The first teaser for Disney's Animation Studios "Frozen" has been released and i sincerely hope that the movie will be better than this 1.51 min. May be you'll be enthusiast but personally seeing a reindeer acting like a dog looks to me like a wrong good idea. Even worst, this teaser might give a wrong image of what the movie really is. Or may be it's me who's wrong...
Anyway, according to the synopsis Frozen tell the story of "Fearless optimist Anna who teams up with Kristoff in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf in a race to find Anna's sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter".
You'll see Olaf the snowman in the teaser below...
...as well as Sven the reindeer
...but not the human characters Anna and Hans, so you'll need to wait a bit more to know what will be the exact tone of this new animated movie which will be released this fall.
On this next one Hans is riding Sven the reindeer.
Always about animated movies Disney announced that Planes will have a sequel to be called "Planes 2 : Fire and Rescue" which will be released summer 2014, and in 3D. Considering the title "Fire and Rescue" no need to be a genius to guess that that this Planes sequel will talk about planes which are sent to extinguish forest fires.
Originally the two films were supposed to have a direct to video release and this might explain why this Planes 2 will be ready for next summer 2014.
Finally, Monsters Inc is released in three days and a ne - last? - clip has been released and this one is called "Star Player". Here it is.

Oh my God, I really hope this Frozen thing is for promotion only and will not be featured in the final movie. If this is the tone of the movie... My hopes are not high after seeing this :(
ReplyDeleteNot very promising!
ReplyDeleteFunny, this tepid bit o' time-killer is on par with pretty much every single Pixar short released thus far. So how come folks LOVE those and dislike this?
ReplyDeleteI would compare this to seeing a Tangled teaser trailer featuring Pascal the chameleon and Maximus the horse, or of Kevin the bird and Dug the dog from Up. They're the comic relief that stems off from the dark main plot of the story. I'm happy that this movie will have some humor in it.
ReplyDelete"Funny, this tepid bit o' time-killer is on par with pretty much every single Pixar short released thus far. So how come folks LOVE those and dislike this?"
ReplyDeleteBecause here we're talking about a long feature and not a short. And what is not a problem in a short - and in fact even welcome because it fits well with the format - becomes a problem when it is used in a long feature movie. Why? Because you expect something less superficial or "easy".
If these 1.51 min are in fact from a separated short then it's fine. In a long feature the same thing mightl appear like a short placed in the middle of a long feature... No big drama nyway...
Just another example of really bad marketing from Disney. (They cannot even get the release date right - on what planet is early november "winter"? Most people probably think it opens shortly before Christmas after seeing this...
ReplyDeleteI still have hope... after all, remeber how horrified most of us were after the first Tangled trailer? And Tangled turned out to be great...
Sorry, release is now Nov. 27th, my bad. So "this winter" makes sense, sorry.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I thought when I saw it, this looks like a Pixar short. I never really loved Pixar shorts, they are ok, but not amazing. From Disney, I expect a movie with heart and soul, not some easy jokes to promote a good story.
ReplyDeleteBut I forgot to say that I think the shots of the surroundings and the other pictures look amazing!
This trailer reminded me of the Incredibles teaser...I don't really expect the movie to be anything like it.
ReplyDeleteThe guy riding the reindeer is Kristoff, not Hans.
ReplyDeleteI think that Pixar shorts, especially the early ones, are much nicer than that.
