Cloudy 2 Trailer Arrives on 27th

Sony Pictures Animation had commercial success last year with the Genndy Tartakovsky-directed Hotel Transylvania, they're surely hoping to replicate that this year, which will see them release two new films: The Smurfs 2 on 31st July and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 later (27th September, US/25th October, UK). The less said about the former the better, but Cloudy 2 has the potential to be a lot of fun, and we'll get our first practical glimpse at it on the 27th of this month!

SPA tweeted the above picture yesterday, promising a the first trailer for the sequel in five days - that has now ticked down to four. I wasn't a huge fan of Hotel Transylvania last year - the animation was magnificent though - but I am a huge fan of the first Cloudy film and am eagerly anticipating the second! We got our first look at concept art from the film last month.

Cloudy 2 sees the return of much of its original voice cast, including Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Neil Patrick Harris; Kristen Schaal and Terry Crews have joined the cast, with the latter replacing Mr. T as Officer Earl. Directing is being done by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn.

We'll post the trailer as soon as it's up.

New The Muppets Trailer

As its Thanksgiving release date (North America) draws ever closer, Disney and Muppets Studio are laying on the advertising heavy for The Muppets. As, yesterday, we were treated to the second full length official trailer for the newest Muppets film.

This trailer (above), the most spoiler heavy to date (not to say it'll ruin the film, it just reveals quite a bit more about the plot), shows us more of the world's newest Muppet, Walter, and of the relationship of Jason Segel and Amy Adams' respective characters. While a little less nostalgic and emotional than the last trailer, this one is very funny and adds a lot of the spectacle, whimsy and laughter that we now we can definitely expect from the film.

And, be honest, who doesn't want to see Neil Patrick Harris sing Manha Manha?
Complete with singing chickens, the usual comedic gold from Statler and Waldorf, guest stars aplenty and more; all this combines to make The Muppets a can't miss event!
