‘Peter Rabbit’ Teaser Trailer Debuts!

The teaser trailer for Sony Animation’s upcoming adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit stories has debuted.

While I never read the Peter Rabbit stories, I have a feeling that the stories are much more timeless than this teaser trailer seems to show. I really wish they had made this a fully animated film; this live-action/animated hybrid doesn’t seem to work especially with the whole “party theme”. If it turns out to be like Paddington (horrible teaser, but film was well-made), I’ll be happy, but until then, this is all we have to go on.

Peter Rabbit stars Domhnall Gleason, Sam Neill, and Rose Byrne, along with the voice talents of James Corden, Margot Robbie, Daisy Ridley, and Elizabeth Debicki. The film is being directed by Will Gluck and set to hit theaters on February 9, 2018.

What do you think of this trailer? Does it turn you off from seeing the film?

‘The Star’ Teaser Trailer Debuts!

The teaser trailer for Sony Animation’s upcoming film, The Star, has debuted.

The film deals with the Christian nativity story from the point of view of the animals. The voice cast includes Steven Yeun, Kelly Clarkson, Gina Rodriguez, Keegan-Michael Key, Oprah Winfrey, Tracy Morgan, Tyler Perry, Christopher Plummer, Patricia Heaton, and Zachary Levi, among others.

The Star is scheduled to be released to theaters on November 10, 2017. I personally have no interest in seeing this film. What about y’all? Let me know in the comments below!

‘The Emoji Movie’ Theatrical Trailer Released!

If you’re like most people, when you heard that Sony Animation was making a film entitled, The Emoji Movie, you kinda groaned. And the teaser trailer didn’t help matters much either. But now, we’ve gotten the first theatrical trailer for the film:

I’ll be honest, it doesn’t seem as horrible as I thought it would be. But, it still seems groan-worthy! It feels like a mixture of Inside Out and Wreck-It Ralph, but not in a good way. I dunno, how do you all feel about this film?

Box Office Forecast: “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” Overshadows Weekend

Sony Animation’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” has taken the #1 spot in the US/Canada weekend box office with a gross of $35 million! I really loved the first movie and from the trailer, this one seemed so creative, mainly due to the designs, idea, and the plethora of food puns! I haven’t seen it yet, but I definitely plan to!

Have you seen it? What did you think? If you haven’t, do you plan on seeing it?
