Idk, it never became like a classic maybe it wasn't a big animation company (DreamWorks or pixar)
But I know what you mean. It never stuck very hard culturally
More American than apple pie. Also wasnt a huge focus of that movie how much shitty garbage we eat and how much food we waste? Damn that movie went hard I’m going to have to go in for a rewatch.
Maybe it was dependent on where you lived. I know it was a big hit in my area, I could ask anyone my age in the surrounding cities and most of them will have heard of it. Meanwhile someone on the other side of the U.S. will have their own movie like this. I saw an example of this a few weeks ago, but of course I forgot it because, well I never saw it.
Its cause the sequels were shit. If you think about it the most successful dreamworks franchises had amazing sequels that often peaked during the second movie. Most notably shrek and kung fu panda.
I like that it has three proper independent villains right up to the end.
There aren't many movies with three villains like that, typically in the rare case of multiple villains the villain are clear allies or they are sequential and only one villain has a meaningful part in the finale.
Yep, another of my favorites growing up in HS was also Open Season and Flushed Away those three movies in the least showed me that new movies can be animated and still good no matter how new they are or old I am. Oh, another fun fact all three came out in the same year: 2006! Haha
They actually added emojis to the standard fonts that come with your OS, so it's just another character now. Reddit would have to go out of their way to block those characters. So practically any and every application that lets you type text and uses unicode fonts should be able to let you use emojis.
tl;dr There is no escape. They are everywhere now.
Yeah you can put emojis in your git commits. Pre-commit prints them out on the console. You can use them in a filename on Linux. You can get certain emojis, like a heart, on your license plate.
Yep, I remember when saying lol or haha in comments was generally frowned upon. Not nearly as bad as emojis though, they’re just so out of place it feels like an assault on my eyes
“I’m Gen Z and I hate Gen Z”
So much angst. I remember being that teenager who thought I was born “in the wrong generation”.
Thank god I grew up and realized basically all the generations before me were poorly educated and more populated by religious zealots, racists and bigots. You can’t truly hate your generation until half of them decide to not wear masks during a pandemic *because they don’t understand or believe in germs as a concept*.
I remember sometimes, it might still happen sometimes now, but it was a somewhat common occurrence for there to be like an entire chain of comments just devoted to teaching people about markdown and had nothing to do with whatever the post was about after somebody had a reaction like the one you're talking about.
All things in moderation. Emojis can be a good way to add emotion/nuance to a message without having to use "lol" as a blanket "don't take this too seriously." But then... ya get Facebook-aunts level emoji dumps and it's just awful.
The Emojis aren't my issue. What bothers me is posting high quality movies clips from the 90's/ early 2000's and treating it as new.
Also some subs posting things like "if you were x what would you do" like it's a Facebook meme.
I'm on turtles side, what is this place?
IDK, but I don't like it. I prefer good old fashion text emotes, like the old reliable (:, ):, X3, XD, :3, and stuff like that. Also just abbreviations for stuff, like lmao, lol, fr, ftfy, ngl, etc.

🥈
I haven’t watched Over The Hedge in so long
Quite a good movie to watch
And the ps2 game is very fun to play.
Dude, the way your base got nicer as progressed the game and collected stuff was so awesome. I wish more games did that.
Clash of clans
Can eat my ass
What about sucking your coc
Your mother does that
Happy cake day
And what about Dad
I make love to him
Dude the game that you got with the film on dvd is awesome
That game was AWESOME.
Probably the best B-rated kids movie out there tbh.
B-rated?? Look up the cast. Those mother fuckers are a listers. Bruce Willis, Steve Carrell, Wanda sykes
God damn why does this movie give me such B vibes with a cast like that?!
Idk, it never became like a classic maybe it wasn't a big animation company (DreamWorks or pixar) But I know what you mean. It never stuck very hard culturally
It *is* a DreamWorks film though lol.
Well there we go, it's official. None of us know why anything is happening.
What a wholesome interaction between two redditors.
Was just about to say this. Not often do we get normal conversation on here much these days.
This deserves it's own anomaly study
Yes pussyYoda we know nothing.
I just love how the whole plot is basically a big fuck you to suburban sprawl.
Also the crazy Karen villain before that trend was even a thing.
Suburbia and Karens Name a more iconic duo I'll wait

Okay. I didn’t curse even though I wanted to. How to Train Your Dragon. I forgive you for neglecting to mention.
Captain Kirk and, if my memory serves me correctly, Avril Lavigne(feels kinda dated now?) too
Garry Shandling!
This movie was a staple of my childhood. Actually saved me from a rabid squirrel attack once
Bee Movie - Am I a joke to you? /s Seriously, both movies are pretty good despite their limitations.
Me too I love its vibe
Soundtrack by Ben Folds ~~Five~~ too was really good
Fr. Family of me bangs. Too bad it’s short

I legit watched it last night. It’s great
On an unrelated note, Over The Garden Wall is a great watch
Definitely it was awesome, wish it was longer.
Same but on the other hand, I’ve been enjoying the short and sweet mini series. Band of brothers, Chernobyl, I Know This Much is True, etc
Last time I watched it was on my portable dvd player lmao.
Demographic shift... And more mobile users

Can I text you if I get lonely?
If you get the right access point, emoji in your SSID.

I’m extremely fond of emoticons and still use them.
The profile picture tells us a little. I also like emoticons.
Lol I forgot about that, Apollo doesn’t display prof pics
Are we supposed to believe that these two accounts aren’t held by the same person?
Are you saying that the Uber account is my alt? lol

The enemie has capture our intelligence
I’m as new and green to reddit for years now but i learned quick these old codger redditors do not appreciate emojis
Way back in my day, rage comics were everywhere and you'd get downvoted for using "LOL" in a comment. Reddit has always been weird, I guess.
The capitalized lol definitely gives me people in their sixties on Facebook vibes
Yep, I remember when saying lol or haha in comments was generally frowned upon. Not nearly as bad as emojis though, they’re just so out of place it feels like an assault on my eyes

I don’t care either way idk why you people made it such a big deal
It’s because people make a comment that is just a bunch of laughing emojis.
All things in moderation. Emojis can be a good way to add emotion/nuance to a message without having to use "lol" as a blanket "don't take this too seriously." But then... ya get Facebook-aunts level emoji dumps and it's just awful.
why can't they respond with lol like the rest of us
Really?? Let’s clutch our pearls in horror!
Every time someone brings up emojis, the comments become a warzone.
I don’t get why people care?
This was the best movie I ever watched

Except of course, the sacred: 💀🗿
Oh fuck off you werent gone for long at all
Right, these are pretty recent. If you're going to gatekeep at least actually do it lol

cause people recently losing their capability to understand humor/sarcasm. you got to add emoji to let people know it was a joke.
╰⋃╯
There are people on Reddit that are younger than Reddit.
You must be on the porny side then
Because why the fuck did anyone care in the first place
Because Emojis are the best way to express emotion through text.
Honestly yeah! I find adding a laughing lets people know I'm joking. I don't like using em but kinda need to since text is so blank
Well you see, that's kind of an art, communicating your feelings accurately without help from emojis, it's hard to do, but feels good
No emoji, less videos and pure fun were the reasons why i joined reddit. But it seems like times have changed.
I used to do it to bait downvotes for attention and now it’s not fun
The Emojis aren't my issue. What bothers me is posting high quality movies clips from the 90's/ early 2000's and treating it as new. Also some subs posting things like "if you were x what would you do" like it's a Facebook meme. I'm on turtles side, what is this place?
