The MONSTERS VS. ALIENS Trailer!!
Merrick here...
Honestly, I haven't been following this film too closely...although I hear the IMAX guys are pretty happy with what they've seen so far (it'll hit IMAX 3-D screens alongside its regular release).
I believe this trailer (or a version much like it) may've actually leaked a while back, but was quickly banished from the Internets.
It's back again...better quality this time...and attached to MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA if I'm not mistaken.
Here's an embed, via TRAILER ADDICT.

and Aliens? What, no vampires, too?
-
Actually, it looks pretty funny.
-
saw this yonks since,or one like it
-
looks good though.
-
I'll rent it.
-
Do you Yanks have 20mb broadband as standard over there? My measily 8mb connection struggles to stream this.
-
uh, okay.
-
I'm actually looking forward to this one.. sweet!
-
I want to see, that isn't from Pixar. Actually looks funny!
-
Huh?
-
Even without that pathetic wannabe stoner blank face visible, Seth Rogen still manages to suck. He's the exact same character in everything and wasn't even really decent in Freaks and Geeks. I remember not liking him back then. I'm sorry what he's done to you Green Hornet. If only Stephen Chow could fire Rogen and his goons.
-
Cute. Not inovative, engaging, overly inviting, or appearing to be of any significance - but then again, its Dreamworks after all, not Pixar.
I wonder whatever happened at Dreamworks Animation after Shrek came out? Did Katzenberg say "We did it great this time, but I think we shot too high. Now everybody, work towards mediocrity. Think Antz, not Shrek! And keep making Shrek sequels in every way imaginable until people are tired of him too!"
I don't dislike Dreamworks' animation products. They're just so, so....Ice Age. -
the reporter's line was gold haha. I'll definitely be catching this one.
-
Design taken straight of the Incredibles, executed poorly. The monsters are fun, but reminiscent of Monsters Inc. Still looks like a good laugh though.
-
And those are the lamest "monsters" ever! How about like Frankenstein and Dracula and shit. I was excited about the premise until I saw the bullshit monsters.
-
It must be good.
-
I too hate fucking Seth Rogan, always bullshit. His 'humor' is basically the absense of comedy and based around the premise that he is the kind of guy who is funny to be around, but I think his bullshit dry humor is fucking lame... Yes I get it, yes I am hip to the latest internet-isms... I just fucking hate that style of comedy...
-
It seems pretty smartass. I liked the reporter's line and the C. Scott-STRANGELOVE-like character. I'll use my little nephew as an excuse and watch it. Heck, can't wait.
-
Looks marginally entertaining and fun. Like a Pixar film without the heart, humor, drama, subtlety, artistry, or memorable characters. Like a greasy Big Mac instead of a char-grilled Angus burger with pickles, cheddar, and steak sauce.
Oh well. I'm sure it'll do well at the box office. -
dont everyone suck pixar's cock all at once, leave others some room. seriously, i dont get the hard core love for them. i'll agree that on a technical level they do lay waste to the other animation studios. of course movie tastes are subjective and i'm just one person but i just dont get it, the only movies i liked of theirs were the Toy Story movies and Incredibles, the rest while technically pretty were just ok if not boring. but of course it doesnt matter, i dared give an opposite opinion so i'm sure many are about to insult me or whatever because i dared not think like them. the internet is awesome!
-
as I'm getting a sense from people here that I'm missing something otherwise. Because, quite frankly, its visual cues reminds me of a well-rendered episode of Jimmy Neutron.
-
And I don't just mean that this looks like the best animation that Dreamworks has ever done. It really made me laugh!
-
Alllllll right OOOOOOOOOOO YEAH!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.com -
The shit version of Pixar
-
...seeing as how the design of the 40-foot-tall woman is pretty much did a copy-and-paste of Mirage from The Incredibles.
'Least she likely won't be having a sex with a monster on a dance floor in front of Tim Robbins in this one. -
Trey Parker as the voice of the Alien leader?
Something tells me the mosters are supposed to be us. -
Boring and overrated. But this looks genuinely well-written. I'm in.
-
You start with: "dont everyone suck pixar's cock all at once", and then follow up with the lament: "i dared give an opposite opinion so i'm sure many are about to insult me or whatever because i dared not think like them. the internet is awesome!" I'm Presuming the last comment is supposed to be sarcastic. Don't you think making comments regarding felatio are more likely to draw insults towards you than your valued "opinion". What makes internet talkbacks so (un)awsome is due to your type of expression, not in spite of it.
-
I mean, animation-wise everyone is still FAR behind Pixar (it doesn't even seem like they're trying to catch up) but I laughed out loud a couple times during that trailer. And like someone mentioned before, the reporter's line was hysterical.
-
True. So far I love every choice for voice talent here.
-
It was Rainin Wilson.
-
the whole "ITS NOT PIXAR WAAH" thing is above my pay grade.
-
Independence Day? Signs? Why are you people saying that line is true?
-
Why do they always get big names for voice over nowadays??? There are plenty of V.O. talents that could fill the shoe and more talented.
-
I think the question is: Why are you bothering to ask why people are saying its true? Its a fucking cartoon. The line is in the film to make people laugh by poking fun at the movie industries habbit of always having the Aliens land is America.
Technically - no UFO's landed in those films. And when a UFO did [crash] land in Independence Day - it was in America 'k?
So it is true. Hope that explains. -
Humans seem funny. Alien is acceptable. Monsters kinda suck. Shame, too. This could have been a huge win.
-
well yes it was sarcasm, well the tone of it was but i do get the impression thats how most act around here. if that made sense. as far as expecting negative reaction due to my opening comment, well its AICN, gotta be a lil crude..its expected? :P
-
looks like another forgettable Dreamworks animation movie. I hope it's more like Kung Fu Panda, which was truly excellent.
Damn you Pixar for making us Animation Elitists!! -
They Did land everywhere in Independence day...after they lost..so there. 2nd...I'm also still right on Signs....and War of the Worlds while youre at it. So that's 3 pretty big Alien films where they land everywhere. So there.
-
Every Pixar STORY is essentially the same. Toys - has to find a way back "home". Finding Nemo - has to find a way back "home". Incredibles - has to find a way back "home". Cars - has to find a way back "home". EVERY SINGLE FREAKING PLOTLINE involves someone or thing trying to find their way back to their family, friends, or actual home. I like how they do what they do, but maybe that's just because they have pratice at least at it's core, of doing the same thing over and over. I'd really like to see them branch out and take on more serious fare.
-
Actually, I like the choices for the Monsters. Pretty much every type of monster that appeared in the 50's: Alien Invaders (War of the Worlds), Giant insect creature (Mothra and Them), The Gillman from Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Blob, and a radioactively altered human (The Amazing Colossal Man or the Attack of the 60 Foot Woman. I just hope the movie is a little funnier than the trailer.
-
I love Pixar. I think WALL-E is the best film of 2008 so far and everything they've done is pure gold. But I think many of Dreamworks' animated films have been fun. "Shrek" and even "Shrek 2" were funny, "Bee Movie" amused me and I screened "Madagascar 2" last night and thought it was passable fun.
I look at it like this. Dreamworks is making the zany, Looney Tunes-type of cartoons with big star voices, slapstick comedy and the like. And I thought "Kung Fu Panda" was a big step up for them. They're making full-length "Looney Tunes" esque films.
Pixar is making the "Sleeping Beauty," "Snow White" and "Pinocchios." They're doing the more serious, ambitious stuff. And they're knocking it out of the park thus far. But sometimes you want the deeper films with a big heart and sometimes you want a good chuckle. I'm fine with them both. It's Blue Sky that tends to bother me. -
"EVERY SINGLE FREAKING PLOTLINE involves someone or thing trying to find their way back to their family, friends, or actual home." Almost like a... hero's journey?

"At the request of Paramount, we have pulled the trailer"
by dreamwriter
Apparently it'll be back on Thursday. I don't get this, how does it hurt marketing for the trailer to be leaked a mere two days early??
-
I liked Shrek and Shrek 2. Antz too. That's all.
I was bored by Madagascar, SharkTale, Kung-Fu Panda, Bee Movie... I need to see Over The Hedge.
But this one, I'm really looking forward to. At least no more talking-humanized animals! -
What the hell? Antz is probably the BEST animated feature Dreamworks ever did! I'd be THRILLED if Dreamworks did more movies as good as Antz. Anyways, if this trailer is the same as the leaked one from several months back, I actually found it to look very good. I actually laughed out lous at least three or four times, which is always a good sign ("SoooOOOOOOOoooooosan! Ooooo, just scared myself!"). Awesome 50's-style monster homages, as well (although the 50-foot woman *does* bear an unfortunately strong resemblance to Mirage from The Incredibles).
-
for 2-3 FUCKIN WEEKS! Not good quality..but it is there...
Screw you Dreamworks...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrgniPKrd9k&feature=related -
I hadn't heard of it until now... just looking at the comedic talent there.. Will Arnett, Paul Rudd, Hugh Laurie, Reese Witherspoon, Kiefer Sutherland, Stephen Colbert, Rainn Wilson... WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THE WORLD WATCHING THIS MOVIE RIGHT FUCKING NOW?!.......... ohh Seth Rogens in it too huh............ well I suppose it will still be good I guess.
-
As long as there's good reviews!
-
OK - you win. Lets all form a picket line oustide the theatre on opening day and protest the factual inaccuracies of animated Hollywood movies. They are sure to listen.

Disney and Pixar ruined Animation for audiences worldwide.
by derlanghaarige
They made/make these great, epic animated movies for decades! And that's okay. The world would be a much poorer place without Snow White, The Lion King or Wall-E, but now we expect from every fucking animated movie an epic tale that will touch our heart and change our live. So if someone decides to make just a comedy instead of an epic tale, the trash talking starts,
Listen, you will never hear me say stuff like: "Check your brain at the door" (Because that's pretty much like saying: "Only morons can enjoy this movie!") or "Did you expect Citizen Kane?". And I don't wanna defend the "quality" of stinkers like Shark Tale, but face it: Animation is an art form. And with this you can cover every genre in the world! And if a studio decides to make "just" a comedy, why not? We accept animated comedy on TV so why not in theatres? We accept simple comedies as live action, but not as animation? Would Dumb & Dumber be more or less popular if it would be an animated movie? You know what? Madagascar is definitely not on the same level as Toy Story, but I laughed more than once during that movie and I guess that's what it was made for. -
Yes, those are some fine examples of movies where the UFO's landed elsewhere - but the world is almost always fucking saved by the fucking Yanks!!! The focus is always on them, other countries are merely mentioned in passing.
Plus, looking from a "real life" perspective, the vast majority of UFO sightings/abductions seem to originate from the US. That, of course, plays into the stereotype of braindead hicks getting their asses probed....but stereotypes are fucking funny.
This looks great, and I get the feeling the monsters were supposed to be shit - as in a last throw of the dice type deal. If the DESIGN of the monsters is what was referred to, they look pretty good to me. Love the 50ft baby bag of fluff thing. -
As I mentioned earlier, I believe this movie is a tribute to 50's movies. And if that's the case, it might take place in the 50's where you never see a UFO land anywhere BUT the USA. Sure, they mention other UFO in other parts of the world in War of the Worlds and there is the crashed spaceship in Antarctica in the Thing, but even in those films the only people who we see interacting with them is Americans. The US has always been American-centric in our films regarding spaceships, and the rest of the world recognizes that. In England, the had a radio play made about the British’s experience during the movie the Independence Day, and one of the Brits predicts after they destroy one of the giant ships that the Americans will take all the credit for beating the aliens.
-
So NYAH.. I said it.. get over it LOL
-
True3d and Real-D?
-
at least it's something a bit different than Dreamworks' usual schtick, I'm hoping Kung Fu Panda is setting new standards for them
-
I'll definitely see it.
-
Looks like whoever compressed this never heard of it.
-
to those complaining, did you ever think that maybe...just maybe...the reason they always invade the US and/or the US always saves the world is because....i dont know....those movies are american? i mean come on, nobody's that stupid. if those movies were made by another country then it would focus on them and theyd save us. i mean really.
-
I agree. I was going to mention that in my comment but it slipped my mind. However, I was trying to explain WHY the newscaster says UFOs only crash in the US. While admitting to the fact that these films are made for-and-by Americans, you still can't ignore the fact that if those movies somehow represented historical fact, it would seem spaceships only crash in the US and not anywhere else. And now that we have robbed that joke of all its humor, I’ll move on.
-
Glad I'm not the only one that saw that.
-
I mean of course it is, but it offers no adult appeal whatsoever.
-
This looks like tired junk. The character designs are unimaginative, the writing is lazy and uninspired, and the humor is cliched... KUNG FU PANDA was terrific. This looks like a step backward.
-
Why can't the fucking idiots who format these things DEINTERLACE THE FUCKING VIDEO??? Simple task, you idiots! Interlaced content is for TVs. Progressive content is for web and HDTVs. You no deinterlace, you get visible combing like we just saw. Fucking incompetence.
-
Mars Attacks! Classic.
-
yeah but...isn't that sort of the point? Like where some of the comedy comes from?Everybody may be a critic, but not everybody has to be a dumb asshole.
-
it's really damn annoying

pdennett316 ... It's no mystery why Yanks are the heroes...
by www.valiens.com
Because we are the ones making those films.
-
Real-D is a digital projection system. Basically, it is how they project the 3-D film. It is not the best, according to a friend of mine who works on 3-D movies (Dolby's is supposed to be the best) but it is cheaper and easier for Theatres to use. True 3-D is the process of how they are making the film. With most animated 3-D features, they create the movie and than alter it afterwards by creating a duplicate frame for each frame and than moving it slightly so when it is projected your eye seems the corresponding frame as being in a different distance from your eye (but NOT a different angle), creating a 3-D look. Now True 3-D you are creating two frames for ever frame in the very beginning - each one is designed to appear as if it was being looked at by a different eye so the distance and the angle is slightly different for each of them. You can create 3-D but not True 3-D on your Final Cut if you want. It is a very simple process.
-
The heroe's may be yanks in the film. But Dr. Cockroach is played by Hugh Laurie (a brit).
-
We are here to destroy you!
-
That was pretty hilarious. I'll see this.
And to whoever was complaining about "bad human character animations" is a fucking dork -
While I usually prefer to see a movie with meaning and significance. I'm not stuck up enough to deny just a simple fun comedy. It's true, had Dumb and Dumber been animated, sure as shit people here would be sticking their noses up and walking the other way. Fuckers.
-
If the really ramp the satirical references to actual monster/alien movies, like what the first Shrek did for fairy tales, I'll be really REALLY satisfied. I really liked the way the jets firing upon the spaceship was so much like Independence Day. On the other hand, I didn't much like the design of the alien character. A little too Pinky & the Brain for my tastes. It would be way better if the aliens remained unseen in the trailer and for the majority of the movie, a la War of the Worlds, with a funny reveal gag at the end.
-
That is some shitty character design.
Still not as terrible as Family gu though -
Hehe I have no comment at this time.
-
Long legs, lean bod, what's not to love?
-
I'll pass on this one. Bad character designs, inappropriate humor.
-
it actually looks pretty cool and it has Dr. House voicing the roach guy man.....
