Disney are in control of this series now because of course they are. They added a Mickey Mouse short that crosses Paul Rudish Mickey over with miniature robots that look like they came out of the Transformers movies but are apparently supposed to be part of the Pacific Rim universe. I missed the beginning and was too exhausted from rushing to the IMAX cinema to pay attention to the rest.
And when the movie starts, they play not one but TWO variants of the Disney logo. One where it just pans from the right instead of above, and one that's supposed to be set in the world of Pacific Rim but looks like a fresh, futuristic world (like, uh, Tomorrowland) that plays as normal before zooming around the area for another minute, transitioning to a prologue. There is in fact a light-hearted, traditionally animated prologue by the Disney Animation Studios themselves set in a town in Jerusalem. Do we get the slightest hint of backstory to the kaiju? Nope, we get fully-CG Dougal from the Magic Roundabout movie.
Cut to the real world and it feels just like Michael Bay directed this. Nothing about the jaegers, just dudes playing basketball and a government plotting. Hating this more than I imagined, I walked out five minutes into the main feature before things started exploding; I didn't see a kaiju or a jaeger once, just Transformers-y comic relief. 8 months ago

It's even worse than I imagined. The animation isn't that bland for Illumination (no motion blurs), but the format sure is. A trailer shows the Grinch in his teenage years, living with a whole clan of multicoloured Grinches inside a cave. Rather than pure villainy he has a smug, "pff, whatever" attitude. All the Grinches throw a dance party in the cave to modern synth pop. 8 months, 2 weeks ago
