Playmobil is really expensive. It's not so much "cheap LEGO"; it's more "my hipster parents think superhero action figures are too econo-fascistic, and LEGO is too mainstream."
They focus on educational too. They tend to be alot about small details. Like their Pyramid set has actual hieroglyphics, the western set uses a few different popular period correct guns, the pirate ships float. Things like that. Their Ghostbusters set is very detailed which is how I first learned about them. My 5yo loves the Ecto1. I would say they are more of a roleplaying toy like action figures than a Lego competitor and are huge in Europe. As for the movie, better than critics gave. But just a below average harmless kids film. Oh and the ecto1 can be seen on the highway in the film for a second or so.
Edgelord The Medgelord Remember when 2009 was the best year in movie animation and the worst year in TV animation? Everything is now balanced, as it should be.
@@allendepacheco3419 I would say that 2010 had a good balance between great animated movies (Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon, Despicable Me before it was milked dry, Megamind, and Tangled) and great animated shows (Adventure Time, Regular Show, Friendship is Magic, and Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated).
@deviled_eggs aren't they made out of wood or plastic or something? Also while lego makes you build the thing, play mobile is prebuilt so I assume that's also why.
There was a TV show with similar animation that came out a few years ago. I think it was called "super 4". It was generally very well received so maybe you could check that out. Not sure if it was made by the same people tho
If they make a fidget spinner it's just gonna be a magic relic or something. Like a giant fidget spinner controls the Earth's rotation and someone stole it and a sister and her autistic brother have to find it
Ideal plot: the mini-figures and mini-doll’s home is taking over by bootleg Lego, and that causes them to evacuate. To get there home back they much find the lost gods of old... the bionicle, to help them take back their home.
"He just radiates this pompous, whiny, flamboyant villain rage and so does his character" Pan, how do you perfect that deadpan delivery of a joke like that?
2:00 That's fine. Go back and watch the Lego Movie, and you'll discover that the word "Lego" was never uttered. It was just, as Will Ferrell's character put it, "a highly sophisticated interlocking brick system".
They don't pretend it isn't Lego though. In the beginning there's that whole bit about the main chatacter using a Lego instruction manual to get ready for work in the morning. As well as all the parts about building Legos.
@Ahmad and skeleton Still on the bright side, Frozen 2 is a million times better than the last animated Disney sequel that came out before Spider-Verse.
Saying that Playmobil is the poor man's Lego is the equivalent of saying Prince is an inferior version of Michael Jackson. (God rest both their souls).
@@michaelstrong5383 There were still many good animated films this decade. Remember, Disney, Pixar, Warner... all of these actually tried and it payed off.
@@reasyrandom I'm not saying all the animated films that were released this decade were bad. I'm just saying that as the decade comes to a close, the animated movies that came out recently (with the obvious exception to Frozen 2) flopped and were either mediocre or just bland.

Same here. I had no idea what Playmobil was until I saw a review for the movie. Probably because LEGO often has its own section in toy stores and toy departments, whereas I have no idea where Playmobil would be.
2019 was such a dissapointing year for animated movies. Aside from the sequels (except for Secret Life of Pets 2) most of the other movies range from mediocre to awful.
Not every year can be golden, your going to have a dud year once in a while, 2013 was a pretty meh year for animated films with Frozen and maybe monsters university being the only good one's out that year.
I remember that one time that playmobile actually have a cartoon series that i dont remember the title is. The show is about four friend: a prince, a female pirate, a fairy girl and a sci-fi spy become friend and go on adventure on four different land that repesent each of their home, the prince kingdom, the fairy magic forest, the pirate sea that fill with many island and the spy sci-fi city.

2019 was wrost year about 3D animations but a great year for 2D traditional animations you know movies like: Promare, Klaus, Weathering With You, I Lost My Body, One Piece: Stampede and even something tells me that My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising will be great. So hopefully Hollywood understand the message(bring back the 80s and 90s traditional animations style in the 2020s).
I think it's important to note how much effort was put into the animation. So, all else aside, good job guys. Would have been easy to phone it in and make crap, but you made it look good regardless and that's worthy of some praise.
I always liked Playmobil better than LEGO. I kept getting cool-ass Playmobil sets for christmas. It's weird to call them "poor man's LEGO" given that they're considarably more expensive.
@@TheLeaderishere Don't, those sets kicked ass, and also the quality was superior. Sure, they are ripoffs, but they're awesome toys in their own right.
@@TheLeaderishere The quality is indeed better with Playmobil and Lego rip them off when they started to add the figurines and based their whole line in their licenses rather than the build-your-own-everything they once had, something Playmobil still offers. Today, Lego's are not much different than Funko Pop's, all about licenses of properties.
@@c.l.m.c.3328 Ah, yes. My wife likes Super Milk-chan even though she has never watched it, she likes the design. So I used a Super Milk-chan for my thing. Amd yes, Playmobil are a ripoff, I won't say they aren't, but again, on their own right they a cool toy. The thing is, one can enjoy both, but I have feelings only for one because I never got LEGO, so it's pure nostalgia and subjectivity. The quality is better, that's not subjective, but the price is higher because of it.
2019: The worst year for movie theaters. 2020: Hold my drink. With all seriousness roll safe, stop hogging the TP, water, hand sanitizer, and Lysol Wipes; Also stop flushing those wipes. Robin from TTG was right. There is no such thing as a flushable wipe. Toss them, burn them, hell eat them if you have to just don't flush them. Just make your future a good one and be good to one another.
I took my 4 year old nephew to watch it since it was supposedly a movie for all ages. Little did I know I was greeted with a "your parents are dead" scene in the first few minutes of the movie. Kind of a heavy subject for a child to take in.
I extend my worthless love to you Pan, for featuring Alien News Desk on your list of great animated shows from this year. I'm happy you found it good enough to stand up with the big boys on that list.
"Lego featured batman, starwars ,NBA and bionicle for like 1 second" Ouch, especially since Bionicle not only saved lego back in the day from bankrupcy but was also the first lego series to have a movie. 4 movies and it did pretty well on the first. What a slap in the face from lego, it brought so much for Lego and they just couldn't care less. When they DID re-release Bionicle later on they didn't bother with advertising it. They hoped fans would advertise it for them and wondered why it nearly bankrupt them. Lego just don't care about the one thing that kept them alive.
Pretty much what Netflix does for their more artisy films. They do limited theatrical releases to qualify for the awards, and to please directors who really want to their films to have a theatrical release and not go straight to streaming.
Hey Pan, as a fellow Mexican, I think that you should know that the Playmobil Movie was marketed heavily in Mexico. There were ads on the radio and on tv and every time I went to Cinépolis this past summer there would be ads for it.
2:25 I had a friend with a pretty rich dad as a kid, he was fucking OBSESSED with playmobil and used the countless sets he had to boast and brag. He absolutely despised lego for some reason.
Klaus actually did get a theatrical release for a short time before Netflix released it for streaming, and it got good reception soooo they did a really nice hybrid of being in theaters and being available to watch at home
Everyone: Klaus Pan Pizza: Klaws Also, Klaus did enter theatres albeit a select few in the US, Canada, Spain and UK had a lot of places picked. I should've driven or flown to Madrid... This movie feels like it would've been great on the big screen :'(
@random rarities That and they want to please directors who would had otherwise passed with Netflix because they want their film to have a theatrical release.
Fun story! I went to see Promare (excellent movie) yesterday, only for the theater they TOLD us was playing Promare to be ACTUALLY showing Playmobil. After some confusion we were redirected to the correct theater, but it was still something else.
I live in a country where playmobil's factory is one of the largest employers, and yet I didn't hear a single thing about this movie before your review...
For some reason it was released months ago first in the UK and in Mexico. Even then, the rooms were mostly empty. (one friend told me, was forced to watch with his family).
I actually really liked Playmobil as a kid, Legos are just made to be build into stuff, you actually play with your playmobil as the figures are generic people that comes with several different tools to imagine all kind of adventures.

Actually they do, sort of. You can hear it on the soundtrack. When Metalbeard picks them out of the ocean you hear "GO! LEGO!"
"interlocking brick system"
all of my old therapists had playmobil in their rooms- like, none of them ever had any lego, just huge playmobil sets.
a left turn at Albuquerque of animated movies this is
2019 was wrost year about 3D animations but a great year for 2D traditional animations you know movies like: Promare, Klaus, Weathering With You, I Lost My Body, One Piece: Stampede and even something tells me that My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising will be great.
So hopefully Hollywood understand the message(bring back the 80s and 90s traditional animations style in the 2020s).
Promare is an instant classic. That and Klaus are the only two truly great animated movies from this year.
I think it's important to note how much effort was put into the animation. So, all else aside, good job guys. Would have been easy to phone it in and make crap, but you made it look good regardless and that's worthy of some praise.
I always liked Playmobil better than LEGO.
I kept getting cool-ass Playmobil sets for christmas. It's weird to call them "poor man's LEGO" given that they're considarably more expensive.
I pity you.
@@TheLeaderishere Don't, those sets kicked ass, and also the quality was superior.
Sure, they are ripoffs, but they're awesome toys in their own right.
@@TheLeaderishere The quality is indeed better with Playmobil and Lego rip them off when they started to add the figurines and based their whole line in their licenses rather than the build-your-own-everything they once had, something Playmobil still offers. Today, Lego's are not much different than Funko Pop's, all about licenses of properties.
I mean, I'm a hardcore LEGO fan and even I know Playmobil's not to be messed with.
Also _yo, Super Milk-chan pic!_
@@c.l.m.c.3328 Ah, yes. My wife likes Super Milk-chan even though she has never watched it, she likes the design. So I used a Super Milk-chan for my thing.
Amd yes, Playmobil are a ripoff, I won't say they aren't, but again, on their own right they a cool toy. The thing is, one can enjoy both, but I have feelings only for one because I never got LEGO, so it's pure nostalgia and subjectivity. The quality is better, that's not subjective, but the price is higher because of it.
2019: The worst year for movie theaters. 2020: Hold my drink. With all seriousness roll safe, stop hogging the TP, water, hand sanitizer, and Lysol Wipes; Also stop flushing those wipes. Robin from TTG was right. There is no such thing as a flushable wipe. Toss them, burn them, hell eat them if you have to just don't flush them. Just make your future a good one and be good to one another.
Ngl, the actual look/style of the movie, looks alright-
Adam Lambert is the singer/collaborator for queen. Yes that queen.
That villain song actually sounded good
it's awesome!!!!
@@k1zm3t All hail Emperor Maximus!
I took my 4 year old nephew to watch it since it was supposedly a movie for all ages.
Little did I know I was greeted with a "your parents are dead" scene in the first few minutes of the movie. Kind of a heavy subject for a child to take in.
I extend my worthless love to you Pan, for featuring Alien News Desk on your list of great animated shows from this year. I'm happy you found it good enough to stand up with the big boys on that list.
"It's gonna get better eventually" oh 2019 Pan you unknowing fool.
"Lego featured batman, starwars ,NBA and bionicle for like 1 second"
Ouch, especially since Bionicle not only saved lego back in the day from bankrupcy but was also the first lego series to have a movie. 4 movies and it did pretty well on the first. What a slap in the face from lego, it brought so much for Lego and they just couldn't care less.
When they DID re-release Bionicle later on they didn't bother with advertising it. They hoped fans would advertise it for them and wondered why it nearly bankrupt them. Lego just don't care about the one thing that kept them alive.
Klaus had a little premiere on theaters, so the movie can go to the oscars
Pretty much what Netflix does for their more artisy films. They do limited theatrical releases to qualify for the awards, and to please directors who really want to their films to have a theatrical release and not go straight to streaming.
Hey Pan, as a fellow Mexican, I think that you should know that the Playmobil Movie was marketed heavily in Mexico. There were ads on the radio and on tv and every time I went to Cinépolis this past summer there would be ads for it.
I have listened to that villain song like a hundred times since I heard the snippet of it you put in this video.
Adam Lambert's villain song kinda reminds me of his song "For Your Entertainment."
oh cool I'm not the only one
@@jredactedlredacted8148 That was probably on purpose.
2:25 I had a friend with a pretty rich dad as a kid, he was fucking OBSESSED with playmobil and used the countless sets he had to boast and brag. He absolutely despised lego for some reason.
Love the Diddy Kong racing music!
Klaus actually did get a theatrical release for a short time before Netflix released it for streaming, and it got good reception
soooo they did a really nice hybrid of being in theaters and being available to watch at home
Everyone: Klaus
Pan Pizza: Klaws
Also, Klaus did enter theatres albeit a select few in the US, Canada, Spain and UK had a lot of places picked.
I should've driven or flown to Madrid... This movie feels like it would've been great on the big screen :'(
@random rarities Thank you, MCU. Scorsese is right.
@random rarities That and they want to please directors who would had otherwise passed with Netflix because they want their film to have a theatrical release.
@random rarities I'm sorry, could be because of a language barrier but I don't get what you're saying :(
8:23 Bob's Burgers came out in 2011 so that list's even smaller now lmao
The more i watch rebel taxi the more i want a show centered around the world pan the character lives in
I imagine it could be like the intruder shorts that Toonami made for Tom
"its gotta get better eventually" Oh Pan......I really needed to hear that....
Ghostbusters are in the movie for 1 second
Fun story! I went to see Promare (excellent movie) yesterday, only for the theater they TOLD us was playing Promare to be ACTUALLY showing Playmobil. After some confusion we were redirected to the correct theater, but it was still something else.
I have honestly never heard of play mobile till this movie can out!
As a kid who actually loved Playmobil as a kid, my nostalgia wasn't enough to convince me to even watch the fucking trailer.
2010's: Let's go out with a bang!
2019 animation: you mean box office bombs? Okay we'll give you that!
At least it's not another underdog story like UglyDolls or Arctic Dogs or The Emoji Movie.
I loved Playmobil Airports and Airplanes
Man these small animation studios has to suffer lots of box office losses!
5:34 WAIT! They had a REDHEAD AND NECKBEARD ROMAN EMPEROR and they didn't call him NERO? Oh boy.
Coming never, it’s the kreo the movie, with small cameos appearances and a lot more bull shit for you to buy our brand.
Is Kreo even much of a thing lately? I've haven't seen a new Kreo product in somewhere near a year.
Kayle Mathew Comendador I have no idea??? I’m just thinking they might be around since legos is still around.
I live in a country where playmobil's factory is one of the largest employers, and yet I didn't hear a single thing about this movie before your review...
Klaus is such an amazing movie
"Mooooom can we see The Lego Movie?"
"No son, we have The Lego Movie at home"
The Lego Movie at home:
You got the whole squad laughing 😐
Had I known Anya Taylor-Joy was in this, I would've seen it. GIVE ME THAT THOMASIN MINIFIGURE
For some reason it was released months ago first in the UK and in Mexico.
Even then, the rooms were mostly empty. (one friend told me, was forced to watch with his family).
God promare is just, a trigger movie. It’s so good and the music is top tier
2019 had Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
one of the best damn things ever created
Just realized that the Mario movie will star the lead actor from The LEGO Movie as Mario and the lead actress from Playmobil: The Movie as Peach
I actually really liked Playmobil as a kid, Legos are just made to be build into stuff, you actually play with your playmobil as the figures are generic people that comes with several different tools to imagine all kind of adventures.
