I hate to repeat what everyone else just said, but I will anyway. It's a great poster.

But who's the frog? He looks like the detective in "Hoodwinked".

I thought of the frog from Hoodwinked when I saw him, too, but the designs are acutally pretty different. (I like the ones in MTR better myself.)

If anyone looks like a step out of another movie, it's the golden robot character that looks like s/he stepped out of, um...Robots!

Really? I thought the MTR robot looked more...retro than the ones in Robots.

Weren't most of the robots in "Robots" kind of retro-looking?

Aaargh! This film looks so amazingly fantastical! The characters look great and all their wierd quirks sound hilarious. The new poster is awesome. I'm guessing they left out Bowler Hat Guy to tease us a little.

Wow. I don't think that any of us were expecting you to like it, Chern. ;)

Seeing as both films are rooted in the works of William Joyce, I'm willing to give that a pass .. :wink:

Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that before.

I missed that Robots was inspired by Joyce's stuff. Point taken. I didn't really warm to that film at all.

It would have been <I>awesome</I> if Robinsons had developed the American Dog look for this feature. Then those characters and images really <I>would</I> have looked like they stepped right out of the book. :)

Aaargh! More MTR pictures, I can hardly breathe. I'm particularly interested in Doris (the Bowler Hat). If she's the intelligent one, is Bowler Hat Guy actually the sidekick? It's all very exciting.
