The porche is actually a key character because it killed their parents. The ending implies the car is going to finish the job.

[@L1ncore]

I looooved playmobil as a kid, so ive never really understood why people compare it to lego. The building component isnt fun, but the appeal of the toys for ME was more just having detailed and charming character figures and sets that i could play pretend with. Theyre honestly more comparable to action figures, but for kids that wanna play out more mundane adventures

[@reedsylvier5250]

Yeah same, I preferred Playmobil because I liked making stories more than things, plus I liked twisting those stories to end them and the buildings it had really held up to multiple cases of being built up just to get smashed to bits

[@sadflix8754]

I really don’t get the hate for playmobil, I mean, have they not seen the playmobil castle? Or the httyd sets?

[@tonettalover]

Exactly

[@ghostthelizard]

People who actually had playmobil would know that it really isnt like lego at all. Sure you can build some stuff together but its more comparable to a dollhouse that needs to be put together because its in pieces so it fits into a box. The figures have similar hands but thats because its easier to make them grab things. If you look at other toys that hold things, their hands are very similar just adding more detail than playmobil and lego do

[@L1ncore]

@@sadflix8754 TRUE. i always forget that theyve made some crazy good fantasy sets lol. I was more into stuff like the dentist sets 😭

[@tayloredwards4968]

Not going to lie it could have worked if they weren't trying to copy off of The Lego movie success and just did their own story

[@Gamma_Churchill]

This movie has to be a money laundering scheme cuz this movie has no fanfare and has big names like Anya Taylor-Joy, Daniel Radcliffe, Jim Gaffigan, Kenan Thompson, and Meghan Trainor literalky how

[@L1ncore]

I think it was probably just a bad investment from out of touch producers. Like they saw playmobil at wallmart and thought yeah ok, thatll work for a movie

[@elphbwckd212]

Nah, this was the classic case of one company or movie studio trying to piggyback off of the success of another. I don't see it as some nefarious scheme, just a poor attempt at copying success.

[@editoe_b]

Anya fetal alcoholism accepts any role she gets

[@voidoflight2420]

Playmobil isn't really a knock-off. I had a good amount of them when I was a kid, and the sets generally tended to be an entirely different demographic/appeal from legos. With the sets, you generally had more detailed builds and harder to put together pieces. They were basically meant to be action figures that you built yourself.

[@shadowbossmsm]

I got playmobil becayse ut was cheaper and less messy than Lego, but I loved mine too

[@myckeli]

playmobil and lego filled different needs for me as a kid. Lego was for building, I loved following instructions. Playmobil was for playing and creating worlds. We had the playmobil christmas calendar a few years and I preferred those over lego. Loved all the plates and mugs and tiny kitchen utensils, skis and lanterns, sleds, tiny animals, aaah just talking about it makes me so excited hahaha I love tiny things apparently

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

21:35 I love this idea of a sleepy depressed person just getting yeeted into fairyland while barely processing it

[@mariahs6]

The saddest thing about this movie is, the animation looks really good. It just needed a good story to accompany it. Now this isn't to say it needed a completely original story (as that is impossible, lol), but if it did some spins on the tropes and clichés along with fixing the power scaling (like, not making Charlie go down to one poke and show why the powerful people of this world are, well, given that coveted title), it could have been a pretty fun watch.

[@Mirai_the_weeb]

As someone who's special interest was and still is miniature stuff, I always liked playmobil bc the small stuff and the design was so appealing to me bc it wasn't as easy for me to lose like legos

[@reedsylvier5250]

Idk about movies but as a kid I'll say it I preferred Playmobil to Lego, I preferred making stories more than making lumps of plastic, I had a girlie castle and a holiday set, I had so much fun building them up and creating characters and lives before wrecking havoc by dooming them to disaster, I picked up the princess and had her kaiju level destruct her entire mansion it really relieved my kid anger

[@moosenman]

Tbh I feel like Legos appeal is more in the building aspect. I had one play mobile set, and it wasnt the same, you know? That and they had Lego friends which went pretty hard.

[@ArtisticlyAlexis]

My son loves this movie. It was much more marketed to Europe than the states. I'll admit that the music is very catchy & it's grown on me after the 500th viewing.

[@giga_chad9]

[@devofficialchannel]

The toys originated from Germany, so I guess maybe that's why. Probably much bigger in Europe, but not so much in the US.

I can't believe that they wasted a perfectly good Daniel Radcliffe, since Rex Dasher, who was featured in most of the marketing, was barely even in the movie.

[@LockytheLimeHare]

I remember YEARS before the Lego Movie there was another Playmobile movie cashing off of the older movies like lego Indiana Jones and such. I only saw the trailer on either the Open Season 2 or the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs DVD I had. It looked interesting and was about twins getting sent to the Playmobile world, getting separated, and their journey trying to find eachother to go back home. I wish I could find anything else about it. I thought that this movie was it but it came way after. I think the one I'm talking about was way back when the first Ice Age came out, or even earlier

Personally i loved playmobile when i was a kid. I loved all the cool types and how they were just super cute. I had like the whole hospital and ambulance sets. I loved that the oxygen masks really atached to the figures faces. And all the little tools fir the operation theatre. I never had lego after my duplo sets when i was rather tiny, and never really wanted them. I know mist people wont agree at all with me. Especially given im autistic and loved puzzles and building things, so youd think lego would be perfect for me. But i just saw the playmobile boxes and was like yaaaaaaa i want these. I even kept setting them up into my early teenage years, not really playing just making scenes with them. Maybe i was into toy photography without realising it was an actual thing i could actually get into and that loads of adults do it with action figures etc. I let getting older and trying to fit in with people my own age destroy my passion for that and got rid of all my sets 😕 😢 even though i didn't want to. Just because i was told i was to old fir toys. And didn't have a mother who told me its okk to like what i liked. I look at the playmobile sets now (at 39) when i take my toddler to find a new car, truck 🚚, train set etc. (Whos also autistic) and feel rather sad, i still want to buy them 😢. But i tell myself that my son can loves hus hot wheels, and train sets as long as he wants and ill never tell him hus to old. This film on the other hand 😅. I think ill pass. Sorry playmobile.

I totally get all of your points about this movie, except for one. I’d argue that the Lego movie did the same thing with the “settings” and characters they used. They showed every Lego setting you could possibly think to build, as well as every recognizable minifig they’ve ever produced. With Lego, it seemed most people saw it as a way they were showcasing all of the products they’ve made over however many impressive decades that they’ve existed… so why do people assume it’s just to sell things with Playmobile? It feels like both intentions are probably the same (to sell products), since that’s the ultimate goal of these movies existing in the first place. It feels disingenuous to shit on a movie made about a toy product for trying to sell the toys. Idk.
