In December, I registered a complaint here and on Twitter about AMC Theatre’s brand new policy trailer.
Featuring their ‘dot people,’ the short film has a bear eating cellphone dogs, and motorcyclists running over cattle. It is weird and nonsensical (and obviously rather abusive to animals for no apparent reason).
A member of the AMC marketing department responded to my concerns on Twitter, which I appreciated. And today I am happy to report —
The policy trailer has been CHANGED!
The dot people are still the focus, but this time, two red balloons float from scene to scene, connecting the action. It’s really very nice. And no dot animals were harmed in the animation.
Thanks, AMC.
Look at you, changing the world. 🙂
I’m sure a lot of folks complained. But I am happy to see it fixed.
Yeah, I watched my first movie in an AMC theater this year. Those clips left me wondering what the heck was going on. Not funny, just weird.
I know, right? Makes you wonder what was going on in that brainstorming session at the ad agency… 🙂
