This seems way more like what we've grown to expect from Pixar than the upcoming Onward. I say that mainly because I'm definitely more intrigued by the contents of this Soul teaser than any & everything I've seen out of Onward. This feels like it has all the emotion & soul if you will, of previous Pixar films. While the comedy seems like it's there, it by no means seemed to be the only intent. Even in just this teaser I see something that I feel like we’ll be talking about for years. The synopsis that came with the trailer was deep. Directed by two-time Academy Award®-winner Pete Docter, & co-directed by Kemp Powers with Academy Award®-nominee Dana Murray producing, Soul opens in theaters on June 19, 2020. According to Docter, “It started with my son—he’s 23 now—but the instant he was born, he already had a personality,” says Docter. “Where did that come from? I thought your personality developed through your interaction with the world. And yet, it was pretty clear that we’re all born with a very unique, specific sense of who we are.” Soul introduces Joe Gardner, a middle-school band teacher whose true passion is playing jazz. “I think Joe is having that crisis that all artists have,” says Powers. “He’s increasingly feeling like his lifelong dream of being a jazz musician is not going to pan out and he’s asking himself ‘Why am I here? What am I meant to be doing?’ Joe personifies those questions.” The synopsis went on , “In the film, just when Joe (Jamie Foxx) thinks his dream might be in reach, a single unexpected step sends him to a fantastical place where he’s is forced to think again about what it truly means to have soul. That’s where he meets and ultimately teams up with 22 (Tina Fey), a soul who doesn’t think life on Earth is all it’s cracked up to be.” This sounds fabulous! Great talent, & a story that will undoubtedly come with some amazing music, heart, & soul. What did y'all think of this amazing teaser trailer? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Disney's “Jungle Cruise” Gets An Official Trailer
Disney has been trying to capture the attraction goes movie magic of Pirates of the Caribbean for awhile now. Judging by this official trailer for their newest attempt in the form of Jungle Cruise, they might actually pull that off this time around. Starring guaranteed money, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson & Emily Blunt in an adventure filled Amazon adventure, I loved this trailer's ode to the ride that inspired the film. With The Rock taking the role of a scam of a tour boat Captain not too far from the actual attraction. Emily Blint will hire his boat being the ambitious treasure hunter she us. Depending on where the adventure takes us, this could prove to finally revisit the greatness that Pirates achieved. Loved this first trailer, can’t wait to see more. How about y'all? Can this match the level of greatness of Pirates of the Caribbean? Or will people be scared away ala Haunted Mansion? Put your thoughts in the comments, like, & share.
New “Onward" Trailer. Wait, It's About What Now?
I've been wondering what a post-Lasseter Pixar was going to look like. If these trailers for Onward have been any sign, I’m a little worried about what's to come. While this looks like it could be hilarious, & the animation looks great, the previews make it seem like it’ll be somewhat forgettable. Like a DreamWorks film. While they’re good, they don’t seem to stick around & pop up in my everyday life forever like Disney, Disney/Pixar films do. This new trailer gives us a look into the actual plot, & for me it takes yet another step into DreamWorks territory. When both the brother pass 16 their dad left them magic wand that can bring him to life for 1 day. However, when they try, they only bring back his bottom half. The 3 go on a quest to finish the spell & return their dad fully. The unicorns once again were favorite part of the trailer. The rest looks like it could be absolutely hilarious, with a great team in Pratt & Holland. I just don’t know if it's going to move past hilarious to the kind of thing we’re used to from Pixar. Fingers crossed though. I want to see Pixar keep churning out classics. Curious to hear what others think about this one though. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
How Did “Frozen II” Become One Of My Most Anticipated Films Of The Year?
I know I’ve been away for almost a month. I’m working out some things here & there, but I couldn't miss taking some time for this new trailer for Frozen II. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first film. I mean, I loved Olaf, but the film itself didn't hit me the way it seemed to hit everyone else. Over time as the hype died down & I had seen it a few more times it grew on me. I never thought I'd be highly anticipating a sequel though. Then came the first trailer. Elsa taking her role to save the kingdom in almost superhero fashion. This newest look just builds on that with a big shift to the adventure aspect. It basically doubles down on the first look. We get a sense of the plot through a story told to the children by their parents. Of an enchanted forest where something went horribly wrong. Once again seeming to be tied into the elements. Elsa is being drawn by a voice, inspiring this adventure. Once again, epic is the word to use. This looks epic. Turning this Princess tale into something more akin to Willow or Lord of the Rings than your usual Princess fare. Anyway, I can’t wait for this, & the inevitable songs it will bring with it that we won’t be able to forget if we try. What about y'all? Is everyone else on for this like I am?

New Official Trailer For "Frozen II"
Somehow this trailer was just as awesome as the first for Frozen II, the highly anticipated sequel to one of the highest grossing pieces of animation ever. Along with it we get se teases of finding put how Elsa got her powers, as well as her transition from Queen to Superhero. As the trailer states they've always thought her powers were to much for the world to stand, but now they question if it'll be enough to save it. I'm so excited for this film as the last one was pretty centered in one place. As this one takes the story into new heights with a more action & adventure direction. These previews have brought me in with an amazing amount of anticipation for a film i thought i wasn't even gonna be to pumped about until I saw the first. In fact I kinda wish I could trade spots with Lion King on this one. I'm ready to build a snowman again! What about y'all? Am I the only one that dug this trailer as much as the first?

First Official Trailer For Pixar's "Onward"
"Set in a suburban fantasy world, Disney and Pixar’s Onward introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there. Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new original feature film is directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae—the team behind Monsters University.” That's the synopsis for the first official trailer for Onward, releasing in theaters on March 6, 2020, & honestly I'm not really feeling this one. Great cast attached, but this doesn't really even feel like a Pixar film to me. It could be great. Judging by just the synopsis & trailer though, it's nothing I'm really excited for. While it looks cute, not only was I not intrigued, it failed in its many attempts to make me laugh. The only thing that really got me was the unicorn gag. I loved that. I just couldn't help but keep thinking this felt like it came out of another studio, like DreamWorks. Hopefully before this comes out I'll see something that gets me excited. What about y'all? I'm curious to see if this did anything for anyone else. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
New Aladdin Official Trailer Almost Restores My Faith
So, after the initial Genie reveal for Aladdin, I thought it was going to take a whole lot to restore my trust the film being good. Looks like all it took was a full trailer. I'm not saying this made me go full 180. Not by any means. I still think their Jafar is far from the evilness of his animated counterpart. This guy still totally reminds me of the cologne guy at a department store. On top of that I'm not 100% on the look of Genie, even though this extended look helped a whole lot. This proved at least what I thought in Smith being a good pick for at least conveyingthe role, & seeing a little magic behind him helped the overall look. Which was my only problem after that first reveal. Those being the only shakey parts still though. As the rest of this film looks amazing. The parkour style chase in the beginning looked thrilling, the carpet scenes were totally magical, & I'm way into the casting of Jasmine & Aladdin. So, while this didn't completely sell me on the look of Genie still, & more so the presence of Jafar, it did give me the impression that this is still going to be a very entertaining film. For right now I trust in Aladdin once again. What about y'all? The internet skewered this last time. Does this alleviate any of your worries as it did some of mine?

"Frozen II" To Totally Deliver On Some Action
This is a lot more than I expected from a Frozen II trailer. Heavy on the action whether it be Elsa trying g to scale massive waves, whole fleets of reindeer, or Anna drawing her sword for battle in the end, this looks like it's gonna be intense. I didn't know what to expect from this sequel at all, but I definitely wasn't expecting action/adventure at all. I can't believe it, but this little teaser actually has me super excited for the return of Frozen . For what it was, this quick look was absolutely amazing. I really didn't care whether this went forward or not until now. With this, bring it on! Take my money now! I know it's not much, but what'd y'all think of this apparent new direction for Frozen?

New Trailer For "Ralph Breaks The Internet" Gave Me Exactly What I Asked For
After all the teasers & trailers we've seen for Ralph Breaks the Internet up to this one, I mentioned that it looked hilarious, I didn't really see the heart from the previous film. This newest trailer delivers on just that. It seems in Penelope's quest for what we know now is a replacement steering wheel, she develops a fondness for the internet life. Much to the contrast of Ralph's feelings on the matter. At least, that's what I'm gathering from what I just watched. Adding the heart I was looking for in previous clips. This wrapped this whole thing up for me in a nice little perfect package. If these trailers are an inkling of where this movie is going? It has potential to be even better than the first. Not only that, it's double/tripling down on the the nostalgia/pop culture thing this time around. Which as an old school gamer was one of my favorite parts about the first. November 21st seems like a long wait, but in all actuality, it's just around the corner. This trailer was everything I needed to go into this one with no worries at all. What's y'all's thoughts on this newest trailer for Ralph Breaks the Internet ? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"Mary Poppins Returns" Official Trailer Debuted!!
I'm officially super excited for Mary Poppins Returns after this trailer. They made sure to show you this has a little of everything you loved from the original. This gives a real look into what to expect from the upcoming sequel. It seems much in same ballpark as this year's Christopher Robin . As it looks like it's really going to deal with growing up, & forgetting what's important while lost in your grownup world. Which is also basically the original theme, totally forgetting your children while wrapped up in the complications of life. Mary Poppins pops in right when she's needed the most. With music, dancing, magic, & a little trip to an animated world. Writing all this brings me to my biggest 2 concerns. Are we just going through the motions of what has already been done? Just playing on nostalgia? And if not can Mary Poppins really return from 1964? Will this film work in 2018 with a mass audience? The first is the one that concerns me the most. This trailer looks more like a remake than a sequel. In fact, if you were to turn off the sound, I'd argue some would just think it was a remake. Putting that major concern aside though, I thought the trailer was amazing. Everyone looked perfect in their roles, the animation looked absolutely amazing, & it totally captured the spirit of the original Mary Poppins . There is a chance this just feels rehashed, but to judge just by this trailer alone, December 19th has a lot of potential to be great. I'm curious to hear what y'all think though?

Edna Mode Leads Off New Trailer For "Incredibles 2"
The new trailer for Pixar's Incredibles 2 reuses some footage from the 2017 D23 Expo alongside some new Edna Mode moments from the upcoming sequel. She's in a battle for sole rights to the Incredible's superhero wardrobe, & I'm so hoping they build on this notion more. I loved this footage the first time around, & if I were Disney*Pixar I'd use it again too. The real life model approach is friggin hilarious. I k is it's going to be stuck in my head every time I see her in screen now. Anyway, really fun trailer, what do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, and share.
Trailer For Disney's "Christopher Robin" Has Arrived
I was expecting a little announcement type tease like we got with Mary Poppins Returns on Sunday for Christopher Robin. Instead I got an actual teaser trailer. I've been excited for this film since I heard they had nabbed Ewan McGregor for Christopher Robin. This teaser was everything I was expecting. This is to Winnie the Pooh what Hook was to Peter Pan . In fact, Christopher looks to almost be in the same spot as Peter was in the beginning of that film. If I thought I got nostalgic for a look at Ms. Poppins, I went back to crib & diapers the second I heard Pooh. Coming soon, Christopher Robin is directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder and a story by Perry based on characters created by A.A. Milne. Produced by Brigham Taylor and Kristin Burr with Renée Wolfe and Jeremy Johns serving as executive producers, the film also stars Hayley Atwell as Christopher's wife Evelyn, Bronte Carmichael as his daughter Madeline, and Mark Gatiss as Keith Winslow, Robin’s boss. Voicing are favorite silly ol bear & crew will be Jim Cummings as Winnie the Pooh; Chris O’Dowd as Tigger; Brad Garrett as Eeyore; Toby Jones as Owl; Nick Mohammed as Piglet; Peter Capaldi as Rabbit; and Sophie Okonedo as Kanga. I can't wait! Are y'all on board for Christopher Robin? What about this teaser? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Did You Catch This "Incredibles 2" Trailer During The Olympics?
Got a trailer for Pixar's upcoming, long awaited sequel, Incredibles 2 during the Winter Olympics. It basically followed the rundown we've been getting. Rich guy wants Elastigirl to be the face of "Supers" returning to the limelight. Meanwhile, Mr. Incredible gets to play Mr. Mom while Jack-Jack's multiple power set is emerging. I'm loving this first look at this film! The first film was the best interpretation of the Fantastic Four we've ever had. This looks like it's going to pick up right where that one left off, & hit the ground running. I never thought I would be saying that the best parts of this movie look like they're going to come from Mr. Incredible's adventures in babysitting. Judging by this trailer alone, I feel like this is going to be everything we've been waiting for. With an extra helping of Frozone this time around! I'm sure we'll be getting more on the way to June 15th, but so far I'm lovin' what I'm seein'. What did y'all think about this trailer? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
This Golden Globe Trailer Is The Best I've Seen "A Wrinkle In Time" So Far
This newest TV spot for the Globes is probably the best put together trailer for Disney's A Wrinkle In Time to date. All it's missing is a shot of the creepy suburbia in there & it'd be perfect. Everything in this trailer looks great. That's just judging this trailer though, I still have some performance worries from previous trailers. This does put them a little more at ease though. I'm thinking this is going to shape up do be a pretty decent family flick. Not great, but it looks like it's going to be good, & a little something for everyone. That said, I hope it blows me away, but my expectations are at a solid good until then. Whay do y'all think though? What's your excitement level for A Wrinkle In Time?

"Wrinkle In Time" New Trailer Still Leaves Me Wondering
The second trailer for Disney's A Wrinkle in Time has dropped, & for me it comes with mixed feelings. It's visuals are stunning to say the least, this thing looks beautiful. The story sounds very intriguing, I can't wait to dive into this. I was going to watch the original, but I remember it so little I don't want to spoil this one by doing so. My only worry, just from the trailer, is the performances come off kinda hollow. I don't know if that's just in the fact that there's no real context or what. I just felt like the actors were actors, & that's never good. You want to lose yourself to the fact that those are the characters, & like I said, with more context, not just clips, that could come through. I'm actually more concerned this winds up like Tomorrowland. I thought that movie was great, something Walt would've loved, & no one went to see it. That was a real shame. I hope this one is just as good, better even, but even more so, I hope people go to find out. Dug the trailer overall, caught my attention, & my imagination. Question is what did y'all think?

Pixar Gives One Final Peek At Coco Before It's Thanksgiving Release
Pixar wanted to give us one more look at Coco with this final trailer, before it's right around the corner release on Thanksgiving day. I will not be seeing this one the night before. I've decided that since the wife has to work Thanksgiving eve, we will all be spending this Turkey Day together as a family with with Coco. This trailer did nothing to change my mind of that. As with everything else, every time I see more of this movie I get more & more excited. Everything about it is beautiful, & if you forgot, it starts with a long short starring everyone's favorite summer snowman, Olaf in Olaf's Frozen Adventure. I'm so excited for this film I'm not only thinking about buying one of those awesome plush flying cat things, I might brake tradition & pick up the soundtrack before this movie even comes out. I fell in love with the music first anyway... Gonna switch this up a little bit, If you're not "signed on" already for this film, why? I'm wanting to know if there's anyone with mixed feelings on this one? What's your hang ups? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
If You're Not On Board With Coco Yet Check Out This Featurette & New Trailer
I'm still waiting on tickets to go on sale for this, because Pixar's Coco definitely already has my money. For those who aren't already signed up though, here's a new featurette & trailer fro the upcoming adventure into the land of the dead. The featurette is really where this film shines as they go over all the painstaking attention to detail that the crew got to be hands-on with as they were on location. They really went out of their way to capture the authentic sights & sounds of Mexico. I couldn't be more excited for this movie. What do y'all think though? Not just about the featurette & the trailer, but about the film as a whole? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
A Wrinkle In Time Trailer Shows They Definitely Have The Means This Time Around
A Wrinkle In Time released it's trailer, & this movie looks really good. I mentioned earlier in the week that Disney had tried this before, but came up short. Even as a kid I was convinced that was because they just didn't have the means to pull it off. This trailer proves they can definitely pull it off now. This has me fully intrigued about this March 9, upcoming film. At times this thing looks flat out creepy. Based on Madeline L'Engle's classic, directed by Ava DeVernay from a screenplay by Jennifer Lee, this film will star: Oprah Winfrey, Reese Wtiherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Pena, Levi Miller, Deric McCabe, Andre Holland, Rowan Blanchard, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Pine, & introduces Storm Reid. Awesome trailer though, I hope this doesn't go the way of Disney's usual live-action, non-animated classic, movies. I still have to convince people to give Tomorrowland & John Carter a chance. They're really good, but no one will watch them. I hope this doesn't just jump on that list. Anyway, let us know what you think of the trailer in the comments, like & share.
Pixar Coco's Opening Cartoon Got A Trailer & You're Gonna Want To See It!
The featurette for Coco has released a trailer. Why is this featurette so important as to get a trailer? Beacause it's Olaf's Frozen Adventure. That's right, everyone's favorite summer lovin snowman is gettin a solo. A short solo, but a solo nonetheless. Featuring four new songs, this will reunite Josh Gad, Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, & Jonathan Groff from the original. It's to be directed by Kevin Deters and Steve Wermers-Skelton and produced by Roy Conli, with the original songs being by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson. This trailer's really good, with the featurette coming off looking hilarious. It actually made me laugh out loud more than a couple times. Now I'll say something that's going to be really unpopular though. The first time I saw Frozen, I didn't really care for it. It's grown on me a lot since, but even though I didn't care for it, I loved Olaf. He quickly became one if my favorite animated characters. So needless to say, this just gave me another reason to be counting down the days until November 22. Tell us what you thought of this trailer down below, & don't forget to please like & share.
I Thought I Couldn't Get More Excited For "Cars 3" (Newest Trailer)
This trailer is perfect, all the way down to the choice of song. I'll be honest when the first Cars came out I was a naysayer all the way up to the point of the movie's release. I just didn't see what you could possibly make about talking cars that would be worth watching. I was wrong. This wound up becoming, & still is, one of my favorite Pixar films. I couldn't believe how much heart it had. Then the sequel came. I felt as if I got a slapstick, cartoonish version of the original classic as a follow-up. When the third was announced I had no hope. However, since the first teaser trailer of Cars 3, I've been pumped for this. It really looks like they've toned it back & got more into a more down to earth, as real as talking cars can be story. That's what I think got to me about the sequel, it was a spy story, not a cars story. This trailer also wants to remind you this is a Pixar movie as well with some word from the late Paul Newman's Doc Hudson. To stir up the emotions as Pixar does best. What do y'all think of this trailer? Are y'all as excited for Cars 3 as I am? Let us know in the comments, like, & share. Also, don't forget to look for the movie review on Friday.
