Everything Wrong With Call of the Wild In Fake-Looking-Dog Minutes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- The Call of the Wild is a pretty average film. Let's forget that the story has already been filmed before... this is just a bland retelling that doesn't bring anything new to the table EXCEPT Harrison Ford. And he's trying less here than he did during the "still in carbonite" scenes in Return of the Jedi.
But even beyond the fake-ass dog, this movie has sins, dude. LOTS of sins!
Thursday: Comedy sins
No movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we count next?

“Buck had no idea where he was, where he had been, where he was going...” so just like a regular dog
describes just about every new recruit ever.
so, he's dumbo donald then
In the book, he's a dog, just a St Bernard that had been stolen, then goes feral. I'm glad I never saw the movie, I hate seeing my favorite books destroyed.
Speaking of uncanny CGI animals, are you ever going to sin _Cats?_
Would the Musical Numbers make it hard to sin?
The movie itself is a sin
He'll just show the whole movie
Sweetie, he has to have the stamina to watch that shitshow.
The poor sin counter already seen hell let's not bring it back to hell.
The most surprising thing watching this was finding out that Karen Gillian is in this movie for a whole two scenes and does absolutely nothing of note. I can only assume she really wanted to work with either Harrison Ford or an uncanny valley CGI dog.
An she's not at all Nebula either
so probably got paid more for those two seconds than her whole DW run so it's fine. easy money!
Did you see the new "React to Good and Bad CGI" that covers this? The CGI dog is actually played by a dude in a MoCap suit walking around like a dog. Harrison Ford even had to give him an ear and belly scratch.
Did you know bungee gum has the properties of rubber and gum?
@@Higsby100 JangKenPo!
The two books are mirror images of each other. The Call of the Wild is about a previously easy-going pet surviving and becoming, well, wild. While White Fang is about a practically feral wolf-dog becoming tame and eventually a family pet.
I figured I wasn't the only one who noticed that! I liked them both. One finding home and belonging in the wild, the other finding it in with humans and civilization.
YEAH! Was just thinking of commenting on this :) I don't normally comment on these videos but when he sinned the similarity and called them the same book I was like, "BOI, if you don't-"
i have like a 2-in-1 kinda book and its still to this day my favorite book
Lion King: "Too little emotion"
Cats: "Too much emotion"
COTW: "perfect!" *slams movie to the ground* "I hate emotion"
I'm assuming you mean the remake of Lion King. I haven't seen it, but I know you're not saying the original didn't have any emotion.
Charles duh
Nice courage reference XD
@@jasminecook7360 glad someone got it lol
They denied themselves all the benefits of having a real dog, and also denied themselves of all the benefits of having an animated dog.
Talk about the worst of both worlds.
A great way to put it! : ). I didn't see the movie but couldn't imagine caring about an obviously fake dog.
@@jpsned and that is why the story fails, in Ilse of Dogs...the dogs are obviously not real, but it still hammers you in the heart.
I'm just not understanding why they didn't have a real dog. Was it because COTW has Buck involved in violent and dangerous situations? Couldn't they have just used CGI for those scenes and a real dog for the rest? The previous Call of the Wild film used a real dog.
@@mangaanimefan3089 switching between CGI and real life would be too jarring
@@mangaanimefan3089 Feel the same. Trying to get into it on TV, but can’t b/c of the fake dog.
Will change channels...🐾
*"I was trying to give you space to mourn your two-legged friend, but now I'm beginning to feel neglected."*
This one had me rolling on the floor XD
Yowatsapp 05 wait till you have a girlfriend, little zoomer.
Same! LOL 🤣😂🤣😂
were you doing a...roll over ;)
I don’t understand why they really needed CGI though since dogs are probably the easiest animal to act with, besides they used real dogs in movies like 8-below which is kind of similar
CGI animals are fine, but why do the dogs look like garbage? this is Disney, the same company that made that crappy, word for word, scene for scene (but with some extra songs and scenes thrown in) Lion king movie. But at least the animals *looked* amazing. Never understood how movie companies seem to pump out an amazing movie, and later on make a movie that looks like garbage by comparison.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 nothing is so super wrong with an exact remake tho. Also extra stuff was added
8 Below is a great flick.
I changed the channel on this fake version of ‘call’.
Use real dogs, or don’t do it.
This has only a passing resemblance to Jack London’s novel. Buck does not cure alcoholism!
If the movie was exactly like the book, it would probably not be a kids movie, with the amount of brutal ways dogs die in it XD
@@dinobunny4238 I remember Buck killing a bunch of First Nations Warriors too
Nope. Death does.
asdasdasd
To be fair, cold turkey has a higher percentage of success than joining a cult like AA haha
So honestly having Buck cure it is more likely than that crap
Whenever I went to go see this movie I was so upset at the fact that it was NOTHING like the book. The book makes it realistic, and still gives Buck a personality like the movie does but without making it seem like the dog is magic or something. The movie honestly makes the amazing story look bad and I wanted to rip my eyes out several times in the theater.
White fang is better honestly and this one's felt like a beta test.
Yeah, can't expect depth from Hollywood. The book is supposed to be a psychological drama into the dog's psyche, as it transforms from a tame pet to a feral animal, disillusioned with the human world from horrible acts of violence it witnesses, but all Hollywood sees is "story about a dog! It must be a children's story I'm guessing!"
Man I do have to say tho, I loved reading Jack London's stuff
especially the Sea Wolf I think it was called?
@@kurtgrgelwrx8376 lmao you cant read, quit foolin 😂😂😂
Androidbirds , really? I absolutely love the book. It doesn’t start off action packed, but it gets very exciting
The wonders of modern cinema should make me feel excited when they announce an adaptation to a book I love, but that was totally crushed when they decided to make it a family friendly movie. Even IF the dog didn't look terrible, I would've looked past it if it was a decent adaptation.
This book is cruel. Much like White Fang, it's about the raw unforgivable reality of that time, both to nature and mankind itself. This book doesn't have a happy ending. But it still manages to be very heartfelt and I love it and I'm very disappointed they couldn't adapt it as the bloody bittersweet thing that it is.
If you want a faithful adaptation to Call of the Wild, check out the anime adaptation and the 1997 adaptation starring Rutger Hauer.
@@abetheconservationist595 I've watched the movie before but couldn't find the anime in any of my usual websites :( I'll keep looking though, I had no idea it existed!
Well, a lot of humans die but Buck found his family in a wolf pack, had many descendants and lived free the rest of his days, soooo...not all bad, right? Silver linings and all that!
I know the "bad guy" dog wasn't necessary, but Spitz plays an important role in the book and they probably didn't want to throw him out completely.
The CGI version of Steele from Balto
Totally this is a vital part of the book
One request: DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story
Yes great idea
U are dedicated u have said this on every vid
I think it’s coming Thursday
YES!
Sam Sharp yes
The dog model itself is realistic, but it's all the emotions that make it look so, _wrong_
Right? Its not necessarily the dog itself but the fact it shows more emotions than an actual dog
The way he moves and his facial expressions literally look like what Scooby Doo would look like if he was just a tad more realistic.
The emotions, the moves he makes and the whole way it moved seems off. I was really reminded of Marmaduke
Exactly. Seeing a realistic dog's face move as though it has human musculature underneath is SO deep in the uncanny valley for me that there's just no climbing back out. I really find it a bit uncomfortable to watch.
Just in general the movement is off. The motion blur isn't quite right. The lighting is also too cartoony in quite a few shots.
There's no law requiring trains to operate "in the right lane." Each track is signalled in both directions, so any train can use any track in any direction as needed.
Nobody cares. He's obviously providing satire, which is why we watch.
hello THIS.IS.FOR.COMEDY.!!!
@@Shock_Treatment Except that not how this started and should be about.
Also, how is this satire? Satire should be funny.
@@Shock_Treatment it isn't satire if he spouts it as fact.
@@IIARROWS omg, I read that in Jeremy's voice.
Remember when they made Homeward Bound? We need real animals in movies again lol
Watch Togo instead, a movie with a similar premise, with REAL dogs, 3 times cheaper than this CGI shitshow and also 10 times better.
unless cgi and movements get better
@@troppie7823 they did. Maybe not here
@@NiPeMiRecenziiFilme At least 100 times better. Togo is an actual film, not to be mentioned with this filth.
Recent movies with excellent animal acting: Togo, Pet Semetary, A Dog's Journey, A Dog's Way Home, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Lady and the Tramp (live action) ... maybe you should re-evaluate your movie watching habits. Hollywood never stopped training animals, there are just more movies without them - but also still plenty with them.
Cujo had a pretty good dog actor and that movie came out 37 years ago. Wtf happened?
Disney's ego
Disney also made Togo recently, an amazing film with many real animals. Not to mention the real cats used in the Pet Semetary remake ... maybe you are simply not watching the right films ...
They just don't want to be accused of animal cruelty, I guess.
Stupid Dog Union won't let them work like they did back in the 80's.
That’s a classic! Disney is Garbage
I'm surprised you didn't use the, "We named the DOG Indiana!" line in the outtakes.
Aww damn I didn’t even think of that, missed opportunity lolol
i remember seeing the trailer for this movie, thinking it was gonna be one thing, watching the movie, and realizing it was the exact opposite of what i expected
As a US train conductor I can certainly attest to the fact there is no "lane" or correct main track to be in either right or left.
The correct lane to be in is the one with no other trains in it besides yours.... unless they're going in the same direction you are.
Why couldn’t they use a REAL dog for this movie?
MegaSoulHero, IKR!
Because then Harrison Ford wouldn’t be allowed to yell at something cgi. Duh
Real dogs can't give as many facial expressions and react the same
MegaSoulHero Wouldn’t surprise me if it was because they didn’t want to deal with PETA (and liberals) backlash
@@operatorarchangel The Incredible Journey begs to differ.
It already has two dislikes 42 seconds in you know damn well they didn’t watch the video 🤣
People who like the movie can’t let it take criticism.
Hi, new to the channel commenter.
Cinemasins have some dedicated haters, mostly from the birdman camp
@@itzimperiumxvi2620 birdman? Can you go more in detail?
4:48 "Spitz" is an actual dog name. And a common one, too!
most common is "dog"
Is your name Spitz? That's German, isn't it? Why, you're just as sweet as a -- - Fantastic Mr. Fox
I don't know a single dog named "Spitz" but I do know 4 dogs named "Joey" lol.
For those who care, War Horse's Joey was never stolen, only sold to the army and later used by a different army
didn't they force him to give up his horse? just because they paid the boy some money doesn't mean they didn't take the horse by force.
@@NightshadeGoddess His father sold the horse.
May as well not have called it "The Call of the Wild." The only link between the two is that it's a story about a dog called Buck.
Everyone realizes that there was no "roll credits" moment right ?
You should watch more CinemaSins, that happens a lot.
The "evil husky antagonist" was actually in the book, IIRC.
You know.. he SAYS to remember their motto on books right in this video.
And it may have not been a tired, worn out trope back then.
It's been a long time since I've read it, or read one version of the story but wasn't "buck" half wolf?
I also seem to remember a version where all the dogs were paleolithic domestic wolves but that may have been another story entirely.
I watched the movie when it came out and I read the book about 4 years ago hoping for Spitz to get eaten by the dogs after Buck killed him in the book, but it didn't happen because the movie is supposed to be family friendly. But Spitz did deserve it in the book. As someone said, "It's a dog eat dog world."
Edit: Sorry for the people who didn't read the book.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 No, you confused the story from White Fang from the same authour.
That husky is basically Steel from Balto.
Halfway through this video (Around when the wolf love interest was introduced), I started wondering if this was supposed to be a prequel to Balto. Dogsleds, wolf-dog pups, Balto's mother being a pure white wolf...
I think that the Balto movies did in fact take inspiration from London's works, most notably Call of the Wild (because there isn't really much room in a kid's movie about sled dogs bringing medicine to Nome for White Fang shenanigans). The first movie definitely doesn't much resemble the story of the real Balto.
Call of the Wild was one of my favorite mandatory books to read. I couldn't even tell they were supposed to be the same story for ages, still unsure in all honesty.
Also, wrong: Call Of the Wild is about a dog being wilded. White Fang is about a wolf being domesticated.
So you saying it's the same book but in reverse?
@@cvanceter exactly.
Nice summation. I've read both books several times and never made that connection.
@@rustumlaattoe I didn't read the books, I watched the movies, hut I still didn't get it either
Guy: *hits buck with club*
*sin*
Me: “Oh my god he’s actually humane.”
Guy: Yells near mountain
Snow: *You’ve yee’d your last haw*
One idea: Holes (Camp Green lake)
@MC King hahaha a familys curse
Yes
I think the case of trypohobia (or however its spelled) this Jeremy character has hinted at having thanks to his ex is enough reason as to why that one won't be done anytime soon.
4:46
"aurora borialis"
"uh, aurora borialis? at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?"
"yes!"
only legends can understand this meme
@@EctoweightCat I quote this pretty much any time someone says "Aurora Borealis." People are starting to look at me funny.
11:53 Pretty sure that wolf was asking him: "Are you gonna finish that guy?"
For anyone who is interested (probably no one,) the author of COTW, Jack London, was not originally an author by trade. He was a guy that actually took part in the Klondike Gold Rush and really saw many things he put in the book. To me, this adds a level of authenticity that made the book that much more interesting and emotional
The dog looks so fake lol
@Yowatsapp 05 lol are u defending a cgi dog
@Yowatsapp 05 Have you ever seen a real dog before? lol.
WHY DO YOU GUYS GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE DOGS' DESIGN!?! You've seen the live-action Lion King, the Garfield movie, the Sonic movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks, etc. The animators were intentionally trying to make the dogs have more emotions. There is little difference with this movie and those other movies.
@@SLAYEROFTHEBEAST555 The dog looks fine...
Movie Expert: Lets use a real dog for this!
Producer: No!
No because when a real dog is being walked in the background
PETA has entered the pissed chat
@Yowatsapp 05 I'm sorry, did you just say that genuine, real dogs can't show emotions better than a fake, crappy CGI one?
This movie was so boring, watching the Cinemasins version was even boring. And I LIKE the Cinemasins versions of movies I haven’t seen.
husmandaddy Lmfao understandable
I have a hard time imagining the dude behind cinemasins being an animal lover. "Oh sure you went and got the ball but everyone always expects you to get the ball and it's literally just becoming a cliche. I'd give you 10 treats if you just took the ball and chucked it in the lake but noooo you bring it back because that's what we all expect and you're PANDERING. SIN!"
What is this? The new Zelda game?
The legend of Zelda: Call of the wild
Lmao
That's a Call of Duty spinoff where you play the whole game as a dog in Alaska probably killing Russians.
9:46 why didn’t you sin the movie for the fact that there are no boars in Alaska? The closest population of wild boars (feral hogs-which are actually domestic pigs that have reverted back to their ancestral form) is probably in Texas. Also, Wild Boars are not the same as Warthogs.
This movie makes me want to read the book and never think about the movie again.
Video: Released one minute ago
Comments: Nine hours ago
Me: Visible confusion
But in "Call the Wild" it's about a domestic dog from California going through several owners up into Alaska. Being abused near death. Then the last owner gets eaten by a bunch of wolves, then Buck joins the wolf pack. And "White Fang" is the opposite. "White Fang" is about a half wolf, half husky being domesticated into a sled dog. Goes through several owners and abused. Is thrown into a lot of dog on dog fights for gambling. Gets to California and lives with a wealthy rich man.
John Thorton was murdered by Native Americans in the book.
Not sure how Disney makes this while also making Togo which used real dogs and was 100x better
Exactly, and Togo was 3 times cheaper, 40 million compared with 125 million for this crap. So they can make it with real dogs.
@@NiPeMiRecenziiFilme That would be animal abuse. How would they do the dog fight? How would they show the beating and whipping?
Just 2 b clear i havent seen togo
The Athiest Messiah Practically all movies replace the dog with animatronic or CGI for those scenes alone. Remember the disclaimer they all have to abide? That no animals are harmed? Some movies did indeed harm animals, and they rightfully were taken to court. But here, there is no real dog anywhere despite being a goddamn live action.
@@coltonbates629 Use a mix of real dogs and CGI like they did for a dogs way home or lady and the tramp remake.
This damn dog is the living definition of the uncanny valley and it absolutely disturbs the hell out of me
Imo the epitome still lies with toy story 1
Been following Cinemasins for a long time through multiple accounts and such.. For some reason, your Montley Crue joke made me laugh harder than I have in months. Thank you for that, Jeremy.
Please do Everything Wrong With Dolittle (2020)
2:38 *Says nothing because the audience can already grasp at how bad the situation is.
Like dude, man's best friend not ringing any bells?! Why would you beat a DOG?!
You forgot the fact that there are ZERO wild pigs in Alaska as well. But you're right on about all the other ridiculousness in the movie.
Am I the only one who can't believe Jeremy hasn't sinned the Alvin & The Chipmunks Quadrilogy?
I only watch the now to find out what else Jeremy's college girlfriend told him.
Me, in the middle of the theater: "That guy, who is obviously incompetent in any wilderness survival scenario, is going to track them across the yukon, off the map, down the river and rapids that crashed them, through the wilderness that they were wandering through without any clear destination, and he's going to shoot one of them."
Friend: "Ding!"
He had a map. The cabin they ended up in is pretty much stated to be the same one he was trying to go to in the first place. He just looked at the plotted path on the map in the cabin and assumed they were going to the same destination.
Doesn't excuse him suddenly being a survival expert, but the movie explains how he knew were to go very clearly. The crazier coincidence is that anyone was there to shoot when he got there.
I'm sinning cinema sins for calling an impossible boar a warthog.
9:40 i get such a dr. dolittle 2 vibes 😂
Call of the Wild should've gone to Disney+ and Togo released in theaters.
But then no one would have subscribed to Disney+ ... audiences are already familiar with bad Disney films on the big screen.
you're so right
Legally, Disney can’t put Call of the Wild on Disney+, since it’s a new film from 20th Century Fox/Studios. 20th Century Fox previously entered into a deal with Time Warner (now WarnerMedia) which gave HBO the cable/streaming rights to all new 20th Century Fox/Fox Searchlight movies, including ones that were released by Disney, through 2022. This is why several new 20th Century Fox films, such as Ford V. Ferrari and Dark Phoenix, are now exclusive to HBO Max, instead of Disney+ or Hulu.
This may also be why Disney is still dead set on releasing The New Mutants in theaters, because even a little box office money is better than HBO getting everything.
Please sin The Outsiders, it's a movie I love dearly and wish to hear your opinions on it
When the 'shrooms finally wear off and you find out you're not really a galactic smuggler with a Sasquatch sidekick.
Fun fact: loud noises do not trigger avalanches unlike what we have all previously learned from movies and Saturday morning cartoons
Then what does? 🤷♀️
Priscilla Jimenez The energy is measured in pascals. A human shout is several magnitudes lower than the trigger to vibrate snow to cause an avalanche. Instead, it has to be an explosive sound, the classic case being dynamite used by miners to open up mountains.
Most avalanches are actually caused by natural phenomenon. It might seem like humans trigger, but most times it would have happened with or without them because avalanches are just a natural thing.
I did love that This Land Your Land promo, who ever sing it was perfect.
EWW suggestions:
Ace Ventura, When Nature Calls
Reissued Original Jurassic Park
Bradley Whitford " get out" I see what you did there!!🤣🤣🤣
Some people say, before the drugs wore off, Ford was flying Millennium Falcon with Chewie!
Request: Sin The Hate U Give
This movie should’ve just went straight to Disney+
Naa. I liked it. And plus Harrison fords name is slapped on it. So people may not care if its in disney+ only
@Troppie
I’m saying cause not many people saw it in theaters and it bombed
They would have just charged people 30$ for it.
A dog went to an ad agency to take out an ad. He wanted it to say “Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof”. They asked if he’d like to add a 10th “woof” for free. The dog said “No that wouldn’t make sense”
When we hit the "buck stopped there" sin, I knew Dicer was involved in this script...
I loved the heartfelt story in this movie but the CGI was so unnecessary and overdone.... the dogs facial expressions were fake as hell
They made movies like this before, White fang for example thousands of them actually, where dog was even more emotional but was still a dog and not this cartoon scooby doo alike. it feels like they read the critics about the lion king lol and thought they need to make him more emotional.
It was overdone but the dog had to be cgi or it would be animal abuse
here is a title idea for an EWW: Everything Wrong With Robinhood Men In Tights in manly minutes.
thats a great title
Jesus, watching this video was boring, can't imagine how boring the actual movie was! Thanks for sticking through these for our entertainment
"Hey, beh-by." LOLz!!!
I didn’t know this movie existed, but now I do and it’s a Disney product......😡
Can you sin My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) please
oh yes please
Both LittleshyFiM and Moliminous have already made one :)
5 sins for not calling this a Balto rip off, but a 100 sins back for making a great video.
The Bear and the Dog talking with subtitles threw me in the end😂😂😂
First time asking for EWW: Atlantis the lost Empire (planning on posting till we get it )
In all honesty I love this movie, and I think that buck doesn’t look *that* bad....
Oh come on! Not taking a sin off for when he pushes the lady out of the tent? That was hilarious!
That soundtrack almost brought me to tears DURING THIS VIDEO. Damn, add a sin for being too good.
I actually really enjoyed this film. The score is brilliant
@Yowatsapp 05 except that CGI dog.
I think the problem with the dogs is that they're too emotive, they look visually good, freeze most frames with them in and they look pretty real, it's just the way they act and move... It's too uncanny valley.
They named him Spitz because he came from Spitsbergen, Norway..
This one was way funnier than it needed to be great job !!!!
weird how Bucks nose keeps changing size from one seen to another, like they couldn't decide what to stick with. Sometimes its short and then its a little longer.
Its because of this channel that when watching any movie i keep hearing 'dings' randomly. Thanks
As a dog owner for many years. I will honestly say my dogs have been able to learn many a vocabulary list. Plus dogs can learn different languages if you teach them. My neighbor taught a dog before he passed away commands in Russian even though he was American. It all comes down to what you are willing to teach the dog.
So the company motto is we’re to lazy to read so if it has a reasonable answer in a book we still add a sin
You know Jeremy had a rough time watching this movie when the sin count is over 100 after 10 minutes
My English class went to go see this movie in the theaters...
So all the bois started cheering and clapping at random moments
We also started clapping when the man died at the end of the movie
I died when he said but this dog is f**king albus Dumbledore
That Butthead outtake where Buck is with the white wolf made spit my drink it was so funny
That "dog cures alcoholism" scene would have been way more believable and cute if Buck had pushed away the glass, then started bumping John's hand with his snoot asking to be petted. John drops the bottle and rests his hand on Buck's head, petting him. Then he leans back in the chair as the camera dollys away showing the bottle rolling across the floor signifying that John has reconsidered drinking and has found a new companion.
Need to take out my fake looking dog clock... hold on Jeremy....
The CGI dog gets even weirder once you realize that every time someone is interacting with him it's actually a dude in one of those CGI body suits. The behind the scenes footage is a trip.
At 2:17, "shenanigans." What a great grandmother word. Are you my grams?
Cinema Sins: Wild Boar
1 second later: Warthog
Me: -_-
Call of the Wild is notoriously short. White Fang is even shorter. My copy when I was in 6th grade included both.
2:39 Is it bad that I laughed so hard at this part
The noise he made combined with the immediate sin was enough
I'm charging you ten sins a piece for each one that I don't hear during audio out takes: Old Yeller, Grizzly Adams, Theme from B.J and the Bear, "No, this one goes there! That one goes there!" And finally a Chewbacca roar!
Take care, Good Sir!
Anchor Man, Nice!
