The part where Megamind is being 'Space Daddy' to Titan (Hal), he is parodying Superman (1978). He specifically parodies Marlon Brando as Jor-El, father of Kal-El (Superman).

This movie was an underrated gem, it did ok in the theaters but not as well as they hoped, thus no sequels but once released on DVD it became a classic and I think it is one of the top animated movies

The scene where Hal flies Roxy around the city thinking he's being romantic is supposed to be a parallel to that famous scene in Superman where he does the same thing with Lois Lane.

And when Megamind is playing "Space Dad", Will Ferrell gives him the voice of Marlon Brando, who played Jor-El in those movies

In the beginning, Roxy is wearing a red dress as the opposite of blue, when she hates Megamind, a purple one when she's conflicted about him, and at the end a full on blue one when she's full on into him.

When Megamind is ordering the laser to fire, if you pay really close attention, you see Metroman blip out for a second and show up behind Megamind, as foreshadowing for later when he's retelling the story about using his super speed to clear his head.

18:55 "what is this move?" When playing charades, one person is acting something out and can't talk. When another player guesses correctly, the silent person points at the guesser with one hand and touches her nose with the other because she isn't supposed to talk. I believe the signal is based on the phrase "on the nose", meaning obvious, but I could be wrong. This hand sign has been integrated into American culture. Tighten was indicating that Megamind was correct that Tighten had used his powers for selfish gain.

Charades started in France before spreading to other countries so I'm betting they have it in Belgium.

Megamind and Nick from Zootopia are basically the same character. "If this is all they're gonna see when they look at me, I'm not gonna try to convince them otherwise."

Wreck it Ralph and the Lego movies are really good. Megamind has so many quality scenes and lines. "You were right I was mostly right"

It sucks this movie came out after _Despicable Me_ , this is the superior film. The "Shool" bit is an inside joke because one of the animators is named Robert Schoolcraft, pronounced the Dutch way (Shool-kraft). "Space Dad" is based on Marlon Brando playing Superman's dad Jor-El in _Superman_ (1978), but Ferrel is doing an impression of Marlon Brando as Michael Corleone from _The Godfather_

Motherlode is a mining term, describing the main vein of a metal, as opposed to minor deposits. It's the jackpot, in whatever context its applied. The pointing to your own nose thing is from the game charades, where you mime a word or phrase. It's the gesture you make when someone correctly guesses your word, because they got it "on the nose".

"Metrocity" still cracks me up. 😄

"I'll just pack my thing a go." Thats a good one

So before anyone else says it I’ll say it lol. The reason metro man as turned into music man is because music and crafts or anything artistic is something his powers can’t help him with. He has to completely learn on his own like a regular person

18:55 It's how you say someone guessed right in the game of Charades.

"And this one's for space stepmom! You lied to her!" This is actually a true statement, because Megamind DID lie to minion. Also apparently this was an ad lib by Jonah Hill. The line was actually supposed to be, "And this one's all yours!"

This is definitely the better of the cgi style animated bad guy villain turns good guy who has help from his minion(s) movie that came out that year. Too bad for that film Despicable Me was a bit more for the kids and got all the money and sequels. ! 😂

When Hal/Titan touches his nose after being told by Megamind that he is using his powers for personal gain.. That is supposed to mean.. "on the nose" (you got it exactly)... The nose touching thing to say "on the nose" kind of was a thing for a short while, and has pretty much died.

Ollo! The "Get back you savages" joke is one of my favorites.

When Hal puts his finger on his nose, is literally that.. "on the nose". It means exactly.

Will Ferrell is the villain in the Lego Movie. That’s a good one and you should check it out.

This is definitely up there among my favorite animated movies So much of this movie is done so well

No, not Star Wars. It's from one of the Superman movies, where Marlon Brando played Sup's father.

You'll get a lot of different animation recommendations, but please consider reacting to the underrated gem that is "Surf's Up". An all-around great film that very few reactors have watched yet.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a favorite with my family.

Megamind and Despicable Me both came out at the same year (2010). Despicable Me came out first (June) and was a huge hit and spawned a franchise. Coming out months later (November), Megamind, while moderately successful, did repeat the huge success of Despicable Me, and did not get a sequel.

@@everlastingpass1on The movie does, at least, have the same writers, so I wouldn't totally write it off. It's a shame they couldn't get any of the original voice actors. The animation in the trailer looks a bit early-2000s at times, but it's possible that's only in the trailer. Either way, it seems like they were working with a significantly reduced budget.

Monsters vs. Aliens is a good companion movie to this one. I think I prefer it slightly more than this, but they're both very enjoyable.

Metromans new passion is music BECAUSE he's so bad at it. It's the one thing his powers can't help him with, therefore he's getting better on his own talents.

I think you would enjoy the Animated film “Monster House” Not a movie you could watch with your baby boy anytime soon but you I think would enjoy it quite a bit.

"There is no Queen of England!!", guess Titan could see into the future

The music budget for this movie must've been insane! Worth it, though! 😂 😂

Home is another one that I love watching.

1 of my all time favorite animated films…especially brilliant script ❤. Ps Hal is an idiot. He didn’t know this is how to spell Titan…not Tighten. 😅

Hi Mary , I really enjoyed your reaction to megamind👽💙 Thanks for the reaction , You the best :)

Fun Fact: Megamind is his name because his mind/brain is mega big and smart 😀

Metroman chose music to do as a new job because is the only job were his powers doesnt grand him to much avantage, his super speed or super strenge doesnt take part in playing music , so it was the only thing he has to really practice

It's also worth noting that while Megamind had the option to give himself Metroman's powers he chose to give them something else. To make an opponent obviously but it also indicates that Megamind knows deep down that as the "evil" one he has to be the one that loses. It's only when Hal declines to take him to jail that he triggers his copper ball fail safe.

There's a really good, Belgian/French A24 movie "Close" that I think you'd love! And of course it's A24, so it's already good haha

You will be happy to know-there IS a part 2 to Megamind. 😊

Thanks, Mary, for reacting to one of my favorites.

Little detail, Metro Man decided to do music for a living makes sense. It's the one thing that his powers wouldn't help with. It something that he can evolve with and not succeed right away.

They weren't copying Star Wars. The whole thing is a spoof on the origin of Superman. The old man claiming to be his space dad is a spoof on Marlon Brando who played Jor-El in the 1978 Superman: The Movie. Superman's father from the planet Krypton. -OG

I enjoy this Movie very much. It shows the kind of opposite of when a Bad Guys turn into Good Guy... And the city isn't destroyed buy a Nice Guys- turn into a Bad Guy.. Plus, not sure if you had anything with doing this or the KZread did, but I Couldn't really get into the Film due to the fact I had ADS, almost every 3 -4 minutes. Must have saw 20+ . so, it wasn't enjoyable like I wanted. But I'm glad you go to enjoy it.

There is a second movie coming out, and a TV show, but from what I’ve seen, none of the original voice actors are in either of them. I’m pretty sure you can find the trailer on here somewhere, but it doesn’t look very good.

For traditional 2D animation, Aladdin (1992) and The Lion King (1994) are two of the best classics. For CGI animation, one of the best is Shrek (2001), which spawned a whole franchise.

Super dat je naar Megamind keek ^_^ prachtfilm!

Isle of Dogs (2018) Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

There is a second movie and a TV show coming out on March 1, so just a couple days. They're made-for-streaming, so much lower budget. Basically made a movie and 16 episodes on about 0.38% of the budget of the original movie. So, obviously, the animation will be a bit jankier. However, we don't quite know how the story is turning out, yet. A lot of people are jumping to conclusions, but they forget that with the original movie, a lot of people went in thinking it was Megamind VS Metro Man! And it turned out not to be that at all. Same writers, but I'm sure they had less time to work on it so it probably won't be as tightly written overall. Also G-rated. So, the sequel movie/show may be fun, but they'll also be for small kids and haven't had as much time and money put into them. But who knows. Maybe there will be more theatrical releases in the future. The original writers are still on board.

Voice acting is such an easy gig - for both the production company and the actors. No huge scheduling issues, because they can record separately and all in one go, no costume or make-up. Easy.

It's a Superman origin story parody. Superman vs Lex Luther. Looks like you weren't getting that. Superman (1978) gets much of it correct.

I think the main competition for megamind is Despicable Me, another villain story.

I love that Metro Man picked up music because it's not one of his powers, he's not naturally talented. It's something that he can work on and improve on just like anyone else.

There is a sequel coming out next week, based on the trailer it's impossible to tell whether I'm gonna like it. The animation doesn't look good, but maybe they've fixed that since the trailer was made.

Goed werk met de bewerkingen. Bedankt Marijke !

👤 Beginning with their first two films back in 1998 ("Antz" and "Prince Of Egypt"), Dreamworks Animation's main modus operandi of filling all of their movies with extremely familiar voices was set in place. Even more than Disney, the studio revolves heavily around the use of A-list vocal talent. If you enjoyed this one then you'll definitely also enjoy "Monsters vs Aliens" which came out a year earlier (2009). It has a similar vibe to it, and it's got a lot of stuff that appeals to both kids and adults. 👽👍

Ooo looking very fancy and pretty with the lipstick

For the mighty algorithm 😁

It's too bad the subtitles you used "spoiled" the reveal of Hal thinking his Superhero alias was Tighten the whole time 😄

Metroman - like a Homelander/Elvis hybrid 😂

This minion is superior to the little yellow ones

Monsters vs Aliens is another good animated film. -OG

The scary part is that so many men would identify with the "nice guy" if he were just a little bit less over the top.

Megamind is a delicate language-play that must be enjoyed in English. Foreign markets drive a lot of the animation market, so losing the comedic balance of this program lessened the likelihood of a sequel, besides, the story team had a very big field day, so getting another script to this level would have taken time.

You really need to watch the german animated movie Felidae. There is an english subbed version. The english dub however is really bad. The voices don't fit and the timing is often way off. Oh and the british movie The Plague Dogs And an anime movie called Little Polar Bear Cubs.

This movie had the unfortunate circumstance to release around the same time as Despicable Me.
