Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some sort of “gentlemanly” agreement in those countries that blockbusters like KFP2 and Cars 2 not be released too close to each other. Sorry that the fans will ultimately suffer from this.
TS3 release was similar last year, I think.
No, luckily TS3 was released the same day than in USA in here. I could have died with that one, literally the movie I’ve waited for the longest time.
But we had to wait for WALL·E.
It would kill me if I had to wait any longer for this darn movie to come out. 
I can’t possibly fathom how you must feel.
Yeah, I know how you feel, cos’ Kung Fu Panda 2 here is delayed by a month after the U.S., but ironically it ends up competing with Cars 2 on June 23. So I’m kinda annoyed that I have to wait a month too (albeit for KFP2 instead of Cars 2).
I guess if one is a true fan, they can afford to wait to see it for the first time in cinemas, even though the studio distributors may be buttholes about the release dates. I don’t really believe that if I were a fan, I should be boycotting the studios or ‘giving in’ and watching the studio-cam version for free. Unless I’m not a fan anymore, in which case, I wouldn’t care.
Some movies which I have no respect for (typically the ‘Epic/Disaster/Dance Movie’ spoofs) I just don’t support them legally, but for those that I do or whose studios I’m a fan of, I always make it a point to see it first in cinemas, even if I have to wait ages for it. I just occupy my time with other movies or meaningful activities.
STILL, I fail to see the logic of movie distributors. 
…
Anyway, I opened Apple Trailers this morning and who is peeking out at me but the lovely Holley Shiftwell!
Save the date, Cars fans. I really hope Pixar gives us a more dramatic and exciting James Bond/Mission Impossible-style trailer than the Austin-Powers fluff pieces so far. I want to hear actual music from Giachinno, not a film theme pinched from someone else. I want to see some emotional pathos, like the Casino Royale trailer. I want to hear the ‘whooshes’, some tight editing, I want to feel that this is a true spy movie instead of a spoof, like Lasseter is claiming.
The trailer should give the viewer a taste of the promise it delivers. Surprise me.
I don’t intend to watch Cars 2 or any other film on a pirated version, as I hate that, so don’t worry. But I’ll wait for the home video release of other Disney films such as Winnie The Pooh instead of paying to watch them on cinemas.
I know it’s not fair with the films, but the distributor has to stop the late releases.
SoA: That’s great then. Just hang in there, good things come to those who wait! I’ll probably watch Winnie The Pooh on home release as well because it’s taking ages to arrive to Oz while it’s already out in Europe.
And yes, I’d thought Pixar by now would’ve gone for a wide-release like what they’re doing for Pirates. Even ‘lesser’ studios like Blue Sky and Animal Logic space their releases no more than a month apart. Disney should really look into decreasing the ‘lag time’ between its international releases and scrap the nationalised sites.
“Would you like to see a Disney site tailored to your region?”
Uh… no. Other official film sites allow me to choose the country I want, so why on Earth are you forcing me to look at Australia/Asia’s site if I want to see the American updates?
Ugh. I hate when I get that.
SOA: Wow,I’m sorry that happend,I’m telling you I’d go nuts by now 
. But shouldn’t it be released aat the same time? Wern’t they doing dubs the same time as doing the actual actors? I guess maybe cause it’s a american based film that’s why…
This new trailer…sounds exciting 
! And seriously?! Cars 2 is rated G?! 
That’s the worst thing. I bet when they finally release it, it’s just on stupid Spanish dubbing instead of being also in original language.
I wanna hear Michale Caine, not some second rate voice actor in Spanish!
Can you come to America and see it?
I swear I’ve thought on doing it. But traveling in my country is a nightmare.
And would it be worth the plane tickets money, passport money, hotel money, food money, exc? If you DO, come see it in San Francisco.
[size=150]Awesome New Cars 2 Brazilian Poster!!![/size]
Brazilian axé music superstar Claudia Leitte is going to provide the voice of Carla Veloso on brazilian dubbed version. 
pipocamoderna.mtv.uol.com.br/?p=82693
Alright! Awesome!!! 
SWEEEEET~ That poster is killer, I love Brasil!
I’ve watched the Rio Brazilian-dubbed trailers enough to know that ‘Dos Criadores De’ means ‘From the Creators of’.
Can anyone who knows Portugese translate the double-lined tagline and the ‘signoff’ statement beneath the logo?
It must be frustrating to not be given the choice to listen in the original English dub. Badger has also raised similar sentiments with regards to the Dutch dubbing of her movies in Netherlands.
For me, as much as I love the original English dub, I find it fascinating to listen to other language dubs. Sometimes I wish that my theatres in Singapore gave other language dubs instead of having the Mandarin subtitles ‘contaminate’ the bottom of the picture. Best-case scenario for me would be seeing a clean English dub (or one with a non-intrusive English subtitle) and having the option to hear a Mandarin dub in another theatre.
When Tarzan was released in Malaysia, we were so proud that we would be getting a Malay dub, which is unprecedented in our country. I was even fortunate enough to be coached by the Malay-language voice actor for Professor Porter for a speech-and-drama lesson. Unfortunately, it was the first and last time we had an official Malay dub for any animated movie since then.
So I understand how annoying it is to be forced to listen to your native-language dub. They should really offer you the choice to see it in its original English dub.
But I would give anything to hear another Malay language dub for an animated film, even though my supposed mother tongue is Mandarin. One should be proud of one’s native language (adopted or ortherwise) as part of one’s intrinsic cultural identity (but again, I agree with you that it is not fair to force you to listen to it instead of English). I would love to hear alternate dubs instead of being confined to listening to them on DVD.
I have always wanted to listen to Ratatouille in French, Kung Fu Panda in Mandarin, and Rio in Brazilian Portugese, but I can only listen to it for in-flight movies when I’m travelling back to Singapore, and even then, the movie’s are usually confined to ‘French’, ‘Castillian Spanish’ and maybe ‘German’.
Interestingly, I watched Wall-E in Japanese once and I laughed when Eve shrieked ‘Shokubutsu’ (which means ‘plant’) because it’s a well-known shampoo brand where I live.
The new trailer will be unleashed in less than 24 hours! I’ll be crossing my fingers and holding my breath.
If everyone’s wondering why I have such high expectations for it, it is because John Lasseter promised us that it will be a bona-fide spy movie and not a spoof. So far all the trailers I’ve seen have portrayed it as a parody, the most oft-repeated clip being Mater unceremoniously sprayed by a Japanese bidet. And one of the henchmen falling into a septic tank. That is not a thriller. That is a comedy. Had ‘Hawaiian-Shirt-Man’ not made that claim, then maybe I would’ve been more lenient.
On a side note, I find it ridiculous how many ‘trailers’ have already been uploaded on their Apple site (23 so far). Pixar can proudly lay claim to having the most number of trailers for one movie ever on Apple Trailers.
Absolutely ridonkulous.
If you look, most of them are the character turntables. Three are actual trailers and one is the clip from Hawaiian Vacation. But yeah, this trailer is going to be amazing. It needs to have some of Mikey G’s music in it or I will be sad.
Let’s put a bet on when the bidet joke will appear in this new trailer:
[size=150]2011 Cars 2 Last Trailer’s Grand Sweepstake[/size]
Pricklepants: 1:37
thedriveintheatre: 1:36
TDIT’s ‘bidet joke’ prediction: 1:36
If you study maths, you’d know the reasoning behind my strategy (actually, it’s common sense 
).
I’m fully aware of that. It is exactly because Pixar is ‘bumping’ its place on Apple Trailers and various media outlets that they annoy me.
Kung Fu Panda 2 has released a couple of clips and TV spots, but you only see three videos on their Apple Trailer page. They are more discreet and polite to upload any secondary marketing material to their Youtube channel for more enthusiastic fans to follow up instead of constant press releases and flogging on movie sites.
Same with other movies like Rio and Rango. And Pixar has never done it on this level before. They had several featuretttes for Wall-E, Ratatouille and Up, but they uploaded it on the respective movies’ Youtube channels for fans to discover. Now they’re not even doing featurettes (which would be much more interesting, but potentially more spoilerific), but simple character turntables with a little animation thrown in!
What they’re doing now is like the annoying Teacher’s Pet who waves his hand in the air every five seconds instead of quietly excelling.
Here’s a behind the scenes article that may interest you guys. Nothing we haven’t heard from Lasseter before, except I was pleasantly surprised by his statement of one of his favourite childhood shows being the inspiration for this movie.
TDIT:I really don’t see how that’s annoying…
I wonder who’s going to do Carla Veloso for the english version…but judgeing by the hype this new trailer must be BIG…
