Trailer #2

[/QUOTE]

The trailer’s great…but isn’t it a little disturbing that the humans are being treated as just meat puppets?

I wonder how they’re going to deal with that in the movie…

I just saw the fellow who played Herman (William Ragsdale) on “White Collar” the other day - hadn’t seen him in anything for ages (Herman’s Lust was in “Down Periscope” and of course Herman’s coworker is Lisa Simpson).

That’s what I thought when I saw the trailer! And I think it’ll be about as good as that show was, too! (The show sucked.)

Not a new idea, not an original take on the old idea either. Dreck, IMO.

Those trailers look awesome. I’m pumped for this. And here I thought it would be a down movie year after Avengers: Age of Ultron.

This is the first I’ve heard of the film. I’m excited now. It looks awesome. Hopefully it’s better than Brave. I hated that movie.

So far it lists 26 critics, (2 Top Critics), who all gave it positive reviews. I can’t wait!

It’s a throwaway line, but it made me laugh: “Thank you, San Francisco. You’ve ruined pizza!”

(Actually, Nwingland ruined pizza long ago. I’ll take a good California-style pizza with broccoli, as shown in the trailer, over one more soggy goopfest cut the wrong way…)

After 25 reviews its Metacritic score is 94, which is crazy high (the linked page also shows blurbs from each review):

The Lego Movie was also rated insanely high yet, I would agree with the OP that it was hardly Citizen Kane. Wreck-It Ralph was a better film (and also not Citizen Kane). My guess would be that reviewers accept that they’re too corrupted by art films and foreign films to really be able to tell what makes a good kids’ film. But they know that they’ll lose readers if they trash them as being empty, formulaic nonsense, so they probably take the Google popularity, the production company’s previous record, and then keep score during the viewing for anything possibly offensive and rate the movie based on those metrics.

Or, y’know… they have different tastes than you do.

So does this movie have anything to offer for the kids? Or has Pixar made it’s first adult focused film.  
I’d hate to be at the theatre really enjoying this thing while the kids that got dragged their by their parents start to get bored and restless.  
Maybe better to save this one for home viewing?

I’m actually going with my parents, (I’m 34 years old.)

I think that it looks like a movie that all ages will enjoy.

Possible, but doubtful. Both my brother and my dad have tastes that match professional movie reviewers fairly lockstep, due to watching 1000s of movies a year. They would both need to cheat if they wanted to review kids or popcorn movies and not lose their job.

In interviews as part of the build-up, they discuss the premise as focused on an 11-year-old girl and her emotions as she grows into a teen, and to serve as a “translator” of the underlying neuroscience of emotions to educate preteens about that they are going through and parents what to expect. So I hear.

It looks good, but I’m far more psyched about **Shaun the Sheep**. Aardman has been leaving Pixar in its dust the past few years.

Now that I know this movie is on the horizon, I’m looking forward to it also.

And I saw the first [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9lmhBYB11U) for _Zootopia_ yesterday. I know you can’t judge a movie by its trailer but the trailer was good.
