Are you guys happy now? Vi's sad

Anyway, I also thought the Donkey and Puss switching bodies was cute

I'm not saying the movie will be bad, it just wasn't a good trailer.

Aw thanks Daniel, you're so sweet.

Yeah, the trailer could have been better, I agree--but I liked the jokes a lot. I remember a couple of them from the preview in Ithaca....like Shrek and Fiona in those outfits.

And I thought Artie was cute, he looks a little like Harry Potter!

I think the actual film is probably much better than this trailer. The truth is that (sadly) that's the case for almost every DW film, including those that I adore. The trailers just NEVER do them justice...I don't know if it's their marketing department or if they just try too hard with the promotion...I think that's what puts some people off DW and leads them to think the films are crass and badly put together--when it's, IMO, just not true, just what's on the surface.

Ex: I was salivating to see Sinbad for months, was following it for so long, then when the trailer came out, (which was awful) it almost put ME off the film because I hated it so much. But of course the film was great (IMO).

(Remember Sinbad going "Who's bad? Sin-bad!" in the trailer? In the actual film, he only said that because he's under the sirens' spell and is acting goofy anyway. But from the trailer you'd never know that.)

DW Marketing....

*Shakes head* That's another reason why I think Disney should buy DWA.

I don't think Paramount would make things any better. DWA needs Disney marketing....stat!

Oh yeah, blame it on the trailers

Just kidding

But Disney buying DWA? I hope that won't happen! That would mean that Katzenberg would be at Disney again, and I don't want to see him in the Disney buildings ever again. However, maybe he has learned his lesson now and learned that animation is NOT like live action... But still, let Disney have some healthy competition! Disney taking over DWA is a big no no

To get back to the movie: What's up with the barf at the end though? Is that Shrek's son or daughter? He/she's even nastier than Shrek! Ewww... Reminds me of the Exorcist

SHORT RANT ALERT HORN GOING OFF

OK, I'm done. At least it wasn't too long this time.

Reminds me of the Exorcist

I think that's what it was a reference to.

Um, how many animated films came out this year again?

Rex: (of Vi's recent post) Aaahh! She's at it again!

Maybe one of us should just make an official DreamWorks Vs. Disney thread? I dunno. It just seems like we're talking about the same thing in every other topic.

And, as I said before, Disney is unlikely to buy DreamWorks. They might show their Christmas specials on their networks, but the Mouse House is not going to own the Ogre.

So, how about that Shrek 3 trailer? Didn't like it myself.

Post by **Dacey** » December 16th, 2006, 1:52 pm

I actually haven't watched it yet.

I can't get it to work!!

Well maybe.

But it wasn't DW vs. Disney or Pixar, just about Katzenberg. (And this time it's relevent to the thread because it's a Shrek thread.)

But I get your point.

Code: Select all

 but the Mouse House is not going to own the Ogre.

And you know that because....?

BTW, I think Dacey is a cool name!

I'm all for a seperate thread

Yawn.......

I thought the Shrek the Third trailer
was cute for what it is. I predict the movie will be much better!

Post by **ShyViolet** » December 16th, 2006, 8:22 pm

I think it will too. The story seems to be much different from Shrek 2 and Shrek 1--not just a retread.

That scene with Shrek on the bed was the first one we saw in Ithaca.

Hey Ben, any luck with the trailer?
