More than you ever wanted to know about Oogieloves. It's meant to be a "Rocky Horror Picture Show for a family audience" meaning an interactive movie-going experience for preschoolers. The original idea was a Teletubbies movie but one of the creators wouldn't sign off so after a while they invented a new universe and characters instead. Here's the trailer...nothing says family friendly quite like a Nicki Minaj song. What the hell was that trailer about and why is Toni Braxton in it? It looked like someone's bad, bad acid trip (which is what I thought Telebtubbies always was). |

I guess Oogieloves is where you end up when Pixar and Dreamworks Animation aren't calling you to do voiceover work.

I watched the trailer with my eyebrows glued to my hairline. Where in heck did 20 million dollars go? My generous estimate is that movie cost 10 mill and the producer put the other 10 up his nose or in a Cayman Islands bank account.

Did I just see Christopher Lloyd in that trailer? Honestly, what did I just watch?

I'd say the other 10 mil went up someone's nose AND in a Cayman Islands bank account, to make more money to put up their nose. |

I feel like I saw a ton of them, and my broadcast TV viewing isn't particularly family-oriented (Gordon Ramsay, true-crime newsmagazines, the odd procedural). Or did they spring to advertise during the Olympics? This was masterminded by a marketing dude? What, was he so busy overseeing everything, he had to leave the marketing to the B-team? |

Yes! I had never heard of this thing until it was a record-breaking bomb, but a bunch of my friends who like crime procedurals and late-night television said the ads were all over their programming. Which is perplexing as these friends of mine don't have kids and their TV-viewing stays mostly in the 18+ range.
So what was marketing thinking? LOL. One of my friend's joked that they were trying to mess with the late-night college stoner crowd. But college stoners won't actually GO to the theater and see that. Yikes.

There's huge ads for it all over the movie theater I go to a lot, like they have them all up and down the escalator. I've never seen a commercial for it though.
