The LEGO Movie was a massive success, and it basically set the standard for toy-focused films. Now Playmobil wants in on that box office cash, and we have a new trailer for Playmobil: The Movie starring Daniel Radcliffe.
Here's the official description:
In PLAYMOBIL's® animated action-adventure, a top-secret organization has caused citizens from different lands to vanish from thin air. The dashing and charismatic secret agent Rex Dasher (Daniel Radcliffe) must partner with smooth-talking food truck driver Del (Jim Gaffigan) and Marla (Anya Taylor-Joy) a smart, savvy civilian with her own secret agenda, to rescue them. Against unthinkable odds, the trio goes on a fantastic journey across stunning new worlds as they gather clues for their rescue mission.
From the get-go, I can already sense some LEGO Movie vibes. Besides the simplistic design of the characters with their LEGO-like "claws", you kind of also get the feeling that the main plot is based on some kind of "playtime" of a "higher being". It kind of makes sense what with random characters disappearing from their normal setting, and the main character teaming up with a bunch of random people. It has all the essence of just picking out toys and giving them their own story outside of their ‘canonical place'.
I have to say, the animation does look smooth though, and it looks pretty high-end for an admittedly low-profile film.
Playmobil: The Movie is set to come out Nov. 22.
