New Animated Trailers: The Peanuts Movie, Hotel Transylvania 2 and The Secret Life of Pets

An old classic, a sequel and an expose of the hidden of life of pets! Blue Sky Studios, Sony Animation and Illumination all have new trailers out for their upcoming animated films.



Coming out in a crowded November with The Good Dinosaur, Spectre and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, the world's most loved underdog Charlie Brown and his equally lovable dog Snoopy decide to turn around the bad luck that always seems to surround him. There's a pretty new girl who moves in on the block and if he can muster up the courage to say hi, Charlie Brown might just have a new friend. In the gang's first 3D adventure and their first big screen adventure in 35 years, Charlie Brown is going to transform himself into a winner. The Peanuts Movie, directed by Steve Martino (Horton Hears a Who!), brings up favorites we all grew up with: Schroeder, Sally, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Pigpen, Lucy  and of course Charlie Brown and Snoopy. This film gives Blue Sky Studios a great chance to show a whole new generation the iconic and endearing characters created by Charles M. Schultz.


The Drac Pack returns in Sony Animation's Hotel Transylvania 2 in the first teaser trailer for the film. New to being a grandfather, Drac (voice of Adam Sandler) wants to show his half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis the ways of being a vampire. If only little Dennis would learn how to fly! He better learn soon because Drac's father Vlad (voice of Mel Brooks) is coming for a visit and he's not going to like the hotel being open to humans now.  Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, Hotel Transylvania 2 releases in theaters on September 2, 2015.


Ever wondered what your pets do at home all day when you're at work? Illumination's The Secret Life of Pets will take us behind those cute eyes and show us exactly what your little furball is up to. Featuring the voice talents of Louis C.K., Kevin Hart, Eric Stonestreet, Ellie Kemper and Jenny Slate, the film is about a terrier, Max, who questions his place in his owner's life when he brings home a mongrel named Duke. Debuting next summer, The Secret Life of Pets might just unveil some mysteries your pets don't want you to know.

Which animated trailer are you most intrigued about?

New Trailer: Rio 2


It's time to head back to Brazil and Rio with the new trailer of Rio 2! The blue macaws from Rio return in the sequel which sees them head to the Amazon to get touch with the wild and some relatives as well.  Blu (voice of Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (voice of Anne Hathaway) head to the jungles with their kids to let them know where they come from.  Most of the original cast/characters are also back for the sequel as Rio 2 arrives in theaters April 2014.  Are you ready to go back to Rio?

21 Films Animated Feature Films Submitted for Oscars

Alright, here we go.  It's November and I'm pretty much going to start talking non-stop about awards season namely the Oscars from now on.  Did I mention how much I love the Oscars even though it inevitably disappoints me in some way or the other every year?  The anticipation frankly leading up to it is, hands down, the most exciting part of the race. Nothing beats it.  

Okay, so submissions have started for documentary films, foreign language films and my favorite, Best Animated Feature, a category I look forward to since its addition in 2001.  

21 films have been submitted for next year's Oscars including the usual suspects from Pixar (Brave), DreamWorks (Madagascar 3, Rise of the Guardians) and Blue Sky (Ice Age Continental Drift).  I'm pleased to see two Indian animation films, Delhi Safari and Hey Krishna (Krishna aur Kans) submit themselves although I'm surprised that Arjun: The Warrior Prince doesn't have its name up there.  








Here is the list of the films competing against each other for the nomination.


  • Adventures in Zambezia   
  • Brave
  • Delhi Safari
  • Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
  • Frankenweenie   
  • From Up on Poppy Hill
  • Hey Krishna
  • Hotel Transylvania    
  • Ice Age Continental Drift
  • A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman
  • Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted 
  • The Mystical Laws
  • The Painting  
  • ParaNorman   
  • The Pirates! Band of Misfits 
    
  • The Rabbi's Cat
    
  • Rise of the Guardians  
  • Secret of the Wings    
  • Walter & Tandoori's Christmas 
    
  • Wreck-It Ralph
    
  • Zarafa


Glad to see some different movies in the mix as well such as Frankenweenie, ParaNorman and the delightfully named French submission, Walter & Tandoori's Christmas.  We'll see which five eventually make the cut on January 10, 2013.
