So I Analyzed the Minecraft Movie Trailer...

There are a lot of things missed in the Minecraft Movie Trailer, some good, some.. not so good. And I'm here to share them with you.

Found the password to this account again. Lovely. Hope you enjoyed the video!

There is an easy way to prevent things from looking uncanny.

Prioritize a stylized look over realism (especially for video game themed stuff), and resist the desire to make everything uncharacteristically fluffy just because that means more easily marketable plushies.

Another reason to appreciate the Lego Movie after all these years: The Attention to detail. Everything was made out of Lego, even if it was digitally done. They made a program so they could realistically build the environments, props, vehicles, etc out of Lego, they didn't cheat and make parts fit together that normally wouldn't in real life. Meanwhile this movie is breaking its own rules as they're just using designs from Mods, not the base game.

Yes, you can argue mods are part of Minecraft so naturally enough people will recognize the mods... but for people who don't use mods (Yes, we exist) it comes off as false advertising.

Comparing it to teletubbies was the best comparison ever

The plot will be exactly like this:
Little kid with the tesseract will find it when doing whatever with the rest of the cast, the tesseract will guide them towards the portal, they discover minecraft world, tesseract is a mcguffin that piglins will at some point steal to be in the overworld without a problem, main cast realizes "wait we can do anything, let's be goofy and whacky" and they build goofy and whacky contraptions to defeat the piglins, they get the mcguffin back and they decide to live in the minecraft world instead of the real world
Also is worth noting, that tesseract looks similar to the purple cube the illager from minecraft dungeons has

[channymc]

2:26 That tesseract seems to be the same cube in Minecraft Legends which is used by the Seer to create portals to the Overworld. Orb of Dominance? ...idk

what if the trailer is a prank and jack black is just a bouts be like “sorry i had a texture pack on”

[manguy]

I guarantee you, the reason that they didn't make it an animated movie is because they didn't want it to look like a film length YouTube video. Because the animated Minecraft YouTube scene is already so high quality, they needed a way to make the movie have its own visually distinct identity. It's a weird branding thing they do.

Also, the celebrity cast wouldn't be able to have their real faces be recognizable on a Minecraft model, and Hollywood is obsessed with that.

[mitch]

The director has even stated: "i don't want another ugly sonic situation" and then he goes and does this.. it makes no sense.

[CreatorsToast]

It feels like they made it live action just so they could have celebrity cameos, and then made the models and textures hyperrealistic to fit the actors. The characters should fit the movie, not the movie the actors.

For the minecraft movie, all that needed to be done, was give element animation a movie sized budget and let them run wild.

I believe the reason the nether portal is blue is because it's not actually a nether portal.

This movie seems to have a plot of people being brought into Minecraft from the real world, so I would assume the blue portal is what brings them there.

[Akanisen]

Hit the nail on the head about them not committing to the block design. The animals (especially the llama) having rounded noses, along with other details, amongst a blocky body is so freaky to me

[icemagiciangh]

Ok. But can we talk about how the starter music doesn’t sound _anything_ like actual Minecraft music? It’s got that creepy reverb type fade in, then… whatever happens after that.

[smallsavage]

They missed the opportunity to call it "Minecraft: Movie Edition"

[lasercraft]

NOBODY seems to be talking about this... But is anyone else very _confused_ that the CREEPER only shows up _once_ in the whole trailer, and its specifically a shot where the camera isn't focused on it? Doesn't exactly inspire confidence that the literal mascot of the game is barely present at all.

[midnightsocean]

If they made it animated, the celebrities would only get paid for voice acting. That's why.

[bengermin]

They shouldve just made the actors animated. If the plot was that humans were brought into minecraft, the panic they have for the first few minutes as they get used to their blocky anatomy wouldve been a nice touch.
I remember many old minecraft parodies doing this and those were so good

[lasercraft]

16:46 The artstyle they used literally feels like what you get when you ask AI to generate images of Minecraft buildings.

[Hi-sxvb]

It would’ve been so cool to learn the lore of Minecraft, past the game, through a movie, but instead they had to bring real humans into this. Like he said, learning the lore of the piglins would’ve been so sick

[Web_Slade]

The humans aren't 2 blocks tall. They're 3. There's something wrong, I can feel it.
