A Bug’s Life was a childlike favorite of mine, too. I mean, when it was just Toy Story and A Bug’s Life, I liked Toy Story more, but I would look forward to seeing A Bug’s Life since it was more recent (seeing as I watched my old Toy Story VHS all the time when I was 3, 4, 5). It was when Toy Story 2 and Monster’s Inc. were both out that I began to overlook A Bug’s Life. But looking back on it today, it still has a lot of charm, and I feel pretty nostalgic whenver I see it. I think that A Bug’s Life is a stronger film than Cars (I like both quite a bit, but they are the weakest films Pixar has dished out. Not such a bad thing, considering it’s Pixar).

It is way too early to judge. I’m sure they’ll deliver yet again. I think the timing is right because after Ratatouille and WALL-E it’s nice to change it up with another film with a human main character. The art style is also very different from what they’ve done before, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ll do with it.

Also I would never consider A Bug’s Life a “miss”. To me it has a certain consistent charm to it (whereas I thought Cars lacked a little). Then again, maybe I’m partial because it was a childhood favorite.

“Problem is, a house on balloons is not good enough for a Pixar teaser: compared with *any* other Pixar teaser, this is the least inventive. The fact that they allocated so much time for such an unoriginal idea lets me fear that Pixar will really miss the tone on this one. Might this be the film the breaks their lucky streak?”

Since when Pixar’s idea is overtly “original”? Talking toys? Talking ants? Talking fish? Talking cars? Talking rat? Friendly monsters? Superheroes family? Robots? Nope, they’re all done before by many people.

The wonderful thing about Pixar is that they can bring THEIR sense and originality to such idea and make them work on many levels and can actually capture their audiences.

And their streak isn’t “lucky”. You can’t just be lucky to success through 20 years and 9 acclaimed films. Same things were said with Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille and WALL-E, but they turn out to be more than good enough.

Their misses, if any, were A Bug’s Life and Cars, and they’re better than most first hand efforts by many else.

Frank, that’s what lots of people seem to think when a teaser comes out. It won’t be, trust me. It’s going to be a while before Pixar has their first miss.

I agree with Captain Awesome…now I’m paying attention. if you’re gonna pay homage to Miyazaki you better be prepared to put in the time and effort. or else we end up with yet another Disney-ish kid flick. I also whole heartedly agree with animation being a medium not a genre, good grief how can the two be confused. anyhoo, I like Pixars work for the most part, they took American animation and make it look good again so hopefully this will be a step in the right direction for more adult pieces.

“We’re all huge fans of his. He’s an amazing filmmaker,” said Doctor, who worked on the American translation of Howl’s Moving Castle. “Miyazaki pays so much attention to small details that make you feel like you’re actually there. And we’re trying to do that in this film as well.”

Okay, I’m now listening Pixar.

“It was then explained” by someone who clearly doesn’t know what the word “teaser” means.

My interest in the movie actually went DOWN (pun very much intended) with that further info.

It’s good to see that Pete Docter will be directing again. Monster’s Inc. is one of my favorite Pixar films, and I think it is extremely underrated (Finding Nemo tends to overshadow it). This looks pretty good so far, even judging from such a short clip. But I’m pretty sure Pixar will deliver. Even Cars (probably their weakest film) wasn’t bad at all, just not as good as the rest.

I guess Up will do until Toy Story 3.

interesting story. I think it’s safe to say that Pixar is still going to push itself to make original and interesting stories. Why won’t the other studios take notes?

I really like it when Brad Bird calls animation a medium and not a genre. Hope future productions will be tailored for adults and not revolve around kiddy material. ‘Up’ looks like it’s crossing that boundary.
