Brad Bird Directing Tomorrowland

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I don't think they are marketing it like a bad film but I don't think that the marketing campaign has been great or even good really.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Holy **** this looks good, Bird is awesome and this latest trailer got me really intrigued.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think the trailers made a mistake by hiding all the Disney and alternate/hidden history connections.

IMHO, those are the film's most appealing aspects.

This is my point. I don't even remember the girls name in the trailer. Just her yelling "take me there."

I don't need to know the entire plot but I feel like I need to care about her or Tomorrowland's fate if she doesn't help.

I'm getting nothing from this.

Isn't that what the movie is for?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

So we have gone from film trailers show too much, to they need to make me care about the characters in he trailers. Ok...

I think the content within the latest trailer looked great, BUT I found it to be a very oddly-edited trailer that wasn't particularly effective. Doesn't dampen my expectations at all, though, because as I said, I think the film itself looks fantastic.

This is the only Disney movie I'll be watching this year. I'm ready!

You aren't interested in The Avengers?

Yeah it played more like a clip with a quick sizzle reel on the end, I did like the inventive nature of the sequence though, something very 80's about it.

Look at how Disney did the Pirates trailers and it's night and day.

No, we've gone from, this Tomorrowland trailer okay for a teaser to this Tomorrowland trailer is still just a teaser.

You can play like it's "hype logic" but anyone who saw those international trailers knows they aren't marketing the story to Americans and instead just being vague.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

You mean they are hiding the story? Yes, they clearly are. I have been saying that for a long time. This isn't news to me.

Yeah. Removing Walts name from the line up wouldn't alter the meaning in the trailer. This is a really weird strategy.

They have kept the vast majority of Disney things out of the trailers except for that one in Japan. Why? I am not sure. But I think they want it a secret for whatever reason.

In fact, the only spoilery trailer in the Japanese one, where they revealed the origin of the other young girl.

You'll see it when you watch it. There.

I'd agree with that. The marketing for this hasn't really grabbed me.

Journey to Tomorrowland With New TV Spot

 

[Doctor Jones]

I got to see Brad Bird talk last week and we were shown a clip. Though I don't know if it has been released yet. Needless to say, it was fantastic and has the classic Bird trappings. It feels like a once great Disney animated film come to life. Optimism for the future seems to be a major theme. Bird talked about how the present day is more doom and gloom and pessimistic while the hope and optimism for the future is not as common anymore, and if one does it, it's labeled quaint and naive. Which I do agree with. Despite horrible things happening in the 1960's, there was still the overriding attitude of optimism for the future. I don't think this movie's gonna do all that great, but from what I saw, we might have another Bird wonder on our hands.

 

[Octoberist]

It's really hard to say how this is gonna do.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I just think the timing for the release isn't very good and no one still knows what this is.

 

[Octoberist]

I can't read it myself. I love the premise though.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I agree the the lack of awareness could be a problem. But if it reviews well and Disney puts on their classic blitz, I think it could do well. Though the release date isn't best imo. A bit too crowded.

Thankfully I doubt there would be a sequel, at least with Bird, so the BO is kind of irrelevant imo.

 

[Octoberist]

If it's a good movie and if it doesn't do well, I would glad that it just got made.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I'm not sure how I feel about the trailers. The movie feels kinda bland to me. But its Brad Bird so I'm going to give it a shot...
