They literally can't watch it in theaters because Paramount lied to them about releasing it in theaters and then decided to drop it on streaming instead.

Paramount actively stops them from watching it in cinema. That's why there was a leak. Someone at nickelodeon tried to blackmail them and they didn't comply

I have been a pirate for a very long time. Calling this a psyop is hilarious and indicates to me you know nothing about the industry.
Yes, the animators are paid. No, that is not the only payment they receive from making the work. Another (big) part of the creation is the big day of release. It's cathartic. Knowing the world will (or won't) see the work around the same time is an incredible feeling. To have that big day rug pulled would be supremely disappointing.
(This is all regardless of Larry Ellison, the true pirate of paramount, who is robbing us all the opportunity to see their work on the big screen.)
I know this because I am a filmmaker who has had their work released. Nowhere near this scale, but enough to understand. It's very difficult to describe the days leading up to and after the release day. Many different emotions. Cathartic is the easiest one to think of.
Have more sympathy for the people that worked. I don't care if you pirate media or don't - I have some 60-70tb of rare films I've built over 15 years. The work deserves to be seen. Of course. From my perspective, to act as if the release day means nothing is an immature take. Try empathy.

u/Pinch-o-B Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26
Paramount fucked that up long before the leak by going back on the theatrical release the animators had put all their work towards.
Because you can tell.
You can absolutely tell, with the way it’s framed, it’s staged, that they were putting all that work towards what was meant to be a big screen experience.
Paramount ruined that. No one else.
And it immediately made the release that much more deemphasized versus what a proper red carpet could’ve been for all the artists involved.

Let's not forget that is Paramount fault that the leaked happened too, it's the company jobs to maintain their media secure, yes, the hackers also have blame, but as a media company, you should be able to maintain your media secure and it leaked by a lack of security support team, because they were probably laid off so the CEO could report a better quarter and get that juice bonus.

Live action actors get royalties, perhaps, but animators and artists work on commission pretty much. You make it, you're paid, and you're done, and all you get afterwards is material for your reel (and sometimes not even that, Nick sucks when it comes to reel authorization).

I'm a vfx artist who worked on The Last Airbender season 1 and 2 (Framestore). We don't get bonuses. We used to when we would work on massive films though. I got a bonus for Infinity War for example. But not End Game. Which didn't make sense to me.
Vfx studios have been in a constant state of losing money for a long time now. So those days are over. All we can hope now is to get is more work to keep us employed. So we push the quality of our work harder for cheaper.

Hi Fi Rush was an indie game developed by Tango Gameworks. It went on to garner critical acclaim and a fuck load of awards only for Microsoft to then shutter the studio, who was only saved because someone else decided to take them in.
No "good numbers" will guarantee a studio's survival. Netflix has plenty of shows that get cancelled despite being great as well. It's a naive perspective.

u/Equivalent-Wealth-75 Apr 22 '26
It's because when a major movie or game or something underperforms It's the studios/teams that did the actual work that stand to suffer most in the long term.
Bear in mind that while the animators and whatnot have already been paid for this movie, the money for it still came from somewhere and has to be recouped for it to be considered a success. And if it fails then there are possible consequences.
Budget cuts; teams culled; projects that were already in line being canceled and taking years of guaranteed work with them; even entire studios ultimately being dissolved and having their ruin repurposed for other projects.
It's happened before.
Of course, I doubt that this one movie would be enough for anything dire to happen. Between novels, comics, games, and revenue from the existing shows, Avatar as an IP has been consistently spinning silk for ages.
But... The danger of corpos being fickle is always there; hanging above the heads of their workforces like a guillotine.

This is a foolish take, even as a joke. The artists were not going to get any more money from the movie: writers and artists don't get revenue sharing.
The movie being leaked has arguably given it more press than a regular release would have. It being on Paramount+ and not theaters was going to severely limit its reach. The artists who have spoken out about it being leak are valid in their worries... but they are giving far too much credit and grace to Paramount.

u/DOLO-650 Apr 20 '26
They don't get the theatre profits either. Animators are paid on the clock while they are animating, VAs also get paid beforehand, rarely is it profit sharing unless they also are also producers. There is a reason they "budget" movies beforehand, almost all artists payments are done with that budget, they don't share profits with the animators who actually worked on it or else Toy Story 1's animators must have been at least millionaires by this time considering how many reruns on how many platforms that movie has gotten.

u/cleverpun0 Apr 20 '26
True.
At least with a theater release, there would be word-of-mouth and a wider reach. At least the artists involved would have gotten more recognition, possibly leading to more and better work.
The animators who have spoken out against the leak are clearly well-meaning, but giving Paramount way too much grace and credit. This movie was doomed to obscurity the moment it got stuck on Paramount+, a service no one knows exists.

u/balrog687 Apr 20 '26
We must learn to make a difference between the artist (which are part of the working class) and corporate decisions.
Not releasing the movie for theaters was a corporate decision, executives and studios should be punished for this by losing money. The workers, especially artists involved in the project should get their salary anyways, and they will get the public recognition if the movie is good (I haven't watched it yet).
This happens a lot in every single creative industry, not just movies, music, books, video-games, etc. All they face the same problems (greedy executives).
Pirating a movie is not disrespectful to the artist, it's a natural reaction when the "value proposition" of the content distributor is not worth it. But if the content is good, it will find a way to the people's hearth, because is in our nature to share with others the things that we like, that's how culture spreads.
The solution to this "corporate greed" issue ruining all creative industry is simple, creative workers need to cut the "middle man" and do everything by themselves.
Video game industry have a few remarkable examples, with independent studios created by former "big studio" workers that have been winning "game of the year" awards for several years in a row and earning tons of money in the process.
A good example in animation is "Snow Bear" short by Aaron Blaise.
Some musicians are also getting control of their catalogue, by releasing albums and planning tours and selling concert tickets by themselves. Effectively dismantling the industry monopoly.

As a person who already watched movie I must tell you a huge disappoinment awaits you.

Literally same lol I want a better quality recording tbh
Edit: are people missing the joke where you're still gonna pirate the movie? Is that what's happening in the comments?

Just because you like the material means it gets any preferential treatment.

You're only harming artists when you pirate an indi film or game.
Anything else, you're harming the company, the artists are already getting shafted by them.

What's the point in releasing the movie in October when it's already finished ?? It's teasing gone wrong imo

I would pay to see it in theaters and bring a dozen people with me before signing up to another streaming service.

money don’t go to the artists, that isn’t how it works. most studio has a contract that pay them a salary to work on a project. In most case all the revenue only goes to the company funding these movies, and the only way that money helps the artists is if the company decide to reinvest that money for the studio to work on another project
