PLAYMOBIL MOVIE REVIEW - Double Toasted Reviews

PLAYMOBIL MOVIE REVIEW - Double Toasted Reviews - Today on the Double Toasted movie review channel, we discuss on our podcast how the Playmobil toys may be looked upon as being inferior to the Lego toys, and we discuss how this may have crossed over into the movie as the film becomes one of the worst reviewed so far this year, breaking records in poor box office, and much more! Was a portion of this film bad because of it's wanting to be like the Lego Movie? Should Playmobil stick to making Ghostbusters and Star Wars playmobil toys? Let us know in the comment section below!

This video will get more views than the actual movie...

[@AXL9403]

Edward Saucedo ohhhhhhhhhh

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

lmao probably sell more Playmobil toys than the actual movie too.

[@Grnvolpe]

And make more money

[@ghost245353]

This is the type of movie being played in the waiting room of the doctor's office

[@patnewbie2177]

This isn't even good enough to be that. This is the movie that plays in the serial killer's home just before the SWAT team busts in.

I can totally see that happening.

The director of this film worked at Disney for 17 years. And THIS is what he makes his directorial debut? THIS is something he thought would be good for his career?

[@CKBrooke]

Jeff Anderson My guess is he was trying to make the next Lego Movie. 😑

[@TheDr502]

Well, he can always go back to working at Disney! :D

[@Mythori]

I have to confess: I was a huuuge Playmobil fan when I was a child. It was great for role-play. I used to reinact all the cool scenes from childrens books I used to read back then. Haha.. too bad the movie is such a mess.

[@kloggmonkey]

yeah i'd say i remember playmobil fondly, they had some fun sets like a treasure island, pirate ships, or some medieval castle, and there were always these tiny traps or secret nooks and whatnot.

[@Xayjohns]

No shame in that

Hubby loved his Playmobil toys. We now use them for terrain in our D&D games.

Damn you Korey, you brought back ALL the terrible memories of seeing all those Oogie Love commercials in the theaters and on TV. I finally got them all out until now lmao.

[@MovieFan1912]

I only saw that particular commercial one time, and I didn’t even remember it existed until I saw it (appropriately enough) in a Walmart bargain bin, and even then I didn’t recognize it at first glance.

[@captaintaco979]

What’s funny about Delgo is that it had been in development hell since the 1990s and it only came out because the studio was bought out and closed. And many of the animators quit.

[@FatalAspire]

[@italianswimtrunks]

Who else is happy that Korey finally brought up The Oogieloves again? I found Spill back in 2012 thanks to their hilarious review of The Oogieloves (also their Branded review) and when Korey brought up The Oogieloves in this Playmobil review it took me all the way back to 2012. So thankful we have Double Toasted now. Stay Toasty, everybody!

[@jakster16]

Him and Co-host goin in on that film was incredible

The Oogieloves?! More like the Ogreloves if you ask me...

[@genogamma13]

Playmobil is so obscure and dated that there's never been a Robot Chicken skit about them.

[@HeyItsAJOmega]

I swear this keeps happening - I come over to Double Toasted to see their take on a popular (normally bad) movie, then stumble upon a bad movie I had no idea even existed that they've crapped on and die laughing at their review. Well done again, guys.

[@Redscape_]

When's the Mega Bloks movie coming out?

[@liizzset]

Sorry if this is a spoiler. But I think they were in the Lego Movie? Like a cameo. The sister's toys were I think. Not sure.

[@andrewb4999]

liizzset No those were Duplo, which are LEGO for babies and toddlers.

[@kamikazelemming1552]

Well, there were those two dragon movies, Fire and Ice, and Metal Ages. They were actually pretty damn good for what they were. Also had a pretty high body count.

[@micahsaldana3625]

I want a Bionicle movie damn it.

[@austindevine248]

Micah Saldaña might as well cause Bionicle saved LEGO from bankruptcy at the time (its true look it up)

[@cecillbill]

They should have tried to sell this movie to Netflix.

[@Mysticgamer]

They probably said no.

[@paradoxacres1063]

Honestly..? This movie sounds better than Netflix movies like Tall Girl, lol

[@guy70yearsfromnow95]

They'd probably buy it tbh... Netflix will buy anything

[@arnoldrivas4590]

Netflix rejected Holmes and Watson that came out earlier this year. Think about that.

[@QueenA.G.]

15:40-15:50 good GOD Korey I’ve never laughed harder in a review!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@BigBlackGuyReviews]

1:25 As soon as I saw the creator of Playmobil my first thought was "Scary German Guy!" from Monster Squad 🤣💙

[@KidOblivion]

Getting playmobil is like getting store brand cereal at your grandparents house. You want Lucky Charms (Lego) but they buy you Magic Stars (PlayMobil) instead.

[@KingTimmahB]

Playmobil doesn't have the same clout as Lego, unfortunately. I was like "wait, Playmobil's the toy thing, right?" You'd never hear that about Lego.

[@digimonlover1632]

It makes me 😞Just like Digimon and Pokémon.

[@MonochromeTrouble]

I thought about ExxonMobil, not toys.

[@TheRockyCrowe]

I work in a theatre. I knew opening week was bad when we started selling Playmobil tickets for $5. But one of the worst in HISTORY with less than 1MIL made back??? Dayum, that’s worse than Arctic Dogs.

[@Xayjohns]

I read that the 5 dollar price run was intended as some experiment with pricing

[@TheRockyCrowe]

XRJ92 ohh 😮 well than nobody told me. The movie was already performing poorly so I assumed it was a desperate attempt to fill seats.

[@Xayjohns]

@@TheRockyCrowe Yeah. And for it to cost as much as it did, that did it no favors.

[@TheRegart]

Damn, I couldn't tell who was more disappointed and crushed in this movie, Anna Joy's character or Martin Thomas?

[@mannymaxo]

6:33 the way martin's face changes when he just hears that one word "Minions" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marikotrue3488]

Never heard of the toys, never saw a trailer and never heard of the movie (until I was checking Fandango for the next times for Knives Out). Just imagine all the confused children and irritated parents who saw this movie because Frozen 2 was sold out. Martin's scream of anguish when Korey explained this movie's use of that tired trope of transition from live action to animation says it all.

[@DaveC74]

I was hoping this would show up, pretty sure it's about to get ripped apart.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

Why is anya Taylor joy in this movie this is more of hallie steinfeld speed

[@AA1891]

Most likely couldn't afford her. Surprised they got Joy.

[@noencoresclub]

I still listen to the Spill review of Oogieloves. Classic review

[@LunarSpiral1127]

Did anyone knew that this movie existed? Cause I sure as hell didn't.

[@bbsj86]

I saw a trailer for it in front of Far From Home or something. Like a deadass big movie had this in front of it.

[@aarteestmj4958]

"...This paper strong". Words we should never let Korey live down. And you could tell Martin knew it the moment he said it. From a trouble starting playa, to married and can't rip a piece of paper. They must have changed Directors in the middle of his life movie. "Welcome to the soft(dark) side". Next time use "The Force" to rip that paper! Lol. Luv you guys, peace!

[@Tacom4ster]

This is a movie to trick grandmas at the checkout aisle passing the bargain bin, like Disney knockoffs back at the 90s. I mean the tickets are discounted

[@Stitchpuppy01]

To this date Oogie Loves is one of my favorite reviews by you guys. Right up there is Branded.

Speaking of the trailer song having nothing to do with whats going on... 7:53 - 'JUMP IN AN ASTON, JUMP IN A ROLLS' ...Rex is jumping in a Porsche. THEY COULDNT EVEN GET THAT RIGHT

[@poposterous236]

I remember seeing a video essay on this movie like 6 months ago - "How Playmobil failed where The Lego Movie succeeded" or that kind of thing. I thought this movie came out awhile ago. Apparently it premiered in a film festival back in June and released in most of the world in August.

[@spaceboy2095]

I've watched it and honestly it's not that bad... And I had Playmobil when I was an infant...

[@Alberto.Deluna]

When I first saw the trailer I was like "oh they're trying to be like lego"

[@adamajobe1756]

These are what I got cuz we couldn’t afford legos. Or worse even the knock off ones

[@dominicscreativefilms]

I was at a regal theater waiting for Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and I saw an ad for this movie and they were offering a third the price for a ticket to watch it. If that doesn’t cry desperate I don’t know what does.

It made my day seeing this video title pop up; I was really hoping you'd talk this movie because disasters like it are where Korey really gets to let loose comedically.

They shoulda did a Bionicles Movie that woulda been something

[@introvertindividual]

Me: "I didn't know this shit evening existed". Korey: "NOBODY DID".

[@pinktitan3716]

I actually liked the movie. Even though I’m 14, I did see a few things about this movie that were positive. The first thing I noticed was that they actually killed off Marla and Charlie’s parents. Even though they didn’t show it, that’s incredibly dark for a kids movie. If it was made for little kids too they wouldn’t reference any source involving death. The second thing is the animation, I loved the graphics on the lights and all the characters, and finally, the character development for Marla. She wanted to travel the world, but her parents’ death crushed that. Later, she realized that she can still believe herself if she doesn’t let obstacles get in her way. Now to me, that’s a good story if they could’ve done more with those topics. But honestly, this movie was supposed to be entertaining for kids who are too young to see more mature content. So I wish the adults weren’t so hard on it. But that’s just me.

[@drummy747]

Was fun to hear Korey talk about Oogieloves....made me think of good times with him and co-host 3000

[@snaketooth0943]

I used to play with playmobil with my brother but this movie looks bad even to me. 14:47 I reacted like Martin! "Did (who is that?) write this movie?"

[@HardlineSoul]

I'm still invested in the Playmobil Ghostbuster line! F it!!! AND YES...I had the playmobil castle and space sets!

[@Kaefer1973]

The only thing Playmobile has in common with Lego are the joints of the human figures, Playmobile are model toys, Lego are builduing block toys. I never understood the rivalry, it's like a seeing Jenga and minicraft model kits fans getting into a huge rivalry.

[@MunchSkating]

Wait this is only coming back now in the US? I saw this back in August here in the UK and just assumed it had come and gone everywhere else

[@Lankston101]

Yeah, I thought it was in animation. I was actually intrigued at first, like Martin.

[@TimeMakerMan]

Reviews from bad movies are Double Toasted best.

[@RidiculousThoughts]

Playmobil was bigger in Europe than in the US, but I had Playmobil sets growing up in NYC. They were cheaper than legos actually so we could afford them.

[@worldofdevin]

[@johnp710]

I’m waiting for that K’nex movie

[@VicenteTorresAliasVits]

PLAYMOBIL: THE MOVIE is about a young woman named Marla Brenner. She has just finished high school and wants to travel around the world, but her parents die in an accident. She becomes the legal guardian of her brother Charlie. 4 years pass and they're still living in the same house. I don't just mean that it's the same location; I mean that nothing inside reflects the passage of time. Everything is clean and tidy, and it seems like their financial status hasn't been affected. Does Marla work? Did they inherit enough money from their parents' will? Are they getting some kind of help from the government? I know these seem like minor details, but they needed to be clarified, because Charlie complains about Marla not being fun anymore with a "Our life sucks now" tone. We don't know what exactly is causing this and whether or not Marla is justified. You're probably waiting for me to compare this to THE LEGO MOVIE. Honestly, just because the toyline is a copy, it doesn't mean a film adaptation will automatically be a copy too. There certainly are similarities, but I feel that other films (like THE EMOJI MOVIE) have been bigger rip-offs. Well, what made that movie so great is that it tried to make statements about legos and people who play with them. It didn't feel like its main purpose was to be a commercial. By not giving us enough information about the Brenners' situation, we can't know for sure what they're doing wrong and/or what they need. Therefore, we can't know for sure what lesson we're supposed to learn. You must forget your responsibilities and have fun? You shouldn't let bad events affect your personality? Also, Marla & Charlie end up in a Playmobil store full of miniatures. I think them holding a sign that says "Buy this" would be more subtle. They have the kind of fight that usually happens right before the climax (even though we aren't even 15 minutes into the movie), and then they're magically dragged into the Playmobil world. Marla doesn't become a cool toy. I know that was decided so there could be a contrast between her and the spies, the scientists, etc. However, Charlie retains his personality in his viking body, so he still feels like a fish out of the water. The same thing could've been done for Marla. I thought it was a nice touch to show Marla struggling to move in her new body. However, it feels unnecessary in retrospective. Charlie doesn't struggle and Marla grows accustomed very fast. Not to mention that the limberness of all the toys is inconsistent. In some scenes, they're stiff as plastic; it others, they have the flexibility of a human body. Marla befriends a toy named Del. So now we have 2 toys modeled after an everyday person (even though he doesn't come from the real world, so he doesn't fit in this new world) that we have to follow around. It's just not very interesting. Each group of people or creatures have their own land, but there doesn't seem to be that much distance. How can they live so close to one another? Wouldn't the dinosaurs go outside of their zone and try to eat others? Wouldn't the Roman soldiers, cowboys, pirates, etc. notice that the people from other lands seem like a more advanced society? Wouldn't that affect how they live? Overall, the movie isn't very funny, but there are 1 or 2 cleverly subversive moments. I got the feeling that Anya Taylor-Joy was directed differently in live-action vs in animation. In fact, the way her character was written in both kinds of scenes also make her come off as 2 separate people. Regardless, she still manages to do a good job, and so does Daniel Radcliffe. 4/10

[@RedShirtRemyStarship]

Playmobil was the preschool sets of Lego.

[@cybersaint3895]

I've never seen ANY advertising for this movie.

[@sheshehauls1915]

tickets were only $5 for all showings in my area with bogo free promo.... no wonder it flopped and made no money. I thought that was odd that made me not want to take my kids.

[@erikweiss1164]

I saw it only because I belong to the AMC Stubs A-List, so I see everything. I had no interest in it but saw it anyway. I was literally the only person in the theater, and I played on my phone the entire time. This movie was bad. Also, for a movie that advertised itself and promoted Harry Potter as the main star, he spends probably the least amount of time on screen.

[@RichardtheFilmGeek]

Awesometacular review/rant on Playmobil: The Movie, guys! As for my personal quick thoughts, thank goodness I didn’t give enough of a shit to check this movie out for myself. It just didn’t look like my personal cup of tea at all, I don’t really have as much of a personal emotional attachment to the Playmobil brand as I do LEGO, both the trailers and Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt casting as a James Bond-type agent never really got me intrigued to begin with and honestly there seems to be no rhyme or reason whatsoever for this movie to exist other than to try and capitalise on what The LEGO Movie did so brilliantly and steal our money!

[@liizzset]

I know about Playmobil. But would not even go and see this playset as a movie in theatres. Watch Delgado on tv though as a kid. Yep. I was that kid. It is alright. I guess.

[@TrevsMovieReviews263]

We now need to see the DT review for Oogieloves.

[@slashermaster28]

To be fair, as much as this film wishes it was The Lego Movie, it only has two things in common with that film: Sentient toys and different worlds. Other than that, the film has much more in common with The Pagemaster. But yeah, even though I honestly didn't hate this film (I can see this being a guilty pleasure just for how insane and unpredictable it is at times), I'm glad I didn't pay to see it. I'm not gonna reveal how I saw it, but it wasn't in the theater.

[@RaidersoftheLostFlicks]

Corey, you and I were probably the only idiots that went and saw this for our fans. My theater was empty, so I knew I was screwed. Martin mentioned The Fanatic, and as bad as that film is...I found entertainment value in it. (Mostly Travolta not taking the Tropic Thunder meme seriously.) That movie you can't look away from for the same reasons that people slow down to see a car wreck. Playmobil however is straight up lazy. It can't do a musical number right. It's lead actress can't sing. The plot is nonsense, and unlike Lego movie, it has no heart, and thinks it's clever by taking the audiences through the wonders of dollar store generic land. I gave this a 1 out of 5 cheese curds for my channel. It's a waste of time for literally anyone involved. Glad to know I didn't suffer alone. Great review man!

[@TeganRhodes]

My husband loved his Playmobil pirate ship.

[@maddermax3162]

Playmobile was big in Europe when I was growing up about a decade ago

[@MuertaRara]

I loved playmobil when i grew up but maybe because i grew up in Germany. It's quite popular there

[@Elementa2006]

Playmobil was popular in the UK when I was growing up but not as popular as Lego.

[@QueenA.G.]

Yeah! This just goes to show if you can make a movie about Playmobil?! Why not make a movie about DTMerch.com!! I never played with Playmobil! I was a Hot Wheels girl growing up! The ONLY time I heard of Playmobil was when I saw a trailer for the dumb DVD Playmobil movie “the secret of Pirate Island” which I saw as a young kid, and I never gave a f$&k about it!

[@naomie427]

I feel like playmobil is more of a thing in Europe. They had them at after school clubs in my school in the UK

[@shawnconway6009]

This sounds like two movies stapled together. Like they had two entirely different movies, that were each half finished, and then they tried to Frankenstein them into one movie.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

Didn’t even know this movie existed

[@goldblooded6329]

The average movie ticket price is around 9 bucks. Few cents off give or take. The US box office for this was $656,530 for it's opening weekend. That's loosely estimated at about 72,900 people... for 2,337 theaters. I had no point to this. I'm just really high and enjoying the shitshow.

[@Diegesis]

Lego was already the European toy

[@revi6482]

Maybe Playmobil was something bigger in Germany. When I was a kid a lot of my friends had playmobil and we loved it.

[@Artistjm]

I’m not going to defend the film because I haven’t seen it but I do want to say that you may have been too harsh on PlayMobil (the toys) because you keep envisioning them to be a 1 to 1 competitor to Legos. They are not and were never meant to be a Lego type toy. They are just small action figures. PlayMobil are actually cool toys and are in a similar category to other action figures and play sets. They are almost an in between toy for kids who were transitioning from Fisher Price toys but not ready for the bigger toys that may have been more mature in nature. I actually enjoy PlayMobil toys and my kids enjoy them too. You use your imagination to act out the lives of the figures, while they move around in their vehicles or play sets. From realistic sets like schools and space shuttles to imaginary sets like pirates and Ghostbusters, your imagination allowed you to make up your own storyline with them like other toys. Legos are about building worlds from random blocks (which is fine in and of itself) while PlayMobil are you taking premade sets and imagining the day in the life of those characters.

[@miketaz5548]

First of all was there even a tv spot for this? I know about playmobil but not them coming out with a movie wow 🤣

[@bibbumblebee]

I don’t think there was a TV spot...maybe in the UK, there was. Not sure. I didn’t know this movie existed till I went to see Frozen 2 with a friend and we walked in to this trailer.
