Stitch/Treasure Planet: check the shelf in Jim Hawkin's bedroom right at the start when his Mother walks in/leaves...

Beast/Aladdin: check the scene when the Sultan is building his stack of funny little creature/animal figurines...


I'm going from memory, so let me know if you spot 'em!

Aye, I remember both of those, Ben. ;)

I knew about the Beast in Aladdin but never heard about the Treasure PlanetStitch spot.

Finally saw the trailer yesterday at "Over the Hedge" (Meg wins the bet).

Anyway, I actually kinda like how this one looks.

Yes, there's a part of me that's saying that Aardman should stick to claymation, but on the other hand, it's quite facinating to see animators trying to capture the "Feel" of stop-motion using CGI. And it looks like they're doing that pretty well.

The teaser also knows when to quit. It shows us a quick look at Kate Winslet's character, and then it stops. How nice that we don't have everything given away six months before the film's release. ;)

Oh, and I like the Nemo joke (didn't spot Gromit though).

And, BTW, I didn't have "First Flight" at "Over the Hedge". Was that just my screening, or were they not showing it anywhere?

I guess they didn't put it on all prints but just on enough to gain Academy Award consideration.

Look for it in the Fall, on the OTH DVD or Flushed Away in theaters.

And the Luxo ball in Toy Story (in fact I think the Luxo ball turns up in all their movies, like a visual Ratzenberger).

You saw it here first folks! Ben has officially coined the word "ratzenberger". When Webster's explores the etymology of this word for future editions of their dictionary, Animated News will be listed as the publication with the first recorded use!
