Honestly though, what ads? marketing for this movie isnt even in full swing yet really.
I don’t know about the States, but for the rest of the world, it’s mostly online for fans like us to discover. I’m noticing Apple Trailers seems to be heavily promoting the movie, since it appears on the ‘Preview Window’ on the homepage fairly frequently. And Pixar has released more posters online than any movie it’s done so far…
I do sort of get what you’re saying, Netbug009 (though your latest post about it being ‘just the ads’ has confused me a little). It’s very difficult for any company to handle the re-kindling of a film that was originally released a decade ago, as they have to aim for both a sense of nostalgia and of novelty. It’s hard to please both the people who watched the original and are back to watch more, as well as those who are newer to the franchise.
I think when we watch the film we’ll get that feeling of nostalgia and comfortableness, as well as enjoying the new things that the toys are experiencing. It’s just difficult for all of that to come across in advertising. I think Disney have done alright so far, I like the whole release of each toy with a description underneath because it’s presenting them from a human’s point of view and it seems like we’ll only find out what they’re like from a toy’s point of view when we watch the film (if that makes any sense).
I’m 50/50 with it. I don’t necessarily recall this much info for UP, although maybe I’m wrong. I love seeing the new characters and such, and although we already see some spoilers, I strongly doubt the BIG spoilers are gonna be shown until the movie actually comes out. Pixar always has a twist involved somehow, and I’m sure they’re saving the best for last.
