Adults Dig The Wind Rises... Kids, Not So Much

The Wind Rises is due to officially open in Japan this weekend, and in anticipation of the film, around 10,000 people have been able to snag a pre-showing over the past week. As expected, the viewers have taken to the internet and social media to let everyone know their thoughts on the most recent Studio Ghibli film.

Watch: Super-Awesome Live Action Toy Story

I'm a massive Toy Story fan, but I don't think I've got a patch on these guys. Some crazily cool guys have been working away for a while now on creating (or rather, recreating) Toy Story entirely in live-action, using real toys and real people. The full version was completed and uploaded a couple of days ago, and boy, it's really caught on! Everyone from /Film to MSN to The Huffington Post has covered the story, check out why and watch the great full film above.

Congrats to Jonason Pauley, Jesse Perrotta and the great crew for creating such a labour of fan-love and for getting such great recognition for it. Facebook here, Twitter here.

Brilliant First Wreck-It Ralph Trailer

One day early, and following on from the reveal of the first stills yesterday, the first trailer for Disney's Wreck-It Ralph (above) has arrived online, and it's fantastic.

Introduced by the voice of Ralph, John C. Reilly, and packed full of great cameos ranging from Mario's Bowser and Sonic's Dr. Eggman to a Pacman ghost, the trailer is a great sign. It's funny, the animation is brilliant and it definitely has a Toy Story vibe to it! I'm also loving Game Central Station. Really, I'm just completely in love with this film!

The characters, the story, the voices, the animation; everything looks brilliant, following on from strong efforts with Bolt and Princess and the Frog and hits with Tangled and Winnie the Pooh, Wreck-It Ralph looks like it can be the film to once and for all re-establish Disney as the home of animation. Welcome to the Third Golden Age of Disney Animation.

Wreck-It Ralph is due to be released on 2nd November in the US and 15th February here in the UK - that seems so long away now though.
