8 Upcoming Films That Will Change Everything
4. Detective Pikachu - The Next Trend In CGI Animation
Some of us have really gone this long without ever seeing a Pokemon movie, and it shows. Pokemon has gone one step over the edge with its latest addition to the cinematic universe of incredibly cute, yet incredibly deadly monsters that we make take part in some spin on illegal dog fights before stuffing them into tiny ball prisons by, somehow, managing to make it even weirder.
Detective Pikachu will change everything we know about Pokemon by making them live action, super furry animals inhabiting our own real life plane of existence. The trailers have already sent fans into a spin, depicting silky-coated Charizards and a Jigglypuff that looks like it's seen better days, so we know that something strange is brewing on the horizon. If there's anything we've taken note of with this release, it's the visuals, that's for sure.
Coming from the game series of the same name, Detective Pikachu DOES have the potential to break the video-game movie curse by offering up something so bizarre that it actually works, which we've waited very patiently for. But it's seeing this style of freakily fluffy animals that's important, as it seems to be a new trend in CGI animation - seen in The Lion King's latest trailers too.
Seemingly, Detective Pikachu will be the herald of a new era of what to expect from computer generated graphics.
