What you may need to know:
1. “What if” scenario supposing that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs missed.
2. Two movies in one year? You’re really spoiling us, Pixar.
3. Minimal dialogue reminiscent of Wall-E (2008)… Good.
4. Overbearing, emotionally manipulative Of Monsters and Men soundtrack… Bad.
5. This is the directorial feature debut of long-time Pixar animator, Peter Sohn. You might recognise him as the physical model for Up’s (2009) Russell. The likeness is uncanny.
6. Broadsheet prognosis: Men will weep.
Release Date: November 27.

Stupid trailer has me in tears. There’s no way I’m going to watch that in the cinema. I’d be morto.
I for one like the emotional manipulation, like when Wake up by Arcade Fire was used in the Where the Wild Things are trailer.
