Squirrel!
Hey folks, Harry here... Ok, this isn't a film about a squirrel... as far as you know... but those of us that were at BUTT-NUMB-A-THON X... we feel differently. It is all about the squirrel. Not that we saw one. Not yet. But this will be one of the best films you see this year. Well, at the very least one of the best first halves of a film you see this year. Haven't seen the second half yet, but I bet it is amazing. This latest poster introduces us to a new character. A dog. That dog is AMAZING. So amazing because they allow the dog to still be a dog, while also being amazingly communicative. Here ya go:

What's all the fuss about?

now im probably 5th

now im probably 5th

They always look retarded.
-
i will not judge it honestly or scrutinize it like other films I will see this year...everyone must obey
-
Cars blows. Hope this don't.
-
I really dug the half of the movie that we saw there, but everyone in the audience was going "SQUIRREL! SQUIRREL!" over and over again.
While the scene it's taken from was indeed very funny, It annoyed me to no end soon enough. Then again, I'm a crotchety old man. -
I waited and waited for it after the film came out.

Also, I don't think that's enough balloons to lift a house
by zerogundamx
Obviously, the old man is just tripping balls from a stroke, brilliant ending.
-
Scrat is the best thing about those Ice Age movies. Reminds me of the classic Looney Tunes.
-
I'll apologize now... I was one of the ones who yelled, "Squirrel!" at least a couple of times. It was the 8 gallons of Diet Dr. Pepper I'd had by that time talking, I'm sure.
-
Ok, this isn't a post about a turkey...
-
That's the internship I'm working towards now in college... I'll work at the fucking cafe all my life, I don't give a shit.
-
The first half was seriously amazing. Not just because it's Pixar, but because it had great characters and told a good story. I think it has the potential to be one of Pixar's best films.
-
That doesn't conform to any logic regarding gravity. AMAZING! What does Yoko think?
-
...how much I do not care about this movie.
-
'Cuz as soon as the human manatees show up, "Wall-E" collapses into shit.
-
...With outstanding and original ideas.
Seriously. -
Ohhhh it's about "Up". Nevermind.
And yup, this movie will rock but I'm still a little depressed that 1) No sign at all for "Incredibles 2" and 2) At the very least maybe "Incredibles" on blu-ray with some new extras? -
You should know that I, for one, thought the site was talking about you.
-
...More Pixar! I predict this one ends with a giant, wacky comedic chase involving all the principle characters with all the secondary unimportant characters helping out the old man that they've grown to love. Jesus the Pixar production line is boring. And the one thing that made them interesting, the level of their animation, is showing up in fucking video game cut scenes now, so all they got is cookie cutter schlop for the under tens.
-
that's racist
-
did any of that make sense? Hey i know, let's exclude all the people who could not attend BNAT on our little cutesy reference. Bizarre.
-
What, this isn't a Rocky and Bullwinkle talkback?
-
day, and was reminded of the greatness of pixar when they're firing on all cylinders. 'wall*e' started off great, but dropped the ball with a thud once the orca-esque humans showed up. as for 'up,' i can't say i'm particularly thrilled by what i've seen thus far, but here's hoping... although the characters look lame as all hell.
-
Sure looks like Hal Holbrook to me...

This automatic love AICN has for Pixar is sickening me!
by orionsangels
Pixar could create a movie about vinny the vomit that falls in love with shifty the shitter and AICN would love it up the ass!
-
Just a harmless squirrel.
Not a plastic explosive or anything. Nothing to be worried about.
I'm just here to make your last hours on earth as peaceful as possible.
Don't mind this. This is doctor's orders.
You don't mind if I just pop in there for a few laughs?
That's right.
Or in the words of Jean-Paul Sartre:
"Au revoir, Gopher" -
Jesus Christ. Catch up.
-
Orionsangels, Pixar could create a movie about vinny the vomit that falls in love with shifty the shitter and it would be hailed by critics and be one of the biggest films of the year. Because of their track record the WORLD has automatic love for Pixar.
-
That many balloons wouldn't even lift an adult. Mythbusters did this and it took an obscene amount of balloons to lift a tiny child. Pixar is real hit or miss with me. TOY STORY and THE INCREDIBLES are brilliant masterpieces. FINDING NEMO, RATATOUILLE and TOY STORY 2 are great movies. A BUGS LIFE and MONSTERS INC are good movies. CARS and WALL-E were just okay. UP looks alright.

Belief and Real World Psychics, Guys... Remember the Coyote doesn't fall to his doom, until he holds up a pre-crafted sign signaling for help.
-
Why the H are you guys so cranky? Who hates Pixar?
-
From imdb "the opening sequence finds an aging Adolph Hitler lookalike being whipped by a stud in a Pilgrim outfit".
You'd never guess from the trailer
(or has someone at Pixar assumed that there will be no amusing mix-ups at Netflix/Blockbuster between kiddie CGI film and Russ Meyer softcore classic?) -
I want what he's having.
-
wtf are we dealing with this time.
-
roger ebert i mean. damn fucking spelling.
-
and I don't even have a drivers licence.
Can't wait to go Up! -
...until some other team does better.
-
When the hell are we going to get that Samurai Jack feature from Tartakovsky and his crew at Orphanage (and the stylized viking feature that he teased on the season four Samurai Jack boxed set)?
-
It's a CG representation of a dog.
-
Has this thing a CGI'd Megan Fox in it? No.Is it rated NC-17? No.So, count me out.
-
I'm all for them. But, you know, confused. Perhaps you could speak to what he film is about? Thanks!

The title and the logo of this film came from the...
by stalin vs predator
...marketing department, right?
Any bets that there already is a test ad spot in which those balloons move aside and reveal a "7"?
-
So he's going to pretend to be the childrens' friend for most of the movie, but then, at the very last minute, he will reveal himself to be the twisted mastermind behind the entire sordid plot? I like that.
-
They deliberately 'cartoonify' them to avoid the discomfort of Uncanny Valley.
-
...while also being amazingly communicative"So like Brian from Family Guy, but for kids?
-
Jesus, what the fuck is wrong with some of you people?You have to be a real soulless douchebag to hate on Pixar. Do you think it makes you look cool? Kind of like how some people hate anything that's popular?Well it doesn't, makes you sound like a pretentious douchebag.Wall-E is like a litmus test for taste, if you hated it, you're an idiot.
-
I wonder how much they had to pay Scorsese to use his likeness for this movie?
-
I'll stick to that until I see the movie
-
After seeing the headline, I was thinking this was going to be about a remake for Hot Dog: The Move, or possibly just a sequel focusing on the exploits of Squirrel Murphy. Hey, somebody spot me fifty bucks…..ok make it forty, I’ve got a Chinese downhill to prepare for.
-
'hate' pixar, so much as they don't automatically join the circle jerk that is the release of anything new from their camp. pixar has done some things perfectly (the incredibles, toy story), and some things not so much (cars, ratatouille).
i personally put the first half of wall*e in the former category, while the second half is firmly rooted in the latter. far from a masterpiece narrative most make it out to be. does this mean i'm a pixar hater? not in the least. just means i have an opinion that happens to differ from the majority on this one issue. so with that said, please feel free to wrap your self-anointed wall*e 'litmus test for taste' around the cock of the closest bum and commence to choke. -
So you're an idiot, gotcha.
-
all things pixar *perfectly* serve as an indicator of one's taste in quality--be it related to the medium of film or otherwise. oh, am i ever so grateful that you took the time to straighten that out for me. bless you, kind sir!
-
...watch it and tell me its not cool. You haters are crazy..go and watch your f´n will ferrel movies or wayans BlaBla-Movie shit. Thats your place.
-
I do agree that he first half of Wall*E is better than the second half, but I love the whole movie.
-
...that is because you've just proven that some humans are.
-
and I thought Cars was great when it came out. Now I've seen it about a thousand times thanks to my son, so it's lost a bit of it's charm. I'm glad Wall*E has replaced it as his favourite movie. I don't see the problem people have with the humans, it's a natural progression of the story. What direction did you want it to take? Stay on the desolate planet and watch EVE and Wall*E cavort and giggle for two hours?
-
Since as far as I can tell it is an old man that makes his house float, and there's apparently a dog and a boy involved. The title and images tell me nothing.
-
I don't hate or like Pixar but I only really love the Incredibles Toy Story 2 and probably Up from what I have "Squirrel" seen. BNAT 10 rocked.
1 happy first timer. -
I am aware that I am retarded, but I don't look retarded. So what does that have to do with Pixar's humans being the opposite?
-
....and I think I fucked a squirrel to death.
-
The former entertained me very much (maybe because I love cars in general), the latter bored me to death. Horribly overrated junk.
-
Oh, I thought we were playing word association games.
-
they'd done with the story... well, not "cavort and giggle for two hours" per se, but continue with the restraints of visual storytelling. minimal spoken dialogue, the dusty, parched view of future earth; instead of devolving to a 'paint-by-numbers' narrative by introducing the humans. sure, taken as a whole, the movie is fairly solid when compared to most animated features in the market today... but it's still a shadow of what it could've (and should've) been.
-
I thought INCREDIBLES was what the FANTASTIC FOUR movies should have been; and I think it rates as one of the better superhero movies in general. I mean its directed at kids, but, really, its an All Ages film -- adults like it too. You really didn't like it?
-
Little word of warning for when you go home... Don't look in the closet, and take the city bus to work.
-
So far PIXAR has not released a poor or even average movie. All have been either very good or awesome. Until they release an average or less movie, they have my complete faith. I FULLY understand why AICN gives them the red carpet whenever there's any kind of PIXAR news. Frankly, I don't blame them one bit.
-
WALL*E MADE ME FEEL DUMB AFTER WATCHING IT. I WASN'T DUMB BEFORE WATCHING IT. I'M DONE, YOU FREAKS ARE ALL FUCKIN RUININ FILMS AND LEADING BIGGER FUCKING MORONS THAN YOURSELVES ONLY FUND MORE DUMB SHIT. FUCK ALL OF YOU.
-
Now I've got this shit-covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it. . .
Oh, I'm sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate-covered squirrel. -
She pwns ALL.
-
Looking forward to this one.
-
So stupid
-
Kill yourself. Seriously, that's your only option anymore.
-
I dont get it. Nascar fans bring in a truck load of cash or something? Do Incredibles 2, Found Nemo, Wall-E 2 or something. CARS 2? Whaaa?
-
It wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad.
I don't think it needs a sequel, though. -

I am done watching Pixar films until they make one for adults.
by ironhelix
Even though their kids stuff is smart, it's still getting old. I want to see the Pixar movie that blows my fucking mind with a mature story, and the amazing visuals they are known for. This candyland bullshit is starting to grate on my nerves.
-
I remember getting bored about half way through, maybe it deserves another watch like A Bug's Life.
-
2 billion dollars a year in merchandising, that's why. That's with a "B" by the way.
