  • I actually didn’t mind the Beetlejuice sequal, it was busy but fun. So I guess it comes down to implementation more than hard rules.

    But Jurassic World 3 would have been better served being split into two films, one where they visit the Jurassic Park crew for some guidance and a separate film where the Jurassic World crew can resolve their own issues and complete their series.

    Pushing both into a single 147 minute movie is a bit silly.

    I have no problem with sequals taking an idea/world and not the characters from the original. Star Trek has been doing this pretty successfully with their TV shows for years.











  • Below, see a breakdown of story elements that are present both in the Moana movies and the Bucky screenplay:

    • The setting of an ancient Polynesian village
    • A teenager goes on an ocean adventure that involves the spirits of ancestors manifesting as animals
    • Said adventure begins because of a turtle
    • A symbolic necklace is important to the story
    • A supporting character is a hook-wielding demigod with tattoos
    • A large creature is hidden in a mountain
    • The crew is sucked into a whirlpool portal





  • If I am remembering correctly the creator was working on Peppa Pig and decided to go back home and design an Australian cartoon with a similar model.

    Obviously its no guarantee of Bluey’s success but it looks like Peppa has been running since 2004.

    Is long as they don’t include too many references to the fad of the moment (e.g.flossing) they can be evergreen as new kids age into the target demographic.

    My son was two when Bluey started and while he has aged of following it closely he still checks out the new episodes two or three times a year with a sense of nostalgia.
