[Buscemi]

Welcome back, Aardman.

[Buscemi]

New trailer.

[ROBDude]

The 2nd trailer is much more funnier than the 1st one.

[Buscemi]

New trailer (which actually shows the plot).

This is more like it. If word gets out about this, kids could flock to it in droves. If.

Someone on HSX saw the first 35 minutes on a presentation reel and said it was up there with Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit.

My only problem with the film: they rejected a score by Michael Giacchino and replaced it with one from that hack Harry Gregson-Williams. So expect a Hans Zimmer ripoff score from the guy who they get for at least half of the animated movies since Shrek.

I don't think kids will really care who did the score -- and probably most adults who see the film won't, either. That said, I too would rather it be Giacchino -- loved his work on The Incredibles but haven't really been wowed by him since.

Looks very entertaining. I get the feeling it will probably perform something similar to Gnomeo and Juliet, as while it probably never win a weekend it will just keep plugging away weekend after weekend bring in the dollars. Kids will love it, there seems to be plenty of laughs for the adults too, and while it probably will for the most part be limited to kids, parents and a few older animation fans, it should bring in enough repeat business to be successful.
