What
The
Fuck
?


Is this what Lasseter is doing with Disney's animation? Please tell me this was green lit before he took over.

Wow. Really. Is this their idea of targeting the growing Hispanic audience? It doesn't even pretend to have a plot.

I'm going to give fair warning to the parents out there: if I see you take your child to this movie I will report you to Child Protective Services.

Did they really need to include the phonetic spelling of Chihuahua on the website?

Seriously, I think CHUD needs to cover this movie in-depth. I expect 3000 word stories every day for a month leading up to its release.

We all know that the font is what makes it canon in the Indy saga. Looks likes this was a secretive 5th Indy film. Brilliant move by Lucas & Co.

Maybe you need to put some glasses on. This is a live action film with visual effects. So... John Lasseter has nothing to do with it.

Since the buyout, didn't he become like head of everything? And what i saw in the trailer had almost zero live action.

No, he's CEO of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios. All the trailer showed was basically one scene in the movie with a bunch of CG dogs. The film is live action. Most of the dogs are live action with vfx masks to do the talking. As you could see that woman it showed was a woman. This film, if you want to call it that, is not in his jurisdiction.

So, the lesson gleaned from this thread is arrive at WALL-E late as to avoid seeing this trailer, right?

Well, that's a French word that many in the general public haven't heard as often as the the word "Chihuahua".

Plus, come on. The primary audience is kids who just see the cute rat and think "Fuck, what is up with that title?"

Maybe next we can have a movie with Pitbulls in a South Central neighborhood that speak in that hip hop slang. What do you people call it? Ebonics? It's only offensive if you really want to think about it and who really wants to think about it? Come on. We're reaching out to you as an audience. We signed Snoop Dogg for a voice. You people like him, right?

I saw this at my theater.. and asked myself who would watch this thing?
and without missing a beat I see a bunch of teens running towards the poster
screaming how cute the poster was! and the sad part is that next to that
horrible thing there was a wall*e poster.

Come up with a story proposal and Disney will buy that from you.

Cue up "Who Let The Dogs Out" for the trailer.

My great niece and nephew would like to see this movie. I told them it wasn't going to happen. They want to see Space Chimps too. And the sad thing is i love chihuahuas.

My girlfriend (26) has a chihuahua, so I showed her the 1-sheet and trailer. Needless to say, she adored it. She then sent the links to her family -who's living 400 miles from us- who gathered together with the chihuahua to watch the trailer and plan accordingly their next family screening. Date arranged, the GF turned to me and asked the inevitable...

"Would you like to tag along for a murdering spree all across the country in which not only we'd club to death every living being with hair on its back but also eat some babies and set ourselves on fire in a satanic but fashionable way?"

I saw this ad when I went to Wall-E and the bleeding from every orifice that ensued reminded me that we boycott the wrong movies in this world.

Seeing this trailer, Pink Panther 2 and Meet Dave all in a row might have made me enjoy Wall-E tenfold.

I actually didn't look at the screen during the last minute. Felt my retinas buring.

why i married my wife...
we show this in a theater after seeing Hulk, she looked up, said " what the holy fuck" and then we left...both of us sad by the fact that a film like that is going to exist and that many of our natural resources will be used to create that load of crap.

And with this movie, the Razzie race just HEATED THE FUCK UP. No more sweep for you "Disaster Movie". Why is it that WALL E has the worst trailers attached to it?

Everyone in my theater applauded this trailer when I saw WALL*E on Friday.

It was truly glorious. Though I did spend the trailer's runtime punching myself in the dick.

When I saw Wall-E, this trailer wasnt shown at all....so, I guess living in Chile has its cinematic perks sometimes.
