I know, I know, I know! It’s just been raining trailers lately, but after such a long drought how can I not pass along little nuggets of hope that the rest of the year is going to be better than the start has been. We just talked about Director Pete Docter in this week’s My Favorite Scene. Pete has four films on his resume: Monsters Inc., WALL-E, Up and now Inside Out. I’d have that tattooed on my forehead and just stare at people during job interviews.
Pixar, as quality as most of their films have been, haven’t always been the best at putting good trailers together. The first trailer for Inside Out was very good and got me excited. The second trailer relaxed me, because I’m completely confident we’re going to get a treat when Inside Out opens on June 19, 2015
First, let me emphasize that this looks like it’s going to be a total rejuvenation of the brand. This was a terrific trailer that gave an indication of the scope of the film for the first time. Plus it has my man Kyle Maclachlan in it, and if anyone knows a thing or two about the subconscious, it’s Special Agent Dale Cooper.
However… I’m probobly the only person in the known universe who feels this way, but there is a slightly creepy vibe to the premise of this movie. It raises questions about free will. Maybe that’s a positive thing. Challenging is always good, and this looks to be the most sophisticated premise Pixar has asked kids… and, indeed, any of us… to accept.

I think it’s encouraging that they’re pushing the envelope instead of just mailing it in.

That goes without saying.

Speaking of mailing it in, Tim Burton’s remaking Dumbo for Disney. There are numerous red flags, too obvious to even mention, but the instant I heard about this I really wanted to see it.
Fool me once, shame on you…
