If Frozen Was a Horror Movie, It Would Be Very Creepy - And Something Like This


If you're starting to tire of the platoons of Frozen parodies, covers, tributes and videos... then here's another one! And, if you are tiring of the sweetness and Disney-ness of the film, this might be just the parody/cover/tribute/video for you: this video wonders what a horror version of Frozen would look like. And it's really rather good.

Watch: How Frozen Should Have Ended (Warning: Contains Hilarity)


Frozen's everywhere at the moment. "Let It Go" has been covered approximately 2.7 billion times (rough estimate), it's now the eighth highest-grossing film ever made, and you can tell it's big, because it's being furiously parodied. We already got the Honest Trailer for the film last month, and now the folks at How It Should Have Ended have released a Frozen video too. And it's hilarious. Check it out after the jump!

Video of the Day: What If Pixar Made The Expendables 2?



Looking for a film to take the kids to this summer? Not a fan of the usual animated offerings? Want 100% more terrorists in your animated films? Well, then IGN has the film for you: The Expendables 2, Pixar style!

Spoofing the trailer for this year's biggest action-film fare, IGN mashed up scenes from the three Toy Story films, to produce probably the funniest video you'll watch all day! I'm not a huge fan of IGN (well, mainly the people who comment on their site), but they deserve kudos for this; very funny stuff!

And who didn't want to heard Woody say "Track 'em. Find 'em. Kill 'em."?

Video of the Day: Toy Story Spoofs Call Me Maybe



No, we're not having Carly Rae Jepsen month. After Sony released their parody of "Call Me Maybe" a few days ago, Twitter user @JaceDiehl Tweeted us this hilarious Toy Story take on "Call Me Maybe". Using footage from the three Toy Story films and the Toy Story Toons, the spoof, courtesy of YouTube's JaceDin3D is above. Check it out!

And be sure to comment on the video, saying which song you'd like to see them attempt to make the Toy Story gang sing next.

Hotel Transylvania Spoofs Carly Rae Jepsen



It's a bizarre marketing strategy, but Sony Pictures Animation have released a parody of Carly Rae Jepsen's (surely the most spell-check unfriendly name ever) smash-hit song "Call Me Maybe", to help promote their latest animated film, Hotel Transylvania.

The parody is called "Call Me Mavy", and is sung by Traci L., focusing on Dracula's (Adam Sandler) daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez), and her relationship with the only human to ever visit the monster's getaway of Hotel Transylvania, Jonathan (Andy Samberg). Whilst I'm not really a fan of the advertising for Hotel Transylvania (it looks awfully goofy), I must admit, the video is rather funny...

Bad advertising, also, is nothing new for Sony's animated films. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs looked pretty dreadful going in, but actually turned out to be a very fun film - one of the best animated films of 2009! I'm also quite taken with the latest Hotel T trailer, and the fact that Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab) is directing reassures me somewhat.

Check out "Call Me Mavy" above! Hotel Transylvania, also featuring the voices of Kevin James, Steve Buscemi and Cee Lo Green, flies into US cinemas on 28th September, and slightly closer to the more apt Halloween season, on 12th October - although it'll face tough competition from Disney's similarly themed Frankenweenie.

New Brave Featurette Gives Us Our Longest Look At The Witch



Pixar continue to roll out the clips for Brave - at this point I feel as if I've seen a decent portion of the film already - today in the form of another parody video. Following on from previous parodies, Kilt and Freedom Broch, today's featurette, titled Witch Brew (above), gives us our most extended look at the Witch so far!

The witch plays a very important and pivotal roll in the well guarded second act of the movie, and this clip should definitely be avoided if you want to try and go into the film knowing as little as possible - it's quite packed with potential spoilers.

That said, it is a very funny clip and the Witch is a wonderful character! She exudes life and a creepy charm, much like Mama Odie in Disney's The Princess and the Frog and is very well designed to that end.

Also, I went to go see Men in Black 3 today (it's surprisingly good, Josh Brolin's great too, see it if you can) and was pleasantly surprised by the sheer amount of Brave advertising in place! You can see a snippet of some of the posters, boards and other advertisements that were scattered around our local Vue Cinema above and below, but it doesn't do it justice; it's not a huge cinema and it was jammed full of Brave stuff. There was hardly anything else!



It really hypes you up even more for the film. Brave is released on 22nd June in the US and 13th August in the UK.
