I believe, instead, the story put a new spin on a familiar trope. Also, I don't agree with critics who write that it's unoriginal. So, I was curious if there was going to be a second Megamind film and found correspondence between the studio and fans in which DreamWorks essentially said no to a sequel because the first didn't do as well as expected however, I think the initial problem surrounding the film's success was all due to timing. I had missed watching it at the theatre those many years ago because it wasn't heavily promoted as it's rival, "Despicable Me," released around the same time. I absolutely loved "Megamind!" I only found it recently on Netflix. The video is included on the DVD release. Megamind and Minion are having an auction, selling things from their evil lair, where most of their items gets sold, except for a the death ray, used to kill Metro Man in the original movie. The short story takes place after Megamind and Minion has defeated Titan, (Aka. While there is still no news on a Megamind sequel, a short video titled Megamind: The Button of Doom, the video is only 16 minutes long, so likely not enough to satisfy the fans. There's another scene where Megamind's Minion is apparently dying, and Megamind picks him up, and throws him in some water. Scenes like these are what I would describe as natural, believable, and realistic. There's lots of small random, realistic humorous scenes, and most are very well done.Īs an example, there is a scene were Megamind plays with a car while waiting for Titan, and suddenly exclaims: "This is embarrassing". The humor was generally very well done, with the exception of a few scenes. There are no official information to back it up. There are some rumors on the internet about another Megamind movie being made for 2022, but these are not supported by facts. That's 14 years! Hopefully it will not take that long for Megamind. Keep in mind The Incredibles 2 has also taken a long time, and, as of the writing of this, currently scheduled for 2018, according to IMDB. It's a good movie, with a good story, and very few bad points. The question is more likely to be when? than it is to be will there be?. Parts that are unnaturally silly are also more tolerable in animation movies.Ĭhances are that there will be another Megamind movie at some point. While Megamind does have some humor in it, it is not unwatchable-silly. Normally I hate parodies, and would not even consider watching them, since they tend to be extremely silly. I think the original Megamind was made as a parody on superhero movies, but you don't sense it much when watching the movie. This could happen in many ways, but one of the most obvious would be in the shape of an alien invasion. But, I would personally love to see this supervillain gone hero raise to his full potential next time, using his super intelligence for good rather than evil. There are currently no official plans for another Megamind movie. It is one of my favorite superhero animation movies, right next to The Incredibles (2004), and TMNT (2007).
