Imaginary

HorrorMystery

Directed by Jeff Wadlow

When Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear… From TMDB

    I watched The Imaginary! The movie was 1h 45m long. tbh this movie was such a magical journey 🥹 it was filled with so much wonder and joy! The movie's main theme is the beauty of imagination, and it captures this theme with amazing worlds and incredible animation! I loved going on this adventure!

    the weirdest part about this movie IF to me is they have this premise of "what if there were a retirement home for Imaginary Friends?" and at no point in this $110m production did anyone say "hey that already exists, literally that exact premise"

    You can find images from "Imaginary Flying Machines" short in the exhibition booklet/pamphlet of "Laputa, The Castle in the Sky and Imaginary Science Fiction Machines" (2002). It also contains images from another short film directed by Hideaki Anno for this Ghibli Museum exhibition.

    The hubby and I watched two movies about imaginary friends - IF and The Imaginary. If was quite good with some emotional moments, Ryan Reynolds basically playing his lovable self yet again. The Imaginary was an interesting ride, with a surprisingly dark story and villain. Both worth the time!

    Had to ask myself If (heh) I even knew about the movie it's for. Nope. At best, I maybe saw a poster once. I think. Apparently IF stands for Imaginary Friend, but they stick to the two letter term. To be hip I guess? Made $190 million on a $110 million budget, so I guess there's that.
