TRAILERS! TRAILERS! TRAILERS!

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted and a lot has happened since then! In particular, a boat load of trailers are out for some upcoming animated projects. Let's take a look:

Horton Hears a Who



Blue Sky's first non-Ice Age movie sure looks good! Dr. Seuss Characters really translate well to computer animation! This one hits the theatres March 14, 2008!

Alvin and the Chipmunks



This looks strangly better than I thought. But I'm still against it. It hits theatres this Christmas.

Beowulf



Beowulf is the new motion-capture film from Robert Zemeckis. Looks fun and epic but will probably be bogged down with people who this the characters aren't life-like. Get over it! Enjoy the motion-capture for what it is! After all, it is a new technology. It isn't going to be perfect! Beowulf hits theatres November 16

Tales From Earthsea



Tales From Earthsea is the newest film from Studio Ghibli. This film was released last year in Japan and is being released in the UK next week. The North American date has yet to be announced but it has to be soon.

Spectacluar Spider-Man Animated Series



This clip was taken at the San Diego Comicon and give a nice preview of what the upcoming series will look like! It looks like fun!

Transformers: Animated



This incarnation of the Transformers looks like it may be the most faithful to the original series we've seen yet. Listen for the fans going crazy when Grimlok appears on screen!

BILL COSBY'S BEARD

I've been watching my Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids Volume Two DVD and got through half of the first disc when something came on the screen that I thought I would never see! Bill Cosby with a beard! But not just any beard, a super ugly beard!



I thought that maybe he was sporting a beard to teach the lesson of that episode, but then I went on to the next episode, and the next, and the next. It appeared that the beard would stay! I don't know if this lasts the whole rest of the series, but I sure hope not.

Though all his various TV shows, The Cosby Show, I-Spy, Kids Say The Darndest Things, Cosby, never have I ever seen Bill Cosby with a beard. I think it scares me.
