The film is directed by Holger Tappe, who previously made Animals United, which was also produced by Timeless and Ambient. Mr. Carbunkle breaks the fourth wall about making computer animated movies, because the movie is in CGI.Here is where Pixar’s absence will be most appreciated. The 3D animation giant has won more Oscars for Best Animated Feature than anyone else. In many occasions they were the only real choice, others - like with “ Brave” - it appeared as if they were just winning by default despite the existence of more innovative and daring competitors. Their last offer “ Monsters University,” a prequel, failed to garner much love during awards season. This time around they are not even part of the festivities at all. Assuming that the Academy often recognizes the combination of craft and storytelling, then the ideal nominees would be as follows come January

Edwards, David (23 May 2014). "Postman Pat: The Movie is dull, dated, disappointing and fails to deliver". Daily Mirror . Retrieved 15 September 2014. In 2013, the story in Postman Pat Live from Premier Stage Productions was almost the same as this film. On 11 October 2004, it was announced that Postman Pat could soon be a star of the big screen if Hollywood bosses get their way. A number of leading American film studios, including Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brothers and Universal Pictures, were understood to be among those seeking to acquire the film rights to a string of British television favourites, including Postman Pat. Universal and Twentieth Century, the Hollywood studios, had approached the British company Entertainment Rights about a possible film version of Postman Pat. Mike Heap, the chief executive of Entertainment Rights, confirmed that talks were taking place with a number of different film makers but refused to give details. Earlier in 2004, Prisons Minister Paul Goggins, MP for Wythenshawe and Sale East, revealed that one of the characters, old lady Mrs Goggins, who is often heard to sigh, "Eee, it's a bad job", was named after a relative.

January witnessed the atrocious arrival of this generic Open Road Films production about a squirrel planning a heist to get nuts. Easily one of the worse reviewed films of the year so far, it is evident why an early release date was chosen. Even the fact that it was voiced by the likes of Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Katherine Heigl and Brendan Fraser couldn’t rescue it from its simplistic premise. Sadly, the fact that it didn’t offer anything but cheap and formulaic laughs didn’t stop it from being a mild financial success. Beware, it has been granted a sequel out in 2016. Co-producer Ambient Entertainment has partnered with Warner Brothers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Even though Brian George voices Ajay in the movie, T.J. Ramini voices him when he raps and with one speaking line ''Now arriving Greendale Station, Please disembark to your left''. Meanwhile, in the performance, a Patbot performs instead of Pat, unbeknownst to the audience. Wilf arrives, knowing it to be a robot (after defeating a Patbot with a magnet at the sorting officer earlier), uses a magnet to unmask the Patbot. Then, the real Pat interrupts the performance and gives a speech on what's really important and how he forgot to take time for those he really cares about. As Carbunkle releases the first few Patbots to kill off Pat, Simon and Brown, revealing that he has had enough of them hindering his plans, Josh saves them by using Carbunkle's phone to turn off all the Patbots before they can kill Pat, Cowbell and Brown. Little does Pat suspect that his wife and friends from Greendale will arrive in the chaos. Postman Pat: The Movie was released in the United Kingdom on DVD and Blu-ray on 29 September 2014, by Lionsgate Home Entertainment. [8] Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ]

Pat is revealed to be 33 years old, a reference to the number of years in 2014 since the show's launch. And despite Pat's efforts to tell his wife the truth about why he entered the competition, he fails and starts to become fearful that he might have pushed his family away. It isn't until shortly after Pat's departure for the final competition that Ben and Jess discover that there appears to be more than one Pat and Edwin Carbunkle's true intent is exposed. It turns out that Carbunkle is in fact an evil megalomaniac and is making these robots to try and take over the world. Ben then rushes to tell Sara and Julian the terrible truth about Mr Carbunkle's plan. For some absurd reason the studio created a marketing campaign for this film comparable to that of an actually meaningful theatrical release. This was probably due to Tom Hiddleston’s involvement, but is that enough to warrant the fifth installment of this by-the-numbers franchise? Apparently they thought so. As a home-entertainment product this may suffice and keep schoolgirls captivated, but how many more sequels until its young audience gets bored or Thinker Bell becomes obsolete. You guessed it, this is also a Disney Toon Studios work, the place where good generic ideas go to die and resurrect as bargain products. However, as bizarre as it might seem, some critics actually enjoyed it and were fairly positive towards it. Could this be because their expectations of a non-theatrical film are lower? We probably should be worried that such support might encourage the studio to open the next chapter in every multiplex that allows children in - all of them.

The 15th Annual Golden Trailer Award Nominees". Archived from the original on 9 July 2014 . Retrieved 22 April 2015. A famously cherished character across the Atlantic, it is possible Postman Pat will not connect with American audiences or generate the same love the British have for him. Not because he is not a great guy, but because the movie in his honor seems completely incoherent. Based upon the stop-motion animation series that ran on the BBC from the early 1980’s, this reinvention discards the beauty of the medium that made the character iconic and turns it into a bland computerized puppet. As if this wasn’t enough, the guys at DreamWorks Classics came to the conclusion that including a singing contest (on the vein of Britain’s Got Talent), robots, and warfare machinery would be amazing components to include. Really? Some things are better left untouched; you guys could have called Aardman Animations. They would’ve gotten it right.
