Hot off their successes with Kung Fu Panda, DreamWorks Animation has released the trailer for their new original animated feature, Monsters vs. Aliens, directed by Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon. The film, due in cinemas in March 2009, appears to be an homage to the creature features of the past. The story follows Susan, a woman hit by an alien meteorite and taken to a U.S. Government compound when she gains supernatural powers. Under the guidance of General W.R. Monger, on a desperate order from The President, a team of monsters is gathered to fight the oncoming attack of aliens. Check out the trailer here:
