Probably the main reason why movies like The Lego Movie, the first Wreck-It-Ralph, and Chip N Dale worked is because they still had the focus be on the main characters, their stories, and their conflicts with all the crossover cameos being on the side for jokes to poke fun at them, while Wreck-It-Ralph 2 and Space Jam 2 were just Disney and WB shoving their IPs in your face for like an hour.
How is Ralph Breaks the Internet different from the first Wreck-it Ralph in that regard? The Oh My Disney scene lasted only 6 minutes, it was not like the entire plot of A New Legacy focusing on the WB server-verse.
I was going to say that. As Animat puts it, Strong writing is one of many reasons a movie (crossover, horror, anything) can work and thank lord The Lego movie isn’t like Disaster Movie (a live action movie) where Lego has references but it’s not the actual plot of the movie and it has a story of its own and the writing works perfectly well. Disaster Movie (way different than Lego, but still) is nothing bout just references, As I hate everything puts it. With Lego Movie the references serves has a reason for them to be in it, Disaster movie just has references that doesn’t really have a point to be in but to pad out the running time, absolutely unnecessary references, and it’s one big DISASTER. So you get the point… I hope.
The Rescue Rangers movie doesn't even focus on THE Rescue Rangers, more so the imposters that are posing as actors. Plus, I hear some of the "jokes" about the TV show itself are flat out LIES (Chip mentions an episode in the 100's when it only had 64/65 episodes overall). And I find the film itself a hate letter to the old school Disney when they allowed the film to disfigure/bootleg their own characters and even used the "Peter Pan controversy" to make the idea of your baddie possible. It is as big an insult as Space Jam 2 existing
I didn't realize Chip and Dale had even more references that aren't Disney characters. I honestly thought the reason why they got away with putting the ugly Sonic in there was because Paramount and Sega pretty much disowned the character and wanted absolutely nothing to do with it after making Sonic look much better in the final release of the first Sonic movie. as in there is no copyright holder for ugly Sonic so anybody could do what they please with that character I guess.
That's not how copyright works, Sonic is still copyrighted by Sega while the ugly design is probably copyrighted by Paramount since while the movie was never released with that design, the trailer was. You can disown copyrights, it's like a donation to the public domain, but companies don't do that, even things companies don't use for anything are still kept in a vault, this is why copyright needs a shorter deadline or at least some clauses to avoid orphan works and abandonware.
@@silverdamascus2023 Oh I see. I still think it would be funnier if Paramount had just decided to release the copyright if that ugly Sonic because they wanted nothing to do with it anymore.
@@muddashucka9743 Sega is fine with fans releasing fangames and fanarts, they don't care about fans making Sonic media as long as they don't use them to earn money, but companies that are already rich, or even richer than Sega, then it's different, Sega won't allow them to use Sonic without permission.
@@silverdamascus2023 Sega and Disney do have an interesting history together tho At one point in time, Disney was very close with Sega, more so than they were with other consoles. That was of course quite some time ago, when Sega was still in the Console War, but judging by the cameo Sonic made in Wreck-It-Ralph, it's possible that they've managed to remain on relatively good terms even after all this time, which explains why Sega would let Disney use Sonic in their films.

Hebrews 5:9 "salvation is for those who obey. Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments (John 14:15). He even says if you keep my commandments then you shall abide in my love (John 15:10).t
I too liked The Princesses' cameo in Wreck-It-Ralph 2. Even if the rest of the movie aged badly, They were definitely the Most Memorable Part of the movie, and it was nice how Their Voice Actresses got to reprise their roles. Plus their comfy outfits looked magnificent.
I'm very easily pleased when it comes to movies and shows, but Ralph Breaks the Internet was the first time I ever walked out of a theater disappointed. Like, you've already set up these amazing and unique characters!? In a beautifully imagined world that could have been further explored w/o leaving the arcade!? How do they mess up that badly!? Sure, we got the princess cameo, but that would have worked so wonderfully as a short instead of a full-length movie! Anyways, I'll just go back to pretending Wreck it Ralph is the perfect stand-alone film that definitely does *not* have a terrible sequel.
Okay, but what new story would you have wanted the sequel to do with Vanellope, Wreck-it Ralph and Fix-it Felix without having them go to the internet to save Sugar Rush?
Personally I think Crossover movies should be done more like Avengers movies. Have the characters that are crossing over with people be the focus and not have them have cameos cause “ha ha reference funny”. Speaking of reference humor, Only do reference humor when it’s an iconic humorous part of the character. For example you can do a muscle man “MY MOM” joke hit if he’s a core character in the story(as weird as it sounds) What I’m trying to say is make something a bit like the Nicktoons Unite games but without too much meta humor
In my opinion, the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the video game Kingdom Hearts, and an Iphone App game called Disney Heroes: Battle Mode all did a better job at crossing over.

4:32 UNFORTUNATELY I’d have to disagree. I think that, although it’s in my top ten movies of all time, the LEGO movie is the reason companies this can work. However, the companies forget that the IP’s aren’t the reason it was good, it was the humor and the story and the animation and the emotion
Another point you forgot is that usually, the main characters are original. Emmet, Ralph, Roger Rabbit, all of them were created specifically for the ip movie. This is a good thing, sometimes we're tired of seeing old done-to-death characters in a setting with already familiar characters. Chip and dale, while not original, might as well be because they are a kind of different versions of the chipmunks we've seen before and act differently with hints of their past versions.
I gotta say that Chip and Dale rescue rangers was a great movie. They added a lot of memorable cartoon characters kind of like Roger Rabbit did (He also made a cameo in the movie lol). The original characters like Bob the warrior, Bjornsen, and Jim the polar bear were enjoyable. Ugly Sonic was my favorite because I thought he was funny :)

Chip 'n' Dale might not be quite a spiritual successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit but it's certainly *SO MUCH* better then Space Jam A New Legacy even had to offer.
I agree with Ralph breaks the internet- I really loved all the colors and characters, but everything felt so forced- I couldn’t enjoy it without feeling like the characters put in were just there for advertisements! I was extremely upset when it came to Vannelope(probably didn’t spell that right) she was one of my favorite characters and I kinda feel like they ruined her character a bit..? I know it could be seen as development, but it came out of no where- sorry just a little rant, but they should’ve just kept the first movie
Plus, Ralph is a *video game character.* And I agree with him, why in God's name is this sequel solely about the freaking Internet. What about online gaming?! It's almost like the writers & directors didn't see or didn't give a sh!t about what the predecessor foretold in the first place!😠
What pisses me off more about Wreck it Ralph 2 is that the movie could've easily been about modern video games or modern online video games compared to how the last movie was focused on classic arcade games, or it could've been about some sort of problem with Litwacks Arcade. I know the second movie had slaughter race and online players, but it was pretty much the only part in the movie where Ralph and Vanelope go into video game or interact with characters from a modern video game rather than an old arcade game. What makes me even more angry is that the second movie focused on things like memes social media, UA-cam, flossing, and whatever the hell else kids are into these days while the first movie focused on a world within an arcade with a good story, plot, and one of the greatest plot twists in animation. They even made Ralph stupid in the sequel when we all know he was never stupid, he just wanted to be treated with respect. It WIW 1, When Felix says he doesn't know what it feels like to be treated poorly, Ralph says " That's every day of my life." And then he continues to talk about why he ran off in the first place. We know damn well that the Ralph in the second movie wouldn't have even done that.
Crossovers can be good like the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour but that was a show and not only that but characters got to interact. In the crossover movies I find they don’t give time for the characters to hang out
in my opinion, who framed roger rabbit was one of best ip movies bc they acknowledged that the characters that were there where now u can almost tell that they brought in the characters just so we could actually watch an incredibly dumb movie
@@griffinholmes8024 and even (I think) Jeff Fowler was interested in a Smash movie. I’m not worried about him Making one because he made Sonic as magnificent as he can since he did what fans wanted (Ugly Sonic replaced by Movie Sonic as example) and the sequel was more like a “Video Game” Movie but with Smash, not many characters talk so I wonder how they will help.
Well, "READY PLAYER ONE" was based on a book and the story was relatively the same, but the characters weren't so bland. If you're curious as to what I'm taking about, just read the book. Trust me, it's a good time.
It also had the f word in the book, and there would be jokes made about bad language in video games and getting banned for it. Also literal virtual reality school is a thing there.
The sequel to Wreck it Ralph is actually a good one using real brand and app logos gives me a realistic felling but the movie is for kids... Kids don't understand these references(even they presented it creatively) But i really hope to have a sequel so fans are justified and complaining about the worst moments of animations of thier life
If you’ve ever read the ready player one book, it handles the IP crossover so much better. Where most of it contributes the plot. How Parzival found the first key is that in the book, everyone from ages 6-18 has to go to a virtual high school. Parzivals high school is located on a grassland planet, nothing very interesting intel Parzival realizes the school he’s being going to for years was designed as an old D&nD dungeon. Through out the opening of the book there’s hints that the key is located on that planet. The set up is so much better. Even the speech that holiday provides in the opening teases the locations of the keys. I highly recommend the book Also the Lego movie is a masterpiece
0:47 Actually, according to the data mines from the game, there is a Lego Brick mechanic in the files. So it’s very most likely we’ll get Emmet in the game sometime in the future!
To see if a movie can have references and make sense, just see if the plot makes sense and then add references that can still be removed and still make the movie great without them.
I like crossovers with like similar movies mash up together, and they’re from that company. It makes the story expand a little more with that universe. I think AVP is a good example of this because they’re both aliens the only thing is they are not from the same companies but the feel of two over powered creature going face to face is really cool.
I didn't even really care that much about the cameos in Wreck It Ralph (the first one) and The Lego Movie when saw those movies because I was engaged in what the main characters were going through. The cameos/references were just a cute bonus, which is what they should be. In a bad movie, they're the only things worthy of note. Also this last sentence is completely unrelated to the rest of my comment but The Warners from Animaniacs have got to be in Multiversus like come one they are literally THE Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister)!
Awesomemay, I hate to chime my opinion in, but the Chip 'n Dale film is a ugly, pointless story that is an insult to the history of animation, the Rescue Rangers (who aren't the REAL focus or protagonists) and old school Disney. Why make Peter Pan evil and write his character transformation EERILY SIMILAR to what they did to the actor? Why make Ugly Sonic a big deal when it was the Sonic fanbase who spoke up enough to get him redesigned? Why ruin the image of the chipmunks by not having their usually squeaky voices? Why call it a "Rescue Rangers" movie when the Rangers are not ALL PRESENT and WORKING TOGETHER except for the pointless "separate then reunite" story for Chip and Dale? They are brothers, not randos who met at school and became actors. I hated this film concept since the first trailer and I cannot fathom why Disney would allow this "overstretched Adult Swim Robot Chicken Parody" on Disney Plus. They showed they gave no care/heart to it or the characters. And I find BOTH Wreck-It Ralph movies fun to watch. The sequel still works because it's like how seniors view the Internet (via Ralph).
I could go into a lot more because how much I hate it, but I'd gladly rewatch the more cleverly written Ralph Breaks the Internet or the "Direct to DVD" movies than Disney's live action hacks and the Chip 'n Dale insult movie. Also, you complain about the "online product placements", why would you find it annoying when the INTERNET is the focus of the film? They don't need to go to Steam gaming or such. The internet jokes work more
If you want a good crossover, just look at "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" It's a crossover movie, it mixes live action and animation, it's set in a timeless era, it has serious themes and tones, you can feel for all the main characters, etc.
Funfact: there are rumors that Multiversus was originaly planed to be a Disney Crossover game because in the gamefiles of the beta there was a ralph Atm
Does somebody remember „Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescure”? It was a pretty great crossover 90s cartoons movie, which was telling the kids about the dangers of taking drugs. Also, not gonna lie, I think we need more cartoons about the harmfulness of such substances like drugs and alcohol.
Ahhhhhh, the OK K.O Sonic episode!! Glad it was included even though it wasn't talked about, definetly one of my favourite shows and one of my favourite crossovers just due to my adoration for both properties! I love your content and I'm so excited for you to get to 100k, you deserve it!! Stay awesome :)
I really hate that Ready Player One had such a weak plot. The book had a great story with crazy action sequences and the plot in the movie is so one dimensional and bland. Wade Watts has the least interesting background in the movie, but in the book he was fleshed out perfectly.
Wreck it Ralph 2 also went against the original restrictions the first movie had set up. Venelope goes to the racing game oblivious of the fact how they have to always be in the arcade
One thing I would add about these IP/Crossover movies is that if done poorly, it dates them BADLY. The "Oh My Disney" scene in "Ralph 2" is based on Disney's take on "Buzzfeed" but with Disney. That website is no longer around because Buzzfeed stopped being relevant, so now "Ralph 2" has a whole scene that's outdated and barely saved by the IPs involved. In trying to capture people's attention now with quick trends you end up outdating yourself. Movies may have stories that take place in a specific time period, but that can also make them timeless if the story is done right and the characters are memorable. That's why a movie like "Turning Red" can take place in 2002 and show off the culture and lifestyle off that decade and still be enjoyed by many because at its core its a story about growing up, learning to love yourself, and gain love and acceptance from family.
One of the only crossovers in recent years with multiple IPs owned by different companies that worked really well that I can think of is LEGO Dimensions Aside from the novelty of owning LEGO versions of characters like Scooby, Harry Potter and Sonic the Hedgehog, the main reason it worked is because the franchises were important to the story (14 of them at least) Not to mention, Traveller’s Tales have put a lot of care and passion into paying tribute and making references to these franchises with minimal restrictions, so LEGO Dimensions is not a clustered IP mess like Space Jam 2 or Ralph Breaks the Internet
I remember seeing you on kids skit back in (2016???2015?), then like a year ago and I wondered "what happened to that dude, didn't he start UA-cam". Then looking you up and screaming my head off about how well you've improved and the projects you've made! Crazy how I still look up to you, even after all these years. Awesomemay, you're the bomb, keep up the good work; I can't wait to see what you do in the 5 years!
i question a lot of things with youtube and i doubt myself but man does this comment lift my spirits a bit :) so glad u found me again and skit was such a fun time
@@Awesomemay And I'm glad I found you again! I always find myself reminiscing over the old days when I went by marionettegirl ( such a stupid name). But one thing that never changed was my constant support for my fellow members! Congratulations on 100k You deserved it
Zooms in on randy whilst talking about references to non-Disney products and says “YET” made me laugh so hard my parents woke up and told me to go to sleep on thanksgiving break lmfao.
Amazing video! So free Ralph Break the internet is garbage and the original is amazing. Same for Lego movie, first is great but second is pretty bad. You are one of my favorite UA-camrs that I always like to come back to! Also, 4:06 was hilarious
Yeah the lego movie idea makes sense with how there's multiple separated lego sets and how it's shown in the ending that the son brought them together to make things (as opposed to what the dad wants)
In the future, I would like to make a fan-made huge crossover movie or game, any tips on how to actually make it good instead of it being a cringe fest lol
Honestly, ever since No Way Home became popular, it feels even more apparent that many companies do crossovers just to promote rather than tell an actual story. Like crossovers would work if they're clever enough or if the setting makes it legitimate (i.e. Wreck-It-Ralph has video game characters who act as heroes or villains as their job, The Lego Movie is about Lego stuff, including ones based on other IP and Chip n Dale is about animation in general). I mean Chip n Dale would've been interesting if: 1) they focus more on the Chip n Dale cast and give like the others maybe more roles and 2) they swap out Sweet Pete for a more interesting villain or maybe alter his backstory so that it doesn't feel like an insult to Bobby Driscoll's life (with all the "former child stars who were mistreated after reaching puberty and sunk very low in their adulthood" which would've been interesting if they bothered to put effort) Many of these new crossover stuff feels like I'm just watching one long VR Chat gameplay.
0:27 I do agree with Nick All Star Brawl, but Muliversus is a pretty good game. They have a higher budget than NASB and are putting more time and effort into the game and are pleasing everyone with the roster (Also Emmet was leaked to be in the game) However, I do agree with you with the rest of the video
The ready Player One book is better, and it has a reason for all the references, the book had them, and it’s not like the Author owned Atari or some of the 80-00’s shows
my problem with ready player one is that there weren't nearly enough furries. you're telling me that this vr world spans the entire world and there isn't a single furry? ridiculous.
Honestly Peter Pan being like what 40? 50? Was kinda funny I spat out a little of my drink when I saw him jump of his desk saying HELLO then like 6 minutes later tells bob to throw at axe at him lol...
@@dylansharp8471 It was similiar to the new she-hulk, using references to be entertaining when without them it would be quite bland when the actual movie is already quite boring, just go watch dumbsvilles video on it.
security breach a fnaf game was basically only good because of the references and nostalgia. honestly it doesn’t make sense either why reference everything your trying to cover up? it doesn’t make sense to me. so the IP doesn’t really doesn’t work in security breach.
Sometimes movies that are like this can be great such as The Lego Movie or Wreck-it-Ralph, but there are some movies that don't follow the same formula such as The Emoji Movie. but if movie studios only use these cameos for comedic purposes, it makes these movies so much better.
So I actually liked ready player one I have read the book too and the point is that wade the main character is a nobody and it also goes into a lot more detail in the book about who he is
Probably the main reason why movies like The Lego Movie, the first Wreck-It-Ralph, and Chip N Dale worked is because they still had the focus be on the main characters, their stories, and their conflicts with all the crossover cameos being on the side for jokes to poke fun at them, while Wreck-It-Ralph 2 and Space Jam 2 were just Disney and WB shoving their IPs in your face for like an hour.

It WIW 1, When Felix says he doesn't know what it feels like to be treated poorly, Ralph says " That's every day of my life." And then he continues to talk about why he ran off in the first place. We know damn well that the Ralph in the second movie wouldn't have even done that.
Crossovers can be good like the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour but that was a show and not only that but characters got to interact. In the crossover movies I find they don’t give time for the characters to hang out
in my opinion, who framed roger rabbit was one of best ip movies bc they acknowledged that the characters that were there where now u can almost tell that they brought in the characters just so we could actually watch an incredibly dumb movie
We need a smash bros movie that would be a successful crossover movie
THAT OR KINDGOM HEARTS MOVIE WOULD BE DOPE
@@Awesomemay a smash bots movie would be cool
@@Awesomemay Nintendo actually might be working on more movies for a cinematic universe way beyond the Mario movie
do what Netflix did but you know adapt good fanfics
its insane how good Smash fanfics can be
I would kill for a whole series
@@griffinholmes8024 and even (I think) Jeff Fowler was interested in a Smash movie. I’m not worried about him
Making one because he made Sonic as magnificent as he can since he did what fans wanted (Ugly Sonic replaced by Movie Sonic as example) and the sequel was more like a “Video Game” Movie but with Smash, not many characters talk so I wonder how they will help.
Well, "READY PLAYER ONE" was based on a book and the story was relatively the same, but the characters weren't so bland. If you're curious as to what I'm taking about, just read the book. Trust me, it's a good time.
ive read some of the book! i like it :D
@@Awesomemay I hate you
It also had the f word in the book, and there would be jokes made about bad language in video games and getting banned for it. Also literal virtual reality school is a thing there.
Your better animating and editing always is making me surprised and satisfied :)
hopefully ill add a lot more animated segments in future vids :D
@@Awesomemay nice
May is one of the most underrated youtubers!! So entertaining and has a consistent upload schedule:)
Yea! :D
THANK YOU :))
Agreed all day man!!!
Ikr, there must be a lot of effort put into the videos honestly
also tbhk fan???
4:06 wait,that's the voice of valskibum94!
Yep
The sequel to Wreck it Ralph is actually a good one using real brand and app logos gives me a realistic felling but the movie is for kids... Kids don't understand these references(even they presented it creatively) But i really hope to have a sequel so fans are justified and complaining about the worst moments of animations of thier life
Tbh the only crossovers I like are in shows, like when this show character teleports into this other show
Like The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour
Like Generator rex and Ben 10: Heroes United

ohhh man those are so fun
*odd squad*
Great as always! The animation is great, and I agree with most of your points.
thanks dude :D
Yea, I remember when he had 20k subs, keep growing my dude! 👍
Chip 'n Dale is a 5/10 at best. It was entertaining but the animation was icky.
The 2.5-D was at least but the regular 2-D and CG looked great. 7/10 for me
If you’ve ever read the ready player one book, it handles the IP crossover so much better. Where most of it contributes the plot. How Parzival found the first key is that in the book, everyone from ages 6-18 has to go to a virtual high school. Parzivals high school is located on a grassland planet, nothing very interesting intel Parzival realizes the school he’s being going to for years was designed as an old D&nD dungeon. Through out the opening of the book there’s hints that the key is located on that planet. The set up is so much better. Even the speech that holiday provides in the opening teases the locations of the keys. I highly recommend the book
Also the Lego movie is a masterpiece
Wait, there's a book?
@@SPYROSTSABOURIS yep. I think it's actually a series, even.
@@SPYROSTSABOURIS yeah and it’s awesome
To this day I still love the fact that Mortal Kombat was referenced in a Disney film, Wreck-It-Ralph was great.
0:47 Actually, according to the data mines from the game, there is a Lego Brick mechanic in the files. So it’s very most likely we’ll get Emmet in the game sometime in the future!
Hopefully in early 2024
@@Multifandomblossuhh idk did they
0:45 they will add emmet but its not really soon
To see if a movie can have references and make sense, just see if the plot makes sense and then add references that can still be removed and still make the movie great without them.
I like crossovers with like similar movies mash up together, and they’re from that company. It makes the story expand a little more with that universe. I think AVP is a good example of this because they’re both aliens the only thing is they are not from the same companies but the feel of two over powered creature going face to face is really cool.
Awesomemay: The 2 IP games we have are multiversus and Nickelodeon all star brawl
Me: Multiversus isn’t even released
6:41 Schaffrillas: Thank you, someone else said it
Bro ur soo underrated yet so loved, keeping the style and the editing the same and consistent. Pls keep it up!
thanks cwis! i appreciate it :D
I didn't even really care that much about the cameos in Wreck It Ralph (the first one) and The Lego Movie when saw those movies because I was engaged in what the main characters were going through. The cameos/references were just a cute bonus, which is what they should be. In a bad movie, they're the only things worthy of note.
Also this last sentence is completely unrelated to the rest of my comment but The Warners from Animaniacs have got to be in Multiversus like come one they are literally THE Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister)!
7:36 JACK HORNER VOICE ACTOR MOMENT
Awesomemay, I hate to chime my opinion in, but the Chip 'n Dale film is a ugly, pointless story that is an insult to the history of animation, the Rescue Rangers (who aren't the REAL focus or protagonists) and old school Disney. Why make Peter Pan evil and write his character transformation EERILY SIMILAR to what they did to the actor? Why make Ugly Sonic a big deal when it was the Sonic fanbase who spoke up enough to get him redesigned? Why ruin the image of the chipmunks by not having their usually squeaky voices? Why call it a "Rescue Rangers" movie when the Rangers are not ALL PRESENT and WORKING TOGETHER except for the pointless "separate then reunite" story for Chip and Dale? They are brothers, not randos who met at school and became actors.
I hated this film concept since the first trailer and I cannot fathom why Disney would allow this "overstretched Adult Swim Robot Chicken Parody" on Disney Plus. They showed they gave no care/heart to it or the characters. And I find BOTH Wreck-It Ralph movies fun to watch. The sequel still works because it's like how seniors view the Internet (via Ralph).
I could go into a lot more because how much I hate it, but I'd gladly rewatch the more cleverly written Ralph Breaks the Internet or the "Direct to DVD" movies than Disney's live action hacks and the Chip 'n Dale insult movie. Also, you complain about the "online product placements", why would you find it annoying when the INTERNET is the focus of the film? They don't need to go to Steam gaming or such. The internet jokes work more
If you want a good crossover, just look at "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" It's a crossover movie, it mixes live action and animation, it's set in a timeless era, it has serious themes and tones, you can feel for all the main characters, etc.
Funfact: there are rumors that Multiversus was originaly planed to be a Disney Crossover game because in the gamefiles of the beta there was a ralph Atm
Does somebody remember „Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescure”? It was a pretty great crossover 90s cartoons movie, which was telling the kids about the dangers of taking drugs. Also, not gonna lie, I think we need more cartoons about the harmfulness of such substances like drugs and alcohol.
i like disney movies a lot. but theyre just doing so much sometimes that it feels like theyre going in for the money
Me too!
0:28
"Actually there's 3"
Meme reference
The only movie that’s a crossover I like is Wreak It Ralph
Ahhhhhh, the OK K.O Sonic episode!! Glad it was included even though it wasn't talked about, definetly one of my favourite shows and one of my favourite crossovers just due to my adoration for both properties! I love your content and I'm so excited for you to get to 100k, you deserve it!! Stay awesome :)
I really hate that Ready Player One had such a weak plot. The book had a great story with crazy action sequences and the plot in the movie is so one dimensional and bland. Wade Watts has the least interesting background in the movie, but in the book he was fleshed out perfectly.
If you don’t know the people that’s on the goon squad it’s like the first movie basketball players turn into monsters
Wreck it Ralph 2 also went against the original restrictions the first movie had set up. Venelope goes to the racing game oblivious of the fact how they have to always be in the arcade
0:47 Sadly, Warner Bros. no longer has the rights to any Lego Movie characters.
Remember that Ready Player One was a book first!
I’ll be excited for when you hit 100K subscribers!
One thing I would add about these IP/Crossover movies is that if done poorly, it dates them BADLY. The "Oh My Disney" scene in "Ralph 2" is based on Disney's take on "Buzzfeed" but with Disney. That website is no longer around because Buzzfeed stopped being relevant, so now "Ralph 2" has a whole scene that's outdated and barely saved by the IPs involved. In trying to capture people's attention now with quick trends you end up outdating yourself. Movies may have stories that take place in a specific time period, but that can also make them timeless if the story is done right and the characters are memorable. That's why a movie like "Turning Red" can take place in 2002 and show off the culture and lifestyle off that decade and still be enjoyed by many because at its core its a story about growing up, learning to love yourself, and gain love and acceptance from family.
One of the only crossovers in recent years with multiple IPs owned by different companies that worked really well that I can think of is LEGO Dimensions
Aside from the novelty of owning LEGO versions of characters like Scooby, Harry Potter and Sonic the Hedgehog, the main reason it worked is because the franchises were important to the story (14 of them at least)
Not to mention, Traveller’s Tales have put a lot of care and passion into paying tribute and making references to these franchises with minimal restrictions, so LEGO Dimensions is not a clustered IP mess like Space Jam 2 or Ralph Breaks the Internet
I remember seeing you on kids skit back in (2016???2015?), then like a year ago and I wondered "what happened to that dude, didn't he start UA-cam". Then looking you up and screaming my head off about how well you've improved and the projects you've made! Crazy how I still look up to you, even after all these years. Awesomemay, you're the bomb, keep up the good work; I can't wait to see what you do in the 5 years!
i question a lot of things with youtube and i doubt myself but man does this comment lift my spirits a bit :)
so glad u found me again and skit was such a fun time
@@Awesomemay And I'm glad I found you again! I always find myself reminiscing over the old days when I went by marionettegirl ( such a stupid name).
But one thing that never changed was my constant support for my fellow members!
Congratulations on 100k
You deserved it
Zooms in on randy whilst talking about references to non-Disney products and says “YET” made me laugh so hard my parents woke up and told me to go to sleep on thanksgiving break lmfao.
Amazing video! So free Ralph Break the internet is garbage and the original is amazing. Same for Lego movie, first is great but second is pretty bad. You are one of my favorite UA-camrs that I always like to come back to! Also, 4:06 was hilarious
7:19 why was They Live on there
lego movie is great though. the cameos make sense because the lego brand. but even then its not focused on the cameos, which is nice to see
Similar thing applies to Wreck-It-Ralph
Yeah the lego movie idea makes sense with how there's multiple separated lego sets and how it's shown in the ending that the son brought them together to make things (as opposed to what the dad wants)
@@roxassora2706 with the first one, i agree
In the future, I would like to make a fan-made huge crossover movie or game, any tips on how to actually make it good instead of it being a cringe fest lol
I want to make one too!
I never had a crossover before because my channel is pretty small. But I should probably find someone that’s an animation for stuff in common
Also they had a crossover with spongbob it’s called the title zone
Great video as always with lots of good points! But speaking of crossovers, wanna do one? 😉

Ok ko
@@ImAPersonHehehehaw THANK YOU
You made great videos buddy! Your animating and editing skills were excellent and top notch! Keep up the excellent work! 👍
i would watch the lego Batman movie ever day, like would memorize MOST ALL THE LINE ITS JUST AAAAH SO GOOD
What about the characters from the lego movie?
Honestly, ever since No Way Home became popular, it feels even more apparent that many companies do crossovers just to promote rather than tell an actual story. Like crossovers would work if they're clever enough or if the setting makes it legitimate (i.e. Wreck-It-Ralph has video game characters who act as heroes or villains as their job, The Lego Movie is about Lego stuff, including ones based on other IP and Chip n Dale is about animation in general).
I mean Chip n Dale would've been interesting if: 1) they focus more on the Chip n Dale cast and give like the others maybe more roles and 2) they swap out Sweet Pete for a more interesting villain or maybe alter his backstory so that it doesn't feel like an insult to Bobby Driscoll's life (with all the "former child stars who were mistreated after reaching puberty and sunk very low in their adulthood" which would've been interesting if they bothered to put effort)
Many of these new crossover stuff feels like I'm just watching one long VR Chat gameplay.
0:47 I died of laughter when i saw Emmet
2:01 *Strong Garfiel.*
Don’t dis ready player one bit until you read the book
What was the audio he used when knuckles was about to punch sonic in the sonic review video
0:27 I do agree with Nick All Star Brawl, but Muliversus is a pretty good game. They have a higher budget than NASB and are putting more time and effort into the game and are pleasing everyone with the roster (Also Emmet was leaked to be in the game)
However, I do agree with you with the rest of the video
when your fav movie is ready player one
What was that sonic & CN crossover? Asking for a friend
3:40 why is there a naked lady……
1:28 amogus. Funny.
Sus Moment
1:29 Ah yes the amogus imposter is a pop culture villain
(I dont care if it isn't the amogus imposter at least he looks like it)
I actually love crossover movies! Crossover movies are some of my favorite movies!
Why is everyone hating on Wreck It Ralph 2? To anyone who says that, I respect your opinion, but uh which movie got more money, huh?
One thing im still confused about from the Chip n Dale movie
I thought that Chip was the red nosed one and Dale was the black nosed one?
There is no way in hell this man put chip and dale rescue rangers in this video as something to talk about
Yeah
The ready Player One book is better, and it has a reason for all the references, the book had them, and it’s not like the Author owned Atari or some of the 80-00’s shows
Congrats on almost reaching 100K subscribers.
0:35 You’d be surprised about how many people called multiversus the next smash bros. (And how many people want Ben 10 to be in it)
my problem with ready player one is that there weren't nearly enough furries. you're telling me that this vr world spans the entire world and there isn't a single furry? ridiculous.
so who’s gonna tell him that emmet is now in multiVerses
4:01 true but the credit song is fire
When you were talking about ready player one and you said great character cameos everyone loves was that tracer from over watch next to you
Honestly Peter Pan being like what 40? 50? Was kinda funny I spat out a little of my drink when I saw him jump of his desk saying HELLO then like 6 minutes later tells bob to throw at axe at him lol...
3:06 Will the Sequel have Power Rangers in it?
The new chip and dale movie is just: "You can't hurt my feelings if i'm in on the joke"
Huh?
@@dylansharp8471 It was similiar to the new she-hulk, using references to be entertaining when without them it would be quite bland when the actual movie is already quite boring, just go watch dumbsvilles video on it.
security breach a fnaf game was basically only good because of the references and nostalgia. honestly it doesn’t make sense either why reference everything your trying to cover up? it doesn’t make sense to me. so the IP doesn’t really doesn’t work in security breach.
2:05 no may....... I NEED AN EXCUSE TO HAVE THE CHIP N DALE MOVIE IN THIS VIDEO
👁️👄👁️ what
Again…. 👁️👄👁️ WHAT???
alright, I now know what I'm watching for movie night this Friday. no more searching for 1 hour just to watch an episode of Buffy instead!
You never fail to make a awsome video I subbed
The ready player 1 book was just 😙👌
Sometimes movies that are like this can be great such as The Lego Movie or Wreck-it-Ralph, but there are some movies that don't follow the same formula such as The Emoji Movie. but if movie studios only use these cameos for comedic purposes, it makes these movies so much better.
How are you not an animating legend, your videos are awesome!!
So I actually liked ready player one I have read the book too and the point is that wade the main character is a nobody and it also goes into a lot more detail in the book about who he is
This is a brilliant concept.
But a debatable time for a video.
