How About Some Animated Movie Trailers to End the Week?
It’s finally Friday. The week is over. I don’t have any comic reviews coming this weekend and would rather just ease into Thanksgiving next week. To help accomplish that, how about some animated movie trailers that randomly arrived yesterday? Did all these trailers come out to go before Wicked this weekend? I dunno.
First up is a full trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, coming to Netflix next year!
Who doesn’t love Wallace & Gromit? It’s been about a decade since we had a new movie and I’m ready for more claymation fun! I don’t have much of a memory for the early films, but this is a sequel to the original Wrong Trousers movie. I should go back and watch to make sure I understand all the references!
New Wallace & Gromit comes to Netflix on Jan. 3.
Next up is a surprise trailer for The Bad Guys 2, a movie nobody knew was coming out until now.
I avoided the first Bad Guys for the longest time because I didn’t care, but then watched it last Christmas when I was hanging out with my family and they highly recommended a watch. Then we watched their new Christmas special and it was garbage. So hopefully an actual, theatrical sequel will be much better.
The Bad Guys 2 is coming to theaters on Aug. 1, so it’s a long ways away.
Lastly, we have another look at the next Pixar film, Elio, which looks neat.
I really enjoyed the first Elio trailer that came out a million years ago. This trailer seems more childish and silly, which we’ll see how that works out. But I like the premise, at least. Could be a lot of fun. Or it could be another Strange World. Hard to tell this far out.
Elio comes to theaters on June 13!

Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken Looks Terrible
It’s Friday and I don’t have a lot to share, but one movie trailer did come across the internet yesterday and it’s terrible. The next Dreamworks animated film will be Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken, and I think this thing looks like hot garbage. Judge for yourself, though be warned that this is one of those trailers that seems to give away the entire plot of the movie.
Everybody about this looks bad, from the character designs to the story to the plot points. Why is she posing as a regular human teenager? And if she is, how does she explain why she’s blue? And then it leads to a scene where she’s got super powers? Why does she specifically have a set of super powers, like a comic book character? This isn’t a superhero movie.
The only thing I can support about this film is that it seems to end this teenage, coming of age animated film with a kaiju battle, which is cool. But then that gives away the ending, right? Not cool, movie trailer.
Anyway, it’s Friday, let’s get to the weekend. Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken comes to theaters on June 30.
