The Goon Kickstarter project

Some have been wondering what has been up with the upcoming CG animated feature of the goon. Without further delay, the creators have decided to make it a kickstarter project.

I will tell you guys this. I knew that Hollywood would be too chicken to do this movie.

Not to keen on it. For one thing, they're not rewarding the backers with any animation of any kind, and the goal is way too high.

Someone I know has donated 50 bucks for this project. I have a feeling that they are going to do the story reel first before they start production on getting it started. Besides, didn't one game designer's kickstarter project succeed with this much?

Look up the Top 11 Highest Grossing Successful Kickstarter Campaigns on W Iki. Most of them are related to video games or online web shows. Heck, most of them got up past one million!!!

I don't think this is gonna end well unless a bunch of people all pledge on the last day.

Its not even close to its budget, how the hell can this succeed?

I knew it wouldn't.

I guess everyone knew that, the only thing that can help this out now is a fucking miracle.

edit: I looked at the numbers now, its at $203,437. 200,000 is a half of 400,000. So its halfway there and its got eleven days left. So let me be surprised if this even works.

Hopefully everyone will pledge a ton of money on the last day.

"4,006 backers

$271,177 pledged of $400,000 goal

6 days to go"

I'm getting awfully anxious right now. I really want this project to succeed. It's been a long time since anyone showed that animation isn't a genre but a medium. Seriously, fuck the people who decided that. I want this made NOW. Plus, really, it looks like a hell of a time.

EDIT:

"4,069 backers

$285,165 pledged of $400,000 goal

6 days to go"

It might have a chance.

GO GO GO, BACKERS.

I want this to succeed too. I want to see this happen so we can finally have an animated film in the cinemas that ISNT a kids cartoon. What is wrong with people? Are they even funding this? this only has 6 days left. Fund it people!

There's a chance that this could succeed after all(which I am surprised at). Its at $314,626.

......

...oh GOD there's ACTUALLY A CHANCE THIS COULD SUCCEED. O . O

Looks like I'm going to be eating my hat in front of my friends after all. Since I told them this 5 days after the Kickstarter was made.

-curls into a corner-

Whats ur worry about this?

It just might make it.

Its at $349,698. Its getting there. And it only has three days left before the donations are over, so i'll say it again.

Fund this people

5,569 backers

$353,172 pledged of $400,000 goal

68 hours to go

COME ON. GET IT DONE, GUYS. We know you can build up another $46,828 for this, backers! You guys did get Cheetamen II funded after all! Give it to a project that matters.
