Okay, what’s this? It’s eight days to the premier of Finding Nemo, and there’s still no discussion about it in CP! Hrmpth!
Surely I can’t be the only Doper who thinks everything Pixar does is pure gold, right? Surely I’m not the only person who’s eagerly anticipating this movie more than any of the other smmer 2003 blockbusters, right?. Surely I’m not the only doper who’s starved for Nemo-related chatter, right? Right?
C’mon, folks! Get yerselves out of that coral reef and start chattin’!
Finding Nemo is the only Hollywood movie that I have any interest in seeing this summer. The animation looks awesome. As for the trailer, I’m willing to believe that the best parts of the movie are longer sequences that they couldn’t fit in, so they just had to go for lackluster one-liners. The early reviews say that the screenplay is better than Monsters Incorporated.
Just love the trailer, everything but those idiotic turtles. Looking forward to it in a big way. It is just amazing how each of these new computer generated blockbusters takes such a quantum leap above the last one.
I liked the teaser trailer (“Will a bigger fish eat me?!”), but I agree the trailers currently running don’t look too appealing. Fortunately, I’m such a Pixar junkie that the trailer could be 120 seconds of a blank screen and the title, and I’d be all eager to see it anyway.
There’s a theory floating around that Disney is out to deliberately screw up the marketing for Finding Nemo – Pixar and Disney are going to re-negotiate their agreements after its release, and the better Nemo does, the stronger Pixar’s hand becomes. Not sure what to make of it, personally.
I am looking forward to this movie immensely. Pixar rule.
Unfortunately it does not come out here until August (despite the fact it is set here), so I am pissed off about that. I bought the Art Of… book and everything (but then I always do, I have quite a nice collection) and now it’s just a looooong waiting game.
I love Pixar movies. I like the ‘out-takes’ at the end and that they go to the trouble of making them.
At the end of the trailer when the fish belched and then they cut to the two seagulls…I knew what was coming and busted out laughing, took about five minutes for me to calm down.
Hubby says he doesn’t want to see it but knows he’ll regret it if he doesn’t. He always enjoys them too. I think he thinks that ‘sophisticated adults’ aren’t suppose to like animated movies/cartoons, but me and the little kid in him are winning the cartoon fight.
Bring it on! Looks to be the best thing to come along since SHREK. (I know, I know. . . not a Pixar movie, but a fine example of animated movie entertainment IMHO!)
The trailer on the Spirited Away DVD looked awesome, but I’m in agreement that the ads currently running on TV aren’t that exciting. I still have high hopes for it, though, and would love to see it.
I think Albert Brooks and Ellen Degenres are both funny and should be great in it. I also don’t care for surfer turtle voice. I thought that was trendy back with Fast Times at Ridgemont High and died with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I’m going to see it, most likely, but I’m a little leery. Monsters was one of my fave movies of the past 10 years, but Ice Age was such a letdown that I want to go to Nemo with no expectations whatsoever.
Should be awesome. And I for one hope Pixar shakes off Disney asap. Had a friend who’s sister is a budding animator. The Pixar folks spoke at her school and showed a sneak preview of Monster’s Inc. They also spoke pretty candidly about butting heads with Disney over character designs, especially Mike, who Disney insisted wouldn’t work, due to only having the one eye.
I’m definitely in the “would pay to see Pixar do anything” group. They’re batting a thousand IMHO.
