Pixar name on it and huge WOM should pull it over 250 million.
Summer 07 has soooooo many sequels, people will want to see an original movie.

Surely a strange title would invite someone to find out what it was?

That's true, especially combined with the name "Pixar" on top....

True as well.....

Yup, its the year of the threequels!

And I love the title! Its sounds cute when you say it, and its very original!

Here's some speculation on what Bird might do next:

Also, it has a poster of another movie recently mentioned here:

Animator Rob Minkoff, after hitting a grand slam with the animated feature Lion King, turned his attention to several live-action features (Of course, he's now returning to his roots with an animated project -- Mr. Peabody and Sherman -- at DreamWorks.

Also, you can't even say that Stuart Little was totally live-action, since the title character was completely animated as were other characters in the second film.

The first one was the BEST, however!!

Eh, not for me. I enjoyed Stuart Little 2 a lot more than the original.

I too actually preferred Stuart Little 2 to the first one. It had real heart.

Still no lengthy trailer...I wonder if they're going to just let the teaser be the thing that draws in the crowds?

I actually hate the names that are generic - "Cars", "Bee Movie" - c'mon! You guys are supposed to be creative!

Oh, man! Yeah, I had totally missed that! Thanks!

Wow, that looks great. Some unexpected moments in there. So glad they didn't tip poor Rat down the river as was implied early on...we don't need another Flushed Away.

But it takes a bonkers turn and looks like it will be a very special little film.

Can't wait now! Arrrrghhhh...OCTOBER!!

Actually 'Bee Movie' is kind of clever...You know, 'B movie', 'Bee Movie'. Kinda cheesy but funny.

'Cars' is just horrid though. I wish they had stuck to the 'Route 66' title.
