#NintendoNEWS The Super Mario Bros. Movie - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) HD

Alright, color me hyped! I'm loving all I'm hearing from the voice cast. Mario fits. Bowser is badass. Luigi is perfect. I love the Mario Kart references! And the Galaxies! Yoshis! The Kong (I like their Aztec-inspired look in a Mario setting, but wouldn't like it for a DK spinoff/game..)

CANT WAIT!!!

#NintendoNEWS The Super Mario Bros. Movie Official Teaser Trailer

 I'm still not sure how I feel about this.. movie so far.

Illumination definitively stepped up their game for this one, the art style and animation looks miles beyond anything they've done in the past. As for the new interpretation, tone and voices... hmm.. I need to see more to get used to it all.

Some bits are weirdly too serious. It acts as an origin story for the games?? The new original kingdoms feel off to Nintendo's world building. Jack Black is maybe the only thing I'm sold on so far.

The film is called "Super Mario Bros." (well, like the games, of course) but so far it didn't put much emphasis on the whole "super" nor "brothers" aspect. I do like seeing Luigi paired with the spooky elements as usual tho.
You know what all this reminds me of actually? Not the game. But the ol' Super Mario comics from way back when.
 
Or maybe it's just not for me. Wait and see...

#SEGAnews Sonic Prime - Teaser Trailer

 Alright. Color me intrigued.

This is probably all from the first/pilot episode, I'm guessing? So Sonic facing Shadow encounter Eggman, break open the multiverse and Sonic is lost in space and time trying to find a way back to his prime universe. Did I get it right? See you in about a year to check it back.

#MovieNEWS Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers | Teaser Trailer | Disney+

What the heck is this?

What the hell is this!!

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!

Instead of going for a straight reimagining or a modern day remake like the recent DuckTales cartoon, Chip ‘n Dale is getting this weird.... Roger Rabbit-style movie?? (And yes, that is Roger Rabbit in there.. so it's canon with Who Framed Roger Rabbit?????)


On the other hand, this is so far out there, I suppose nobody will have any expectations, high or low, for this one.

Also, sidenote, I don't get all the positive comments in trailers like this. Do people eat these "Hollywood super-franchises show off" films that much???

#DinoNEWS JURASSIC WORLD: CAMP CRETACEOUS Season 4 Trailer (2021)

 The new season of CAMP CRETACEOUS is looking pretty neat! And weird! And fun! But strange!

I like the continuation and exploration of the JP lore. The return of my favorite boi, the Spinosaur!

I don't like the overthly scifi look it's taking, is this the direction of the new JW films? Holograms and whatnot. Plus that weird Sabertooth there at the end...

#CartoonNEWS HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA - Official Trailer (HD)

 And here's the first trailer for the 4th Hotel Transylvania film, HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA! The third one felt kinda final, but I guess it's nice to have another one.

This one marks a few changes. First up the first film without Genndy on directing duties (oh-huh..), and Adam Sandler didn't return to voice Drac as well..

Let's hope this is still kinda fun, it does look like so. And I kinda dig the entire premise:

#VENOMNEWS VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE - Official Trailer (HD)

Goddammit.. I'm hyped for this. 

I'm hyped for this because I really enjoyed the Venom film. 

Oh, never mind that, it was really bad, bad plot, bad characters, bad dialogues, bad VFX... but I somehow enjoyed it. Maybe because it reminded me of a big budget B-grade movie. I mean on an almost Roger Corman level, lots of recycled footage (the chase scenes kept running over the same street over and over and over and over again..). And because I've been re-reading a lot of Venom/Carnage material from the 1990s lately..


Anyways, who's hyped for Venom Vs. Carnage in a live action film? This guy!

 

In theaters September 24.

#ToonNEWS Space Jam: A New Legacy – Trailer 1

I knew this wasn't really going to be Space Jam 2. From the previous previews, this seemed to be something closer to Wreck-it-Ralph or Ready Player One...

Warner surely want crazy with the virtual reality and WB-approved cameos on this one, heh.. Check it out, Space Jam: A New Legacy!

Jack Nicholson Joker, Jim Carrey The Mask, Burton-Catwoman, 60s-Catwoman, The Iron Giant (WB going against everything that the Iron Giant stood in his own film - putting him into big epic action scenes-cameos.. again..), The Jetson, Space Ghost and many more.. I can already imagine all the clickbait articles and videos screenshoting this trailer instead of talking about its quality... Quantity has replaced quality in this day and age.. sigh..

I'm not saying Space Jam 1 was high quality either. But it certainly had more heart, for a simple dumb movie about Michael Jordan playing basket with the Looney Tunes, despite it being a film based on a commercial... 

All I'm saying is I'm gonna rewatch Back in Action this week.

Anyways, "A New Legacy" opens in theaters and HBO Max July 16.

#MovieNEWS TOM & JERRY - Official Trailer

 When are they even gonna stop these awful terrible hybrid animation-live action films?

Aside from Marry Poppins and Roger Rabbit, it's always low-hanging dumb cliché comedy films...

#CartoonNEWS THE ADDAMS FAMILY 2 | In Theaters Halloween 2021 | Official Announcement

Did you enjoy the first Addams Family animated film? I gotta be honest.. I completely forgot about it. I liked the design of the Addams, but everything else, the plot and the humor? I dunno...  

Anyways it seems it made some money since they're teasing a sequel already!

Before Jurassic Park returns with the third and final Jurassic World movie, the franchise will return this september with a CGi animated series featuring kids tryin' to survive in a dino camp.

I expect this to be half-generic kid cartoon, half-Telltale Jurassic Park-sort of expanded material.

#CartoonNEWS SCOOB! Final Trailer

The final trailer for the first CGi-animated big-budget theatrical Scooby-Doo film is here! And it does look great.



Also, this trailer goes into full Hanna-Barbera crossover mode! Check it out!

#CartoonNEWS CONNECTED - Official Trailer (HD)

Here's the first trailer for CONNECTED. The new animated film from Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Which has a pretty neat setting if you ask me: a family on a road trip... during the robot apocalypse!!!.



I'll say... it looks neat! And I love the way they kept some animation tricks like Into the Spider-Verse!

#AnimeNEWS Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 | Official Trailer | Netflix

So apparently there's a new Ghost in the Shell series. A new CGi series. Made for Netflix. I'm kinda burned out on rehashes of the original GitS story, and would love to see them adapt other material from the original manga or move and expand to original content. Oh well...



Yikes..! This doesn't look well.

If they wanted 3D models, they could adapt stuff from the GitS 2.0 manga, and have the computer/virtual reality in 3D and the "real life" parts in 2D visuals.. Oh, well..

#AnimeNEWS Lupin III: The First 映画『ルパン三世 THE FIRST』本編オープニング【12月6日(金)公開】

The best looking CGi animated feature film isn't coming from Disney/Pixar or France.. but from Japan! I'm really looking forward to this aesthetically pleasing charming new Lupin III: The First film. It's full of style and personality.

Toho is really outdoing themselves! I also love the fact they actually kept the original theme song, for once. Check this new teaser trailer:



The film will premiere in Japan on December 6th.

#CartoonNEWS SCOOB Official Trailer (NEW 2020) Scooby Doo | Mark Wahlberg, Zac Efron Animation Adventure HD

There's been several animated Scooby-Doo feature films over the decades. There's even been various live action Scooby-Doo films, theatrical or not. But this is the first CGi 3D animated Scooby-Doo theatrical film!

And it actually... looks great! (Except Freddy.. such a downgrade from Mystery Inc., sigh..)

It's directed by Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone (the minds behind the excellent The Looney Tunes Show). The only thing I don't like is the change of voice actors, only Frank Welker returns as Scooby-Doo. The wouldn't dare replace him. But it's weird to finally replace the excellent Matthew Lillard who's been playing Shaggy nowadays since he first portrayed him in the first live action films. The rest is mostly comprised of actors and comedians, names such as Will Forte, Tracy Morgan, Ken Jeong, Mark Wahlberg, etc.



Loving the Blue Falcon in there, I wasn't expecting some crossovers!!
