Storyboards from the DVD, Violet is the first scene

i kept my expectations low for a good reason. This looks bad XD and not in a good way!

This looks like fun.  I might pick it up.

I'm glad they went with the far superior Gene Wilder version of the story.  The songs are far superior, the blueberrification (in the Wilder version) is far superior, and the adult/child interaction is far superior.  The latter one (adult/child interaction) is my biggest complaint about the Depp version.  While the various things are happening to the kids, the adults all just kind of stand there slackjawed, not doing anything.  In the Wilder version, the adults are arguing with Wonka, allowing Wonka to have some classic lines ("He's gone! He'll be made into marshmallows in five seconds!" "Impossible, my dear lady! Absurd! Unthinkable!" "Why?!" "Because that pipe doesn't go to the marshmallow room. It goes to the fudge room."), and shouting to their kids. A lot more realistic in my opinion.

I get that its their style to have humans look the way they do...

But some of the people look aweful

I am so confused by this movie. I want to know how the board meeting went for this idea. Did they just throw all their licenses into a hat and randomly pull out these two? I hope the blueberry scene lasts for a long period. That's the only thing I'm mildly interested in.

That trailer looks very weird to me. Pretty much every scene shown had tom and jerry do their own thing and the Human characters doing their thing. They also pretty much capitalized on that Violet turning violet scene (Perhaps that was the scene that everyone found to be most profound?).

I also saw a clip of the movie's intro and its very off putting to me since I watched the older Tom and Jerry cartoons when I was little. Tom goes around searching for food in the trash and he eventually stumbles upon Jerry attempting to grab a peice of cheese from the trap. The weird part is that Tom prioritizes the cheese over Jerry. The characters have really changed since I last saw them (or maybe this is specific to this movie).

As for the movie itself, I am only curious about the violet scene really. They could've done this without Tom and Jerry.

It's $18 on the play store. I don't have that kind of money atm, but hopefully one person will get it eventually and tell us how the Violet scene looks.

Theoretical question: Does anyone think that the producers and animators involved must have knowingly pared down the blueberry scene to prevent it from being used as fetish fodder? I don't mean to be pessimistic, but perhaps Warner Bros. are aware of us (should rephrase - not this site specifically, just the community in general that gets their kicks from blueberries).

Then again, considering claims that the animal characters get involved in their own expansion scenes makes me think the film creators are just using the concept of inflated bodies for the "antics" and not the fear and fascination of the "process", if that makes sense. Basically, they might not want kids and their families to be hung up on a girl transforming into a freakish helpless sphere. The animals are centerpiece and humor probably drives much of the actions, so I can understand WB shifting the focus away from the poster child. The furries could still probably celebrate. Who knows.
