    This actually explains a lot of why Hoodwinked was The Weinstein Company’s only good animated movie. Cause like I said, neither Bob or even Harvey Weinstein had any involvement in Hoodwinked except for distributing it. Same goes for TMNT 2007 (which is very underrated in my opinion BTW)

      Sorcerer SMC Actually they were involved with the making of Hoodwinked.
      Y'see, the original cast was made up entirely of voice actors. But at the last minute, the Weinsteins forced them to get celebrities to get butts in seats. The only actors who remained were Patrick Warburton, David Ogden Stiers (though he ended up voicing only one of the two characters he originally played), and Andy (who's a) Dick since despite being voice actors themselves, were also recognizable enough to be considered celebrities.

      I know, right? That is more than double the time in which Hoodwinked Too's premiere was delayed. Also, since James Gandolfini died of a heart attack four months after Escape From Planet Earth's premiere, maybe it was better for him to not act in that movie - not because I think it would have been a bad way to end his career, even though it likely would have, but because that hardly leaves him any time left with the rest of Escape From Planet Earth's cast who have outlived him since unless they already acted with him in something else earlier.

    My mom taught me that while I can write characters for a film or a TV show with any living actors I have in mind, I should not waste so much time obsessing over it, and this story showed me how that can damage a production. Harvey Weinstein argued with other producers about what actors he wanted to play the main characters, paid some actors up front without having a designated character for them, and they wasted 75,000 dollars getting Kevin Bacon in and out of Escape From Planet Earth. It was the easiest money Kevin Bacon ever made. August 28, 2021, 3:20pm

      Also, Harvey was accused of rape and blackmail, while John was just mostly accused of giving awkward hugs, getting drunk, and being a pervert.
      That IS bad on it's own, but like you said, at least he knows how the animation process works, AND he usually knew when to step in and give a helping hand AND when to keep his hands off the production of a film and trust the creatives to do their jobs.

No one dare say "No" to his face unless you wanted to receive a tirade, insults and the occasional physical assault from him. The guy was a overgrown spoiled brat and bully.

    Seriously. With all the crap going down with Harvey, I think we all forget that they were both incredibly incompetent, and owe all their success to Oscar Bait films. Three words. Fraggle Rock Movie. Look into that one. The level of idiocy on the part of the Weinsteins and their stupid notes is legendary. Corey Edwards himself, who was going to write and direct, said that he was shocked how many of dumb lowest common denominator gags they wanted to shoehorn in actually happened in the Smurfs movie. Especially the random product placement for guitar hero. And it was clear that they bought up the rights and realized they didn't want it anymore and delayed the hell out of the production until the rights expired so they could walk away from it. It's also clear that the only partnership they wanted with Henson was back during their DTV parody fairy tale Shrek wannabe movie period. Just and AWFUL company run by AWFUL people who made AWFUL animated movies against the vision of those involved. Look at Hoodwinked 2. Everything that sucked about that movie was them. Notice how many of the worst jokes are ADR'd in when characters' backs are turned. That M&M's story sounds like something a child would do. A very poorly behaved child with mental problems. And we're surprised that he did the shit he did!

    I completely forgot it existed. Actually remembered seeing commercials for it in early 2013.

    I don’t know if AniMat mentioned this in the video itself or not but you know what’s the most painful part of this movie? Like, the part that physically hurts? It’s that Stephen Fry, a person who’s said to be one of the wisest, wittiest and funniest people currently living, was one of the writers for this movie

    Hey Mat. Maybe you should make a video on the history of "Norm of the North". I would like to know how that film became one of the worst animated films ever made.

    Bruh, there's no consistency in the movie's development history. The amount of rewrites entirely

    I find it interesting how Philip Glasser who was the voice of Fievel in An American Tail was a producer on this movie or at least that's what I read somewhere and there's a mouse-like character in this film
