Are you ready? Really ready? Okay, that’s too ready. I mean, The Venture Bros. season is still a month away, so cool your jets, there superfan. On September 12th at 11:30pm ET/PT you’ll be up to your eyeballs in new Venture Bros, and it looks like we’re in for another excellent season. Here’s the sample-size, which now comes in 4-minute packs:

Some of your missed Comic-con this year (like me), while others went, but couldn’t get into the panels they wanted to. I’m guessing the queue for DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming feature Megamind was a 3-hour wait, but thanks to your ol’ friend the Internet, you can see the extended Megamind trailer they showed inside those soft, movable walls.

Check out this trailer for the upcoming stop-motion feature Jackboots on Whitehall, a revisionist history film about WWII which stars Ewan McGregor. The process uses animatronic puppets to bring the characters to life, and the director hopes the audience will be captured by characters with almost no facial acting. This was done with success in A Town Called Panic, mainly because the characters were animated with almost spastic enthusiasm and we never got too close to their faces. Here, the whole production looks more wooden, and the script and voice acting had better be amazing, or I doubt it can hold an audience. Edward McHenry directed Jackboots on Whitehall, which arrives in theaters later this year.

Despicable Me opens wide across America today, and with an 82% on RottenTomatoes.com, I’m guessing the film will open well. I feel like they’ve been hyping the crap out of this film – do you agree?

I think this first trailer clears up the mystery surrounding Rango quite nicely. The teaser we posted a month ago couldn’t have left more questions on the table, but below we get a rather complete idea of what to expect. Looks like a fun film, that should attract a wide audience, assuming the story holds up. Sounds like Johnny Depp can handle the voice acting challenge, and ILM has built an intruiging world. One of the problems I see in many CG films, including this one, is the acting gets buried in complicated models. Isla Fisher’s character, who delivers the final line in this trailer, barely displays her mouth as she talks. It’s bad staging, and in a well-conceived 2D layout, the silhouettes would be strong and the lip flap more evident. Rango is stall a looooong way off – arriving in the US on March 18th, 2011.

Here’s the latest trailer for Despicable Me, the upcoming CG feature from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment. Parts of this look rather amusing, while other sections of the trailer feel very derivative. I feel like the voice cast can’t be blamed – they brought in a who’s who of comedic actors, including Steve Carell, Russell Brand, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Ken Jeong, Danny R. McBride and 30 Rock’s Jack McBrayer. The film opens on July 9th.

Finally – a full trailer for Sylvain Chomet’s The Illusionist. We’ve already seen a number of the contained sequences, but several new shots have been revealed in this international trailer for the film.
