I won’t give away any plot details for Laika’s upcoming ParaNorman, but this trailer sure will. You’ll have to decide if you still have the need to see the movie after witnessing every single story beat in the 2:30 minute cut. What’s new, right? Trailers typically give away too much. The good news is – the film looks great. Some funny dialog, and John Goodman has re-discovered the rage he expressed in Barton Fink. The stop-motion film arrives in August.
With the smoggy aftertaste of Cars 2 still clouding the air, the antidote arrives. This 2:30 minute clip from The Brave should renew your faith in Pixar, who, to be fair, have almost never let us down. In this clip, you’ll meet Merida, who can simply not contain herself as the men compete for all the glory. With the time period and the accents, it’s hard not to feel like we’re watching a sequel to How To Train Your Dragon. The feature will not arrive soon enough – June 22nd in US theaters.
ParaNorman has risen from beneath the soil to haunty your Monday grind. Here’s the first full trailer for the upcoming Laika feature that hits theaters in August 2012.
The Madagascar movies have never been much a critical success, but it hasn’t stopped DreamWorks’ Animation’s bank account from filling up. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this next one, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, will be a bit more of a critical darling, while also backing up a Brinks truck. Watch this new trailer and see if you agree with my guesstimate. The feature is due on June 28, 2012.
Laika’s follow-up to Coraline is a stop-motion comedy/thriller titled ParaNorman, due out in August of 2012. Here’s the first trailer, in which we meet Norman, the only kid in town who can communicate with the zombies overrunning the city.
