I guess I can’t really do 2010, because it would just be a round-up of the previous years. And no, I am NOT going to do 2015 or 2016.

Those seem like pretty good casting choices, though I feel like the amount of celebrities could be reduced a bit so the movie isn’t criticized for relying to much on celebrities. But some of them should definitely be kept, like for example, Michelle Pfieffer would be amazing as Gorast.

I always feel like these casting things are kind of silly, since they tend to rely on pre-existing talent out there, usually ultra-celebrities of some sort (like really? Bill Murray as Raanu? why?). Like, in some cases it makes sense. Say… transformers, or something, where you already have multiple voice casts from the shows to choose from that you know would suit the role. A lot of the time, these things will bring in pretty new talent too, people nobody’s ever heard of before. You need to remember for example that before the MCU, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were kinda nobodies. The fame needs to start somewhere, after all

Sorry…I was at a loss. 
Yeah, I guess I agree with that. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of lesser movie stars to catapult to higher fame.

Ok, here’s what my dream Bionicle movie would be like in 3 main sections:
-
Story & plot:, Unlike others’ visions, My film’s story would serve as an introduction to a proper G3 for older and newer fans alike. It would draw a lot of inspiration from the golden years of G1, but overall, it would be a hard reboot that would take notes from the flash-back years too. (In terms of sub-themes and message, though.) The main characters would be the 6 Toa (Mata), who got hybernated in a chamber deep underground when discovered by a small team of villagers in the first 20 or so minutes of the film who accidentally reawaken them. In the rest of the film, the Toa would face the harsh reality that they’ve been in suspended animation for over 2000 years, and because of this, they have to relearn all the things they once knew.
-
Visuals & VFX: My film would be entirely Cgi based, but instead of the usual highly realistic and polished look, it would be more stylized and artistic in its art style. E.g., Instead of a typical modern Disney or Pixar animation style, it would be more like Spider-verse- Puss in Boots.
-
Production: I think the company that should make it is Universal with Dreamworks animation. I’m not entirely sure about the voice cast, though I prefer to cast professional voice actors for the roles than A-list celebrities. Most that come to my mind like Tara Strong, Tom Kenny, Phil Lamar, David Kaye, Etc.

Have Bomonga voiced by the same guy who does Wrecker’s voice in The Bad Batch.

We could just have Dee Bradley Baker and Tom Kenny voice everyone
I’m gonna add Tara Strong and Jim Cummings. There, that’s Endgame-tier ensemble cast

No, PLEASE not like the new Puss In Boots. That animation was so bad…

Nothing looked fully rendered. Nothing. Especially the characters’ hair and fur. And don’t get me started on the terrible fire effects.

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but I think that was an intentional stylistic choice. It’s reminiscent of Spiderverse’s animation
I like it, but to each their own ;)

Here’s the problem: Puss In Boots 2 is the sixth movie in the franchise. The first five movies did not use this animation style. So to have this new installment suddenly adopt this downgraded animation is REALLY jarring.
Spider-Verse was a different situation, because it was the first movie in its franchise. It could be whatever it wanted, since it was laying the groundwork not just for itself, but for any future sequels it had. So there was nothing “jarring” about it using a different animation style.
They just look like blobs of orange/yellow.

Calling the animation style a downgrade is definitely a hot take - this film followed in the footsteps of Bad Guys and copied a lot of its rulebook from that film, and most everyone agrees that both films did a fantastic job with their visual styles.
Not everything in the new Puss 'n Boots film is to my liking, as certain portions of the film and certain character appearances clashed hard with everything else there, but the Shrek films thrived on a jarring too-real visual style which made everything slightly unnerving - this was largely adjusted in the fourth Shrek film, but the whole off-putting nature of the visuals and approach to storytelling is so tied to the film property I can’t make myself imagine a Shrek in this style.
But this isn’t a Shrek film, it’s a spinoff film loosely based around an existing spinoff film which was absolute trash. So it’s more than free to play by its own rules, and being the first film in which Puss doesn’t look creepy definitely gives it ground imo.
But on topic:
I’m curious what you mean by this. Do you mean less character detail, a lighter weight to the dynamics of the world the characters live in, the exaggerated and snappy animation style, etc.?

Would you like to continue to live in the Pixar-style Karzahni-scape we were living in prior?
I mean some aspects of it (the style introduced in Tangled and which has dominated ever since) were nice but I think it’s time cartoons actually brought back the exaggerated and artistic elements possible in such a medium rather than striving solely for realism.
But hey each to their own I suppose.
Some stuff was partially rendered I believe, it was done to make it look “painted” and personally I could still see the textures, in fact better than usual, I could imagine how coarse the bears fur was for one.
To be fair that gif has been crunched up.
It’s also been a hot minute since the last one. And as others said, it’s a spin-off.
When said like this, I am reminded of the flash animations of MNOG, snappy, simplified, exaggerated so on so forth. So to me the “Sony/Dreamworks new style” fits Bionicle in a nice throw back way. Although I still believe a show format would do it justice better… you know what…I think I know some clowns embarking on such a project

What I want to see is a faithful adaptation of the existing Bionicle story, and that can’t be done with a movie; I’d go for a multi-season show, possibly with a couple of spin-off seasons for the Toa Mangai running around the same time as the end of the Metru Nui arc and the beginning of the Voya Nui arc.
In a perfect world, any Bionicle adaptation would have super high quality animation, with all the little internal details fully rendered and entire anatomy designs planned out to show all the mechanical parts moving as they should.
Obviously, though, this is an unrealistic level of effort for any franchise. In a more realistic sphere, I’d honestly be fine with MNOG-level animation as long as the story is accurate. My one criteria, though, would be that the animation has enough detail to differentiate between mechanical and organic parts, both within individual characters and when comparing an artificial being to a Spherus Magnan.

Funny, I liked the animation in the new movie. I am not all too familiar with the Shrek franchise (I only really watched the Puss in Boots stuff and not even all of that), but I looked through the animation used until now and I honestly think that Puss in Boots now looks better than ever before. I really dig the stylized approach the movie took, and to be honest, a lot of the human characters in the prior movies looked somewhat uncanny. For me it was a definite visual step upwards from prior installments (since I didn’t see the original Shrek movies in their entirety I go off the clips that I’ve found on the Internet.)
I could imagine that the style would work with Bionicle.
