I'm SO excited about this film...the riskiness is what's most appealing to me. The only thing that bothers me is that I can't believe we have to wait two years!
I actually really like the animation on the emotions so far, can't wait to see more as the films gets closer to its release date.
Also, I liked that PIXAR montage a lot, but two things; 1) why did Ratatouille, A Bug's Life and The Incredibles get so little screentime? I get that they're not as big of franchises as Toy Story or Up, but still woulda been nice to see more from them. 2) I find it really amusing that not a frame of footage from Cars 2 made it into that montage.
I love all things cinema, from silent movies to world cinema to animated cinema to big blockbusters to documentaries and everything in between!
That's, er....surprisingly informative for a Pixar first-teaser.
Guess they know they don't have to worry anymore about Dreamworks stealing their plot six months ahead.
(C'mon, where's the tradition of the deliberately frustrating and inscrutably unhelpful Pixar teaser, and then everyone spends eight months saying "What, the rat just runs through the restaurant?....That looks so lame!"?)
The reaction to this trailer thus far has been extremely negative...which made me remember the experiences you just described where everyone hates the initial teaser for a PIXAR movie (well...except for Brave, which had a great teaser but wound up being a lackluster film).
I myself enjoyed the trailer though, especially since I got some serious feels from some of those "sad" moments. I swear, when Woody says "So long partner", it just tears up my emotions.

It's a pretty epic thing to try and take on emotions...I wonder how they slimmed them down to what they have here: I can think of a bunch more including some that we really saw in some of those clips.
But is this a new approach for a Pixar teaser (nay, even a first trailer, in fact), or a slick stealthy way to introduce a new concept and characters on the back of a huge bunch of mega-successful "audience favorites"? They're a very clever bunch, those Pixar fellows...!

I'll give Eric credit. That was actually pretty funny.
Can't say I'm overly jazzed for this movie, but I could say the same of several Pixar films that I ended up loving.
Looks OK, not as a good as the teaser, and boy howdy do the gender stereotypes here feel out of date and lazy. Animation at least looks good, and the concept remains intriguing.

Looks like A LOT of fun...but not as unique or as risky as I'd hoped. Still looking foreword to it though, even if it does remind me a little of the character "Katy ka-boom" on Animaniacs.
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
