And with the exception of Cars, which is a fine film, makes films for both kids and mature audiences (I though Cars was the first Pixar film to appeal to kids first. But who cares? the film has been a HUGE success). Rumour is that Walle has no dialogue as we know it in the film (some sites claim it has some, but very little). The animation is amazing, and the art direction different than anything out there. Thankfully, Pixar makes cartoons instead of fx laden live action wannabes like that flop beowulf.

I'm not sure they are struggling with the story, the Superbowl spot just seems like animation-by-committee along the lines of a modern day Star Wars Holiday Special. I'm looking forward to the film, the trailers are wonderful! Any American film company that can sell a film with a difficult french word like ratatouille can sell anything.

That said, yes it did both me that the teaser trailer also didn't have the guts to let WALL-E stand on it's own. Read the whole article, I clearly stated that. And let me make something clear: I don't mind them saying "From the studio that brought you Toy Story, Finding Nemo..." That's normal. Using characters from your other franchises to prop up a new movie shows a lack of faith in the new product. And don't get me wrong, I think Pixar knows they have a great story, and a great movie. That's why it bothers me so much - they believe that a great story, great character, can't sell himself, and have instead used "the rub" to transfer interest.

In all past pixar movie trailers they usually say, "from the makers of" and proceed to list all of their other movies. They have not done that with any of the wall-e trailers, and this is the first throwback to any of their old movies. I’m not to worried about it.

Apparently they were so unhappy with Disney's marketing of Ratatouille, they were going to do all the marketing themselves. I don't know if it starts with Wall-E or a later project. Anyway, when CARS is Pixar's WORST movie (and is still 100x better than Bee Movie or Hoodwinked or Robots or Shark Tale et al.), you can count on me being there day one.
