The earlier WALL-E trailers focused heavily on the earliest parts of the movie. The new full theatrical trailer hints at the true scope of the film. Among other things we see the li'l fella interact with EVE, and catch a glimpse of the obese human space colonists.
I love this trailer. Posts: 6689 | Registered: Jan 2005

My goodness, it's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
It also looks like there'll be limited to really no conversation between the two main characters, and yet I don't see any lack of storytelling ability or emotion between them (oddly enough).
It looks hysterically adorable.

Wow, looks like I have a new favourite Pixar film - and there was me thinking The Incredibles was the best thing since sliced bread!

I was thinking the same thing. The trailers for Finding Nemo, the Incredibles, Cars, and Ratatouille made me skeptical about whether the movies would actually turn out well.
Each time, the trailers lowered my expectations to the point that the sheer awesomeness of the actual movie blew me away and left me with a new favorite movie. I'm beginning to think the unimpressive trailers were designed that way.
If that's the case, the fact that this trailer looks somewhat good must mean that Pixar is really confident with this one. This may be the first time I watch a Pixar movie without some kind of prejudice against their idea for a storyline, so this is the real test of my devotion, I guess.
I can't wait to watch this one. I might even be able to drag my father to it (he sat out Ratatouille and Cars because the former looked like a plotline that just couldn't work and the latter looked too kiddy. He was surprised by both, even though the one movie he is not conservative about expressing adoration for is Finding Nemo).

Finding Nemo is my favorite of the previous Pixar films, so Andrew Stanton's return to the director's chair for Wall-E is very exciting. However, what might be even more exciting is that Thomas Newman, who scored Finding Nemo, is doing the music for Wall-E as well. Nemo's fantastic score is a huge part of why I love that movie, and I'm a big fan of his non-Pixar work as well. I can't wait to see what he does with Wall-E.

This'll be Andrew Stanton's last fully-animated feature for some years. His next project is PIXAR's highly ambitious live action adaptation of the John Carter of Mars series! Posts: 6689 | Registered: Jan 2005

Meet the Robinsons was light years better than the trailers made it out to be. I love Bowler Hat Guy. Posts: 6689 | Registered: Jan 2005

Though I don't think any of them were as deserving of shame as whatever hack created the trailer for The Iron Giant.

Indeed. A great movie that underperformed at the box office- probably in part because of a trailer that suggested it was a predictable boy-against-the-world/childish wish-fulfillment fantasy, which isn't really the case.

I'm convinced at least part of the reason Treasure Planet was such a tremendous flop (despite being a fairly decent escapist entertainment flick) was because the trailers tried to make it look like a non-stop extreme sports simulation.

Makes me wonder why Titan A.E. did badly. It wasn't the greatest movie of all time, but it's got some good stuff in it--and I remember the trailer vividly as being rather intense.

I saw Titan A.E. in the theaters. I think part of the reason why it did badly was the rather "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" nature of the script.
Is it an action-oriented space opera? A coming of age epic? A romance?
Instead of naturally progressing from one to the other, I recall each shift in plot focus left me feeling jerked around and unsatisfied.

True. And the reliance on sci-fi cliche was a little heavy. But, for the time, the animation was pretty damn stunning, and you can sense some of the Joss Whedon influence in the script.

Just finished watching the Wall-E trailer. Good grief, that's adorable. Opening day watching for me.
