I'm not usually into animated versions of what is usually already a live action franchise, but this movie looks like it will be good and could be a sleeper hit. It has a well liked character "Peter Parker" Spider-Man as well as introducing the general audience to the more unknown "Spider-People". The movie seems to be even making a previously upopular character, Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham into a hit. From the trailer, it looks like the movie will have a lot of good humor throughout it as well. It's one of the few for the holidays that I'm actually looking forward to seeing and making an effort to catch in the theater.
I hope it's really successful at the box office, because i'd love to see more of the world they build. It really is a great movie.

Don't know if you are kidding or not but.....But it's not a well known character outside of those that read comics in the 1980's. The series may have ran for only a few short years and he maybe made a few small sporadic appearances since then. I don't think it's been used very often since the 80's. I would expect that many more people know who Miles Morales or Spider Gwen are than Peter Porker.

So not well-known. But not necessarily unpopular (in terms of not being liked).

For some reason despite the positive reviews for this I’m not terribly excited about it. I’m planning to see it with some friends and it’ll probably be enjoyable but I dunno. I do like a lot of the Spider-Verse characters too like Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales Spidey. I guess we’ll see if my mind is changed upon seeing it.

The initial advertising that focused on Miles was more effective.

I think for me it’s that it feels way too meta for Spider-Man. I get that it’s going to be that way when you have a bunch of alternate Spider characters interacting with each other, but I don’t know if I feel like that really suits the character(s). That only really works well with Deadpool if you ask me, and even with that character I get sick of it after a while. Also I’m not crazy about the animation style personally.

Don't know if he had his own series, but he would normally have the last few pages of the regular the Spider-Man comics dedicated to him. I always looked forward to that.

3 1/2 stars from one of the reviewers on rogerebert.com. I was mildly interested in this, but I think I'll have to check out a matinee.

Seeing this tonight. I noticed that I was initially going to be sitting in a small theater and when I went back to check the chart they switched it to large auditorium, so that's pretty cool.

It's a good mix of comic book action and storytelling while not taking the material so seriously, which I think is a nice change of pace compared to the live action movies.

Spoiler:
My kids are really excited to see this; releasing this right after the PS4 game was brilliant in that respect. If DC ever got their act together, I'd look forward to a Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew cartoon.

This is weird: http://www.darkhorizons.com/sony-to-...er-verse-look/
Seems weird you can patent something like this.
Sony Animation’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” is getting rave reviews for pretty much everything about it, including its unique visual look.
Now, Deadline reports that the studio has filed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office to get patent protection for the project’s unique animation process. A half-dozen specific animation techniques and technologies are specified and Sony may have to wait anywhere from 3-5 years to hear if the patents are granted.
The film used a process that is a blend of computer animation with hand-drawn touch-ups that’s so complicated and complex that every second in the film took a week to render.
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” opens in cinemas worldwide tomorrow and is currently scoring a 98% (8.9/10) on Rotten Tomatoes and a 86/100 on Metacritic.

He first appeared in a one shot called Marvel Tails. Then two years later had a short lived series called Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham as part of Marvel's Star Comics line.

Depends on how you want to define the term I suppose. His series didn't sell or last very long and he only made sporadic appearance over the next 30 years. So not something people were clamoring for. But this movie may change that and put him in the spotlight.

Just saw it. I generally wouldn’t be interested in something like this but it was awesome. If you’re a fan of Spider-Man I don’t know how you wouldn’t like this.
Stay through the end credits.

holy god is this movie amazing. the heart, the humor, the homages to live-action films, the voice acting, the incredible writing. so smart and well-written. just enthralling! Probably one of best animated theatrical or home video release I’ve seen in longtime. The others, the Pixar’s are great and enjoyable, but of course little kid centric. This was as well, but so smartly written that it felt so much more grown up. Just great.
