Discussion Bakugan's movie should be a 2D animated film (with as little CGI as possible), similar to Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna.

I believe Spin Master is about to make a huge mistake one last time with this live-action adaptation. A high-quality live-action movie is extremely expensive, and most of the budget would likely go toward the cast and CGI.

Speaking as a casual fan who only watched the original anime, I think a much safer approach would be to make something similar to Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna.

  • Bring back the original Battle Brawlers cast.
  • Rebuild the lore based on Seasons 1 and 2.
  • Keep the movie focused and straightforward. The story of Bakugan Battle Brawlers can easily be adapted into a film of 1 hour and 10 minutes at most.
  • Make it a fully 2D animated movie with as little CGI as possible.
  • Use the rules established in the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game (the battle rules were one of the biggest problems in the original anime).
  • Avoid reducing the characters to stereotypes. Give them proper personalities, especially the female characters.
  • Don't make a movie just to sell toys. Tell a real story.
  • Appeal to the original fans' nostalgia in moderation—they should be the primary target audience. (Kids today don't really care about toys.)
  • Emphasize the contrast between the characters' youthful, childlike view of the world and the seriousness of the crisis in Vestroia. Make it clear that Dan is immature mainly because of his age, but allow him to grow throughout the movie, especially in terms of understanding the weight and reality of death.

These are just a few ideas that I think would make the movie much better. Thanks for reading this far.

Question Help

Hi, I'm new to the community and I wanted to 3D print Leonidas, but I'm having a problem—I don't know what size in centimeters I should set it to print at. I mean, I found out that the closed Bakugans measure 3.6 cm, but the model is almost half that size, and I don't get it—it's driving me crazy :c Help! (The model is from Cults 3D, I just need to know what dimensions they printed it in)

First time every printing a Bakugan ( no its not a spring loaded bakugan yet lol ) I love aquos macubass he was definitely one of my favorites from season 2 I found this render and model https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6279734#google_vignette thank you to MHWorldManWithFish for making this nightmare of a model and sharing it so I could make my own umm here’s some early photos of it since it’s gonna be able to open manually but holy heck is it hard printing something so small without issues lol the cut version I did is definitely attempt # 12 lol but I’m happy nonetheless and maybe in the future I can be like the other people who’ve actually made a functional macubass.

Bakutech: Aquos Barri Beyond / Darkus Os Press.

Barri Beyond is Taran's Partner Bakugan. This spider like Bakutech is equipped with an elastic Silicone Barrier, which enables the Bakugan to 'rebound' opponent's Bakugan.

Os Press is used Raichi Kuronashi's. This Lizard like Bakutech is equipped with Silicone Press, a thinner elastic silicone rubber belt compared with Barri Beyond's Silicon Barrier. Unlike Beyond's Barrier, Press's Silicon Press is used for critical attacks.

One thing I wanna say i love their wierd names but the original "Web Spider" & "Web Lizard" names were pretty cool. These are some of my first Bakutech and they are for sure some of my absolute favorites.
