luck any day ✌
Also I didn't mention this, but the "culture" part of this movie is so bland- all they had were Leprechauns, bunnies, pigs, a unicorn, and a dragon? It's very Eurocentric even though they *explicitly* pointed out different cultures' lucky items in the very beginning of the movie???
@@CarrieTooTired Well that's even more frustrating! 😤 And you're right, what unlucky can be getting a new job where your boss doesn't even fire you and he's being nice to you? Make him a j*rk at least! I mean, Maguire's Peter Parker is a better example of the person with bad luck! He's an orphan, J.J. Jameson treated him badly, his crush is always replacing him with better potential boyfriends, he lost his uncle, had a department he can barely pay, his best friend becomes a lunatic and then dies!
@@analivehorses yes 👏 the audience may not have a 1 to 1 relatability to Peter, but we feel so much for him! And seeing him overcome these obstacles when the odds are so against him not only makes him a good role model, but someone you want to root for and see succeed 😤
Every “bad luck” thing the movie wants you to think Sam has gets cancelled out immediately: her first day was hectic but she wasn’t late or fired, she doesn’t have a seat to eat her dinner but the street was empty so eating on the curb wasn’t a big deal, even when Hazel’s appointment got cancelled she was immediately scheduled a new one??? Sam literally destroyed the luck world Bob tells her she’s pure good and unselfish like 🙃 no?????
I was so excited when it came out too, but look where that got us! Just another Wish.
And they could’ve made the lesson something like “You can’t have good luck without bad luck because your good luck might be a different persons bad luck” like if someone is a bad person, like they did crimes, their good luck would be never getting caught, while that would be a different persons bad luck, a vice versa, the lesson is so easy if they just tried a bit more
And to think my family decided to watch this movie instead of a ghibli movie
Ghibili movies are the best
L family
Luck had latvia mentioned, immediately +1 point
AYYYYYYYY
Wish it was mentioned in a better movie, we can't have our nation be associated with this 😢
@@OneAndOnlyFran well, gotta make use of what we have i suppose
hell yeaa
Hell yea my country atleast gets mentioned somewhere!
The movie IS Mid but I’ve seen it twice which is more than some newer Disney films. It’s so all over the place! It hinges on AI prompt that was just barely smoothed out by a human.
Also “Sam and Cat” got me lol
The concept of bad luck| good luck was done better in Just my luck! I was sad for the guy, played by Chris pine (He was great in the movie, same in RIse of the guardians!) He was trying to help a rock group being successful and giving a better life to his sister. He's a really nice person! The lucky girl too and it was nice seeing her strugle with bad luck, she did her best to survive despite her problems (Her appartment was floded, she almost DIES because a hairdryer explode, she was send to jail, she falls on a mud sculpture etc.) The romance was well done too! Both characters spend time to know each other, it was cute 🥰
Funny you mentioned that, bc my original script had a whole side tangent about how that movie handled a luck-driven plot better 😂 but yes it’s a very cute movie!!
@@CarrieTooTired. Elaborate, on this please.
Making a movie about luck was their first mistake
Probably not their first
@@beetole_ I like the way you're thinking lol
Can you explain why?
@@nintendoboy3605 Well, because luck in and of itself does not carry a narrative. Hence why they had to stretch out the concept to try and make sense of it
Yeah there was a show with a similar concept called Milo Murphy's Law, which is great go watch it, and the first few episodes before they start focusing on other stuff and it's just "what can go wrong will go wrong" were honestly kind of samey and boring
I have a dark theory on why Sam's bland nature, she has a cynical view in life because she is an alternative version of Meg from Family Guy. Meg had enough that she run away or been confiscated but her bad experience from Griffin cause her to be cynical that became unlucky Sam
I mean...that's a good ending for Meg
@@Air_Serpent BEST MEG ENDING EVER
Sam is Meg's nobody
This is actually cannon, this theory was confirmed on the official artbook! They deleted the transformation animation sadly
3:42 This is a stupid thing to fixate on, but why does this kid have a Dala horse in her collection? I've never heard that they're supposed to be lucky-- the stories I heard growing up were mostly about how they magically grew in the night and took kids on an adventure. Usually they have to escape trolls which try to grab the horse by the tail, but it's just painted on so the horse and kid escape. It's magic (for kids, grown-ups just think they look neat) but it's not lucky.
I’ve been saying “DALA HORSE, FROM SWEEDEN” for almost 2 years now and it’s not even a lucky item???
Makes about as much sense as half the charms in Lucky Charms cereal so I guess I'm desensitized to a confusingly broad definition of "lucky"
"Usually they have to escape trolls which try to grab the horse by the tail, but it's just painted on so the horse and kid escape"
That's such a cute idea oh my god
@@CarrieTooTiredit’s pretty.
heres a better reason for why there has to be a balance of good and bad luck:
without suffering there can be no joy. the human mind is conditional and adaptive, and if it adjusts to just constant joy, it all becomes numb and boring.
movie probably didnt think about this so its still bad lol
the style reminds me of the Jehovah's witness cartoons.
Oh no...I haven't watched or know much about them, but I bet they are really bad.
@@partyanimal9382 I think their LGBT ones are the worst out of all of them if your curious but don't want to hunt.
@@partyanimal9382 Their animation is pretty good... The morals and story are, ahem, interesting.
Milo Murphy's law is a nice little series centered around a similar ”someone with very bad luck” idea. I liked it.
No one really talks about it but I really hate the dance they do. They really tried to make a new trendy dance for the kids to do but it’s failed miserably.
A very meh movie. I only watched it because an actor I liked played in it, and I still had low expectations that of course weren't surpassed. It didn't feel like it brought anything new or original, the characters' expressions were mediocre even though the voice actors did a great job with what they were given, and the ending just felt so patronizing to me. Watching it after two years of a pandemic and being told "We need bad luck because it teaches us things" made me wanna barf. Mediocrity and surface level at their finest.
yeah the movie is generic to a fault 🙃 plus the message feels like it’s made for 5 and under
@@CarrieTooTired. The only things appealing in this movie from a visual sense are Sam and babe. Former for the junk in her trunk, latter for everything else! ;)
The growing out of the orphanage is something that the social workers have to do. They can't just let her out into the world without help, so they tell her that in order to keep her fully furnished apartment, she has to work and/or stay in school. That's not luck; that's the bare minimum because she has no one else to help her.
I saw your thumbnail and instantly assumed I had missed a Disney movie or something, only to realize that's impossible.
One thing I don't like about shamrocks and leprechauns as luck symbols is that "The luck of the Irish" was used to discredit all of the achievements of Irish folks in the United States.
I get it but it's a thing Irish people join in on too so...
@@PointsofData Yeah, we do. Doesn't take away from the origin.
"we're still on our way to 1k"?! Dude i just watched 4 of your videos back to back, what do you mean your channel is itty bitty, absolutely not. please keep making content, i beg. i love your style immediately.
thank you sm 💖 I literally got sick the day my wish video blew up, but I am working on new vids 💪
@@CarrieTooTired. How about hihi puffy ami yumi. Because it's pretty ahead of it's time!
the character designs are so... forgettable, too. i like how the dragon looks i guess, but i just really like dragons, its hard to mess up a dragon (though still possible). also the humans eyes look WEIRD and i dont actually know why, but they do.
bob is cute ig?? but nothing stands out abt his design other than being polydactyl
Jeff the unicorn being a mustached middle-aged accountant instead of the usual "graceful dainty horse" unicorns are portrayed as is funny tho.
The dragon looks like that one dragon from shrek. Which isnt bad but its not very memorable :(
How do you make a unforgettable character design?
@@reesesinyobowl theres a lot that factors into that lol i aint answering that in a youtube comment. that said, you _dont_ do what this movie did 💀
They could have done like an inside out kind of scene where she reminisces on times when she had really bad luck and was sad and was comforted by her friends and how it made their relationships stronger or something. Like when Riley fumbled the hockey match and her friends and family came to comfort her and brought some joy out of the sadness.
Another angle could have been her being super pessimistic and annoyed but gaining skills in being resourceful because of her bad luck and then pairing her with a character who only had good luck but has become incompetent in difficult situations because they’ve never had to adapt or overcome anything. The message could have been that through hard work and struggle comes innovation, or that learning and growing comes through failure and hard work.
Or it could have been about how good and bad luck are all about perspective and there could have been a scene where she was talking with the little girl and said something along the lines of “all my life I thought I was unlucky, but really I’m very lucky because everything that’s happened to me led to me meeting you and I wouldn’t change it for the world” or something.
Bam three luck based messages that you can actually wrote a story around
I liked Luck when I saw the trailer ‘cause I was like, “omg! A black cat that usually represents bad luck represents good luck in this movie!” I love cats so this made me happy. I was also hoping for this to be similar to the show Milo Murphy, but it wasn’t.
I feel like this movie could have had a lot of good potential, I think it was a shoe-in for a good moral lesson, like something along the lines that sometimes you have bad luck but that's okay blah blah blah life keeps going on and you have to work with it sort of thing... *But we didn't get that-*
I have to say though my hopes were not high for this movie when I saw the poster, and I know this sounds weird, but I'm telling you, when the poster looks boring, or bad, or feels like something is missing, then the movie *might* not be very good.
The movie was leaning so hard into the “You can still have family, friends, and a good life even with bad luck- because you’re in charge of your life at the end of the day” but they chickened out for some reason 🙃
Posters are such a hit or miss when it comes to animated movies- Megamind slaps but man does it have bad posters 🙈 but yes bland posters are a red flag fr
The vibe I got from the teaser trailer was that this was gonna be a grounded movie about someone getting luck powers, but this? This is just every other down-the-rabbit hole adventure, only with clashing aesthetics and the absolute vaguest magic system.
4:30 That animation and music reminds me of "Hallo aus Berlin", which is a terrifying German-learning show.
was ich dien liegbiensfach?
I think the writers just never knew how it is to be poor. They just didn't even consider Sam not being able to get a job or not finding a good home. You can see the same in many other movies. Also Wolfwalkers is absolutely amazing, and it's an Irish film (which is where I'm from)
carrie: "jerry the leprechaun, babe the dragon and jeff the-"
me: "killer?"
carrie: "unicorn"
*war flashbacks*
They could have had a subplot about how one person's good luck is a other person's bad luck. And them the ending of good and bad luck would make sense. Because trying to always have good luck would break everything as it isn't even possible.
Omg what?? I love the cat design haha, basically the only thing drawing me to the movie 😂
Huh, I didn't know the movie even had a factory-like setting to explain what creates all the luck in the world. It does come off as Pixar-esque, considering they made Monsters Inc. and Inside Out. Even then, those two movies established their setting in the opening minutes, and several functions are shown rather than told if they're not critical to the story (Screams=Power and the importance of memories, respectively, are outright told to the audience, but not a lot else is).
In Luck's case, it seems they wanted to do a similar setting, but only explored it partway through the film, and even looking at the clips you showed I don't know what purpose any of the offices or machinery serve (unless it was in exposition you skipped). Like any bad rip-off, it took similar imagery but missed the point of why it was there in the first place.
So if someone passes by and witnesses a thief about to break into a home therefore stopping the thief from breaking into the home, what would clogging the bad luck do? Seeing the thief is bad luck for the thief but good luck for the home owner. Not seeing the thief is good for the thief, bad for the home owner. I don't think it is possible for either forms of luck to disappear from the world. One person's bad luck can be another person's good luck.
I think one aspect that people don’t mention enough is the boring environment already throws off the entire thing.
Most scenes focus on the bare necessities that it should be comprised of. I.e, the home at the start of the movie lacks character like the children are just propped in there to act; it doesn’t look lived in. It’s a theme throughout the whole movie so it feels more like watching a low budget kids series with animations and character detail dialed up. The director clearly didn’t invest enough time into letting the environment contribute to the story. All characters wear bland clothes with no personality, the buildings are uniformly clean- the human aspect is washed away.
the acting issue has got to be a directorial issue because Eva Noblezada (who plays Sam) is an insanely talented actress who has originated multiple roles on Broadway. Either that or they only did one take for each delivery
i just found your channel and i love your videos a lot, but god the tomodachi life music is heartbreaking after i effed up my 2Ds during cleaning and reassembly last weekend😭... saving up for a new one... and subbing!
NOOOOOOOO 🥺 I’m so sorry!! Pouring one out for the tomodachis 😔🍺
I think the moral lesson that Sam took is that without bad things happening unpredictably we would be denying ourselves for meeting and dealing with unexpected things in life. Like meeting new people or getting back together with another person
This is the first time I've seen the LIKE button glow with a rainbow effect right when you said "like it" at the end and I was just mousing over to do so. Like the video. :)
thank you sm 💕
Okay, quick script doctor on this;
Lesson can be about making your own luck. Maybe the magical beings can only somewhat influence scenarios, but it's how we view and react to them that makes the difference. This can also tie in with Sam having the good luck of having a home and a job handed to her, and using that luck to give her own luck to someone else who needs it; the other orphan girl who needs a home. That way the movie concludes with them writing their own destinies rather than subjecting themselves to the whims of superstition. It would also be a decent character arc for the main character Sam to change her viewpoint from pessimistic to optimistic as she learns to roll with the punches and become more adaptable to the situations around her as the story goes on, as well as carrying over those life lessons and experience into raising her newly adopted child.
That's just my thoughts, though.
I don't understand why everyone Why everyone wanted her to adopt the child? She was literally just 18 and barely had the financial situation to probably sit there and support herself.
That's why she couldn't adopt the kid. But other than that, that, it was yeah, pretty much a trash movie.
I'll say what I said on another review of luck: the 2009 Garfield show had a better luck episode, and they should've went with that.
Here's a quick rewrite of the plot. It's a bit cliché, but at least it has a purpose:
1) Sam suffers from persistent, *actual* bad luck. She's understandably glum about it, it's been going on "forever".
2) Sam somehow meets a luck managing staff, goes to luckworld, yadda yadda... acquires a lucky charm. Probably upsetting the balance of luck (but she don't know that!).
3) With the charm in hand and ludicrously positive luck, her life turns around for the best!
4a) However, the lucky charm seem to work by siphoning the luck of others around Sam (up to the luck of everyone else in the world), because now they have terribly bad luck.
4b) Bad people start to get suspicious of Sam and want her luck/gains.
5) Sam realizes can't keep skewing luck to her favor, for her sake and that of her friends.
She learns she has to endure through bad luck and enjoy good luck when it happens. The best one can do in situations out of their control is to stay optimistic and instead focus on what they can do.
6) Sam returns the lucky charm. Her luck turns bad again, but her friends' luck turns better again.
7) Despite bad luck making her lose her previous gains, she stays hopeful that things will get better and she's happy her friends are happy. Maybe she get a little good luck, as a treat.
4:40 my man just picked up a globe from the backrooms
- Now, where did i put the broom?
* picks up the globe *
- That’s not it.
Woah, why is this channel so underrated! These videos are adorable.
ahh thank you sm 💕
I mean, Whoopi Goldberg is in it too. She's a legend-- but she's barely in it
3:14 Who says someone's full name like that-- just say Sam, there are no other Sams around-- she's probably the only Sam you know at all. I feel like they did that just for exposition... which was unnecessary, it's actually more work if you give your character a last name.
“so it CAN BE aDdeD AS a BEAt AftER tHe mC meSSeS Up IN ThE TRaiLer!!!”
The idea was neat, as proven by countless other "Bad luck" characters like Inspector Gadget, Milo Murphy even that guy from the Naked Gun movies. The world of Luck had a neat history and set up, and they did nothing really with it. I still annoyed how quickly they went over the bad luck world, as if they were doing a speed run of a game.
Seriously a major part of the story was how bad the MC's luck always was. Be nice if we found out a reason, like some one in the bad luck world hated her, the machine was broke or something.
I can think up a 'decent lesson' in like a few seconds
'No-one would feel lucky if there wasn't anything to balance it' aka 'good luck would cease to exist without bad luck'
Like imagine them trying to erase all the bad luck, and then things start to go haywire
That couldda been a thing for the movie (it needs to pick a plot though, if you wanna use 5 ideas, make a sequel or some shorts, not a big mess that fights with itself)
Honestly, the start of her 'independent life' shouldda been something like
- applies to 100s of different jobs
- doesn't get any
- tries again
- she fumbles interviews, is late, her alarm breaks, etc etc.
- she learns to prepare for these inconveniences
- gets a job, gets fired because of more unlucky incidents - multiple times
- but Eventually she's simply learned to be prepared enough that she manages to overcome the bad luck. Well, for the most part. It still happens, it still slows and wears her down. She's not happy, but she tires to hold herself the best she can. If not for herself, then for others. (And Obviously she herself does not notice this. To herself she just thinks she's hopelessly unlucky no matter what) This is just how life is, she needs to live with it, even if it's sucky (these thoughts are not mentioned, it's a 'lesson/fact' to be learned later) - and she wishes bad luck didn't exist
-- And All of that has just been a few minute montage. It shows her bad luck & her learning to deal with it, BUT we're not told she's learned directly, the character herself does not acknowledge she's learned. It's just routine, how things are, and she's so very tired of everything.
Something like that
I need sleep

@@CarrieTooTired yw and l like your voice and congrats on 1k you totally deserve it, hope your doing well and staying safe
When the little girl said, "You sure have bad luck, Sam Greenfield." I completely gave up on this movie being anything better than passable because who talks like that?
“Luck” over Disney’s “Wish” any day
I liked this movie I don’t think it’s that bad I think it’s kind of wholesome and honestly as a former orphan myself lucky being forced to leave the orphanage got me in my feels because I’ve seen many friends of mine turn 18 and have to leave the orphanage anyway other than that nothing really interested me
i hate when animation doesn't animate the cat to be more cat like. especially with the tail its like just smth taped to them. but then again the humans barely act like humans here too
bob's teeth make me uncomfortable
why does he look so human?
the only thing making me believe we could rewrite the movie is simply because there is a cat
My nephew was really interested in watching this movie with me when it first came out- but we never got the chance to watch it because we didn’t have the streaming service that it was on- he might enjoy watching this instead though- he likes watching Danny Gonzalez react to movies so I assumed he’d like this too! Loved the video 🙏
Haha thank you 💕 hope he likes this
@@CarrieTooTired He loved it!!! I was shocked he was willing to sit through the whole thing- a lot of the stuff he watches really wanted to overstimulate their viewers with their editing lol
I wanna know your other project your gonna do since your underrated not gonna lie😄🕶️😎✨
Aww thank you 💕
I think the possible lesson is that when bad luck comes you should be optimistic still I think it could be something else.
why is NO one talking about eva noblezada being in the cast list. SHE WAS ON BROADWAY???
...is that why they made her sing that those weird songs???
Ok but I laughed so hard at the part where the cat admits that he has a different accent. I couldn’t believe the movie did that
Such a weird plot twist like???
Wow, just found this channel
Been loving your videos so far😊😊

as soon as you mentioned a movie about luck I'm wishing for a Lucky Penny movie :'3
Ok... I thought it was a video about Disney "Wish" movie, because of how similar these main characters look...
im not even gonna lie, i watched this movie maybe a year or so ago and it genuinely made me feel physically ill
Nice video! Your art style is really cute and your content gives off some good vibes. Keep it up!
aww this is so sweet 🥺💕 thank you
@@CarrieTooTired No problem! :D
I thought this video was gonna be an analysis on videogame luck lol
Honestly I liked luck and how it showed a the background something that other movies don’t push on much and the unlikely friendship with Sam and bob ❤
what do you mean other movies don't focus on backgrounds?
As someone who has never seen this movie, I have some good things to say about it
- The ginger leprechaun looks cute. Some of the other character designs look cute too.
- The dragon has a a nice design (but she low-key reminds of the dragon from Shrek).
- And Bob the cat seems like a cool guy.
It's a little disappointing to see this movie didn't perform well (based on Carrie's reaction and general reviews). Luck seems like it had a lot of potential. It would be nice to see a movie that isn't pre-existing IP, like a reboot or spin-off, succeed on streaming or in the box office.
Bro I literally had to watch this in math class because the class got a free day 😭 I was so happy that I got to leave early
The trailer I saw for Luck looked promising to a small degree for me.
When I saw the movie, the only thing I could see in my head when I heard "luck" was the purple and green glitter flying everywhere.
It would have been cool to see Sam use her bad luck to fix good luck, but that never happened.
I was also hoping that the cat would play the part of a good luck guide.
Not an actual guide.
And when she dressed up as an elf... just... how did no one realize she was human when they send agents to the HUMAN world.
Why do they send them?? No idea.
That could've played a part, but it never did. It was just "oh yeah, that's a thing. Moving on."
There could have been much more done.
every single character's eyes also give me immense anxiety
a lot of this movie feels like it was built more on spite than genuine talent
I also want to point out that during the last few scenes, my brain went into Tom Servo mode, and I was just internally screaming "END!!!! END!!!!!!" for ten straight minutes...
"woah i see you really added to your collection"
this has the feel of the first customer in little shot of horrors
At 8:20 theres a Id that has A113 (The exact one that comes up through the pixar movies) Probably John Ratzenberger directed this for a little gag.
2:19 I didn't miss those among us eyes
this movie could have tried to play onto themes of freewill. like if luck is real, what does that say about us & our descission making? if that orphan got adopted would it be because she deserved it or was a genuinley good fit for the household or just because she was arbituarily "lucky"
some intresting themes & could be a good way to introduce this kinda thinking to a younger audience lol.
i like how you drew little art of the characters too btw. even though you didnt like any of them much you doing that made me oddly happy lol
I was so annoyed with the first scene that I just put it off. The line “you are so unlucky” feels so overly forced and lazy. It seems there’s no reason to regret my decision to put it off.
Fun fact:
The voice actor of Shenzi from The Lion King also voiced a character from this movie. (I believe she voices the captain?)
yeah it's whoopi goldberg! she plays the captain, loved her as shenzi
10:04 the captain is giving il dottore vibes frfr
The animation and compositing looks nice though!
This movie doesn't deserve such a hot dragon
this movie looks and feels like a really long short film, honestly
9:43 Sing looking ah pigs💀
okay but game idea: its could be set anywhere but bassicly your a cat and you must travle around the world fuguring out your purpose in life and the way you do is ny reliving your past 8 lives. during the game your choices could lead you to accept your last life and live it out to the fullest or go down a dark past trying to gain immortality or summ like that
Ooooohhhh-kaaaaaaayyyyyh.

Ahdjshav thank you 💕
The definition of an antagonist in literature is the opposing force that the main character, also known as the protagonist, faces.
the animation is better than a lot of movies at least
A friend a work wouldn't be worried about not finding a matching pair of socks as she only wears odd socks.
i also laughed at the cheese sandwich, it was so unexpected
You know something? There’s a show that does this whole concept WAYYYYY better and thats the show milo murphy’s law. Milo’s life is ‘whatever can go wrong, will go wrong’ but with all that, he’s a happy optimist. And it’s really entertaining (cant go wrong with having the creators of phineas and ferb). Heck, its in the same universe as phineas and ferb too, and doof is funny in this show too. Anyway, its a heck of a lot better than this sad movie, I didn’t even finish it, i got bored and moved on
8:20 the fabled A113!
only part i can remember and like from this movie is the dilf (dragon id like to f-)
For a movie about luck, the luck universe is incredibly boring, you could have done so much with the concept of good and bad luck in different cultures, I know that they showed a few animals and objects of good luck (like rabbits, dragons, four leaf clovers, ect) but they get repetitive very quickly, plus the environment is just so bland, it’s trying to hard to give a modernised monsters inc kinda vibe.
Also the moral is just non existent, there’s not even a “be grateful for what you have” or “there can’t be good luck with out bad luck” so you just feel like you’ve waisted your time
Also fun fact that I just learnt! Leprechauns aren’t symbols of good luck, they’re symbols of wealth and hard work(but it’s considered lucky if you see one)
could've been cool if they joined luck into themes on fate, whether or not it can be subverted, or something. The cat could've also been a symbol of that, literally defying death (the most inevitable and common fate) with his 9 lives, but oh well. or maybe just abandon the whole luck gimmick and try something else haha. glad I skipped this one XD
The thumbnail didn't load, and i just saw the title and thought, "Oh yeah, beung lucky ain't fun," and theb realised that it was about th film
