The fact this feminine robot's name is Eve just reinforces what I thought. It seems to me the romance is still second in the story, it's probably more about a robot (oh look, the male robot!) saving the Earth or something.

Meg, if she is indeed female, she's there for romance as the trailer shows, which is not what you wanted! She'll probably help solve the conflicts the story presents, but she's still a love interest.

Never said what I wanted out of here character in particular. I'm just speaking about animated films in general.

Out of all the CG films that have come out in the past few years, I've only seen one with a female lead!

Which one was it?

Sorry. I'm having a brain freeze right now.

*smacks face* And I was just thinking about that film this morning! Seriously.

I have a bad memory.

See, this is why the trailer was so weird and underwhelming: Disney wanted to hide some plot points!

Jim Hill discusses actually believable information, that sounds just like the kind of things I found on Buy N' Large's web site, about the plot, so there are spoilers but only concerning what Pixar's picture of the future looks like, and why Disney wanted to show as little of it as possible:

The trailer isn't meant to give away the entire plot, thats what they are commonly put down for. The trailer should wet the appetite of the audience, not give away every single story detail. Otherwise whats the point of going to see the film?

My guess is that that aspect of the story will be played for laughs more than anything. I doubt that it's going to strike too many people as offensive.

I agree. It sounds pretty funny to me, especially because, sadly, it's probably a more accurate prediction than most folks would want to admit (I'm losing weight! Honest!). I obviously can't quote from it here, but on his most recent CD, George Carlin talks about this aspect of society in a brilliant, extremely funny (though typically vulgar) way that ultimately expresses the same point that Pixar is trying to make here, namely that humanity has got to start taking better care of itself, both our bodies and our environment. It's an important issue and as far as this film goes, I truly hope that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

Good point,Dusterian,but maybe Wendy's Jane and eddievalient are right and it's just a joke,thought it looks offensive

Very true, but there's a difference between details on what happened and details on what will happen. For instance, a trailer could give away how Cinderella's dad died and she was forced to be a slave to her stepfamily, but not reveal how she fixes her life. This trailer could reveal what happened to the future, and just hint at how it will be fixed. Details of what has happened and details of the actual plot, how things change, are different.

But if you want the details of what has happened to be a surprise, you have a point there and hearing what has happened to the planet can be a dramatic and funny surprise.

I don't really see a point in showing Toy Story 2 when they already showed the first film...
