In this episode of the Kids Media Club Podcast, our hosts chat with Simon Pulman, entertainment lawyer and returning guest to the show. They get together to discuss the topic that everyone is talking about. Namely the Minecraft Movie. What factors contributed to its startling commercial success? Was it by respecting the source material or by ensuring the Minecraft community felt properly represented and seen? Will Hollywood learn from this or grab the wrong end of the stick? Simon, Jo, Emily, and Andy unpick the pixels behind the story to uncover how the Minecraft Movie went from sandbox to cinematic triumph.
