Toy Story 3 Trailer!!!

Christina and I saw this in the theatre the other night when we went to see Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D. I am pretty excited for this next installment after more than 10 years! And for those who say it's just gonna ruin the previous two great films—come on, this is Pixar. Did Toy Story 2 take away from Toy Story? Not at all. I actually like Toy Story 2 a little bit better.

Watch this trailer. Sometimes I am disappointed by Pixar trailers cause they don't do a good job of getting across the humor and STORY of the movie, but his one is great. Here's a look at it, although I highly recommend going to apple.com to see the HD version.

I Saw Pixar's Up!

Pixar amazes me. It kind of worries me that my expectations are so high. That means they can easily be disappointed. Up did not disappoint.

I didn't see it in 3D, so I can't tell you about that. It was still a wonderful hour and a half. The first ten minutes of the film shows little Carl Fredrickson (the grumpy old man) as a child. Then within minutes you are emotionally connected to him and his wife as it plays through their life without talking--only well orchestrated music. After that montage, I knew that this would be a great movie.

The rest of the movie is filled with adventure, a lot of humor, odd characters, and an evil villain. I, and those around me, laughed a lot. After seeing the previews, I was afraid that Russell, the little kid, would get tiresome shortly into the movie. But he didn't. I'm not quite sure where this fits in my list of best Pixar movies. I'll have to wait and let it sink in.

One of the reasons Pixar succeeds is they are willing to take risks. There were several times during the movie that there was complete silence on screen and in the audience--as Carl flips through the Adventure book his wife had made and thinks about her, for example. And just the idea of doing a story with an old man as the main character was thought absurd by many because it's not marketable. But, Pixar doesn't follow conventional wisdom. And I am so glad they don't.

Come see Pixar's "Up"

This Friday night I am getting a group together to go see the new Pixar film, Up. If you would like to join us let me know by 5pm on Wednesday. That is when I will be going to get the tickets. We will either see the 8:50pm showing at Cinemark University Mall, or the 9:55pm showing at Carmike at the Riverwoods. So let me know which time works best if you would like to come. Keep in mind we will leave AT LEAST an hour before it starts to be able to get there and get good seats (it will be sold out).

The normal cost is $8.50. And it's in 3-D, so there could be an extra charge for that. So be ready to pay about $10 (I don't want anyone getting mad at me when they have to pay me back if I didn't tell them). If there is no extra cost, then yay.

More excited than ever!

So the next Pixar movie to come out is simply titled Up. I haven't been too excited about it other than the fact that it is made by Pixar--so it has to be good. But after seeing the newest trailer I can't wait to see it! It looks like it will be pretty funny. Take a look at the trailer.

A short trailer for the new Pixar movie coming out in Spring is available for viewing.

Anyone that knows me know that I love Pixar and will be very excited to see this movie. I own almost all of the Pixar movies (I don't have Wall-E or A Bug's Life). I am really excited for this movie, but I was not impressed by the trailer. In fact, I've felt that way about a lot of Pixar's trailers. I became a die hard fan of Pixar after seeing Monster's, Inc. But the trailer actually turned me off. I didn't think it looked very good at all. The only reason I went was because a few weeks after it had come out a friend highly recommended it. I felt the same way about the trailers for Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and Wall-E.

I know that this is just the teaser trailer and a new one will be coming out soon. I'm just wondering since they make such amazing movies why can't the trailers portray that more. I'm gonna see Up because I love Pixar, but if it were just from seeing that trailer, I probably wouldn't.

I can now die happy.

Okay, that's a little exaggerated, but WALL-E was really good.

If you don't remember, Pixar always plays a short (film) before the feature length film. The one before WALL-E was hilarious! That's all I will mention about that.

Who knew that a movie with so little dialogue (the two main characters don't really say anything other than each other's names) could be so good. WALL-E is one fun little guy. From the beginning you'll like him. Then comes EVE, the robot he gets a crush on. It's such a cute little love story.

This movie was unlike anything I've seen before. I'm not saying it's my favorite movie ever or life-changing, but it's just different from anything else. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it. Just go and see for yourself. It's Pixar, you won't be disappointed. It lived up to my expectations--which were really high.

WALL-E

I am so excited for this movie to come out! I hate to say this but I was a little skeptical when I saw the first trailer. (I know! That's ridiculous, after how much quality entertainment Pixar has continuously created! What was I thinking!) My friends know that last year I was really excited to see Ratatouille and I counted down for months. The excitement has returned. It's getting so close to June 27.

I watched the full trailer again and saw how good this movie really can be. Yeah, the robots don't really talk. So? There were some small things that I laughed out loud at which I hadn't noticed earlier. If anyone needs convincing of the genius of Pixar, come talk with me. I will certainly be there opening night.

Watch the trailer, WALL-E
