A new trailer for the upcoming animated film, Storks, has debuted. I find it quite interesting and I love the animation/slapstick-ness of it!
In sad news, the famous voice actress, Janet Waldo, has passed away at the age 0f 96! Janet Waldo (1920-2016) was most famous for voicing the characters, Judy Jetson, Penelope Pitstop, and Josie. She will be missed!
We finally got the teaser trailer for Disney’s upcoming film, Moana, and it’s looking amazing! The animation is gorgeous, the characters (especially the pig) look awesome, and it looks like a great deal of fun! I wish we saw more characters though, but this was a joy to see after the tragedy that happened in my hometown this morning!
What do you think of the teaser trailer? Are you excited for the movie?
We’ve finally gotten a full-length trailer for the upcoming animated Illumination Entertainment film, Sing.
I’ve always been optimistic about this film and am still liking what I’m seeing. Yes, it probably won’t be an Inside Out, but I think it’s interesting enough to hold its own and is definitely a lot more intriguing than something like The Secret Life of Pets is.

In news that I’m quite excited about, actor Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast to voice the character of the Grinch in Illumination Entertainment’s upcoming animated adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Set to be released on November 17, 2017, hopefully this will be the first film adaptation of a work by Dr. Seuss to actually be good! You can find more here.
When we first got the news that Blue Sky Studios was going to tackle a theatrical film adaptation of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, we were quite frightened and protective indeed! When we heard it was going to be a CG film, that didn’t help matters much either! Finally, after months of waiting, the movie was released and generally, people liked it! It was critically acclaimed and got overall positive reviews! But, what do I think of it? Read on to find out.
In a show of awesomeness, we’ve been blessed with not just one, but TWO teaser trailers in the past week for the upcoming 2017 animated film, The LEGO Batman Movie. Check them out below and let me know which of the two you prefer and whether or not you’re interested in the movie. I, for one, am quite interested in the film and prefer the second trailer!
