Poster Rating: C / C+ / C / C+ / B-

Review: (#1, C) A simple evocation of premise but the lack of details is uninspired. (#2, C+) A few more details help but the indistinctness of the characters in the background don’t make it seem more interesting.

(#3, C) A simplistic effort that gives space the attention it needs but without the creative depth you would expect from this studio. (#4, C+) A little more detailed than the prior but the vibrancy of the colors clash with one another, making it all feel very slapdash. (#5, B-) It’s nice to see lots of characters on the design but the accompanying character details are unfortunately lacking.

Trailer Rating: B- / A-

Review: (#1, B-) The trajectory of the trailer is unfortunately reminiscent of that of Strange World, which was a huge flop for Disney. And like that film, the sense of wonder is fitting but the lack of narrative detail is also an issue.

(#2, A-) There are moments in this trailer that remind one of Onward crossed with Luca and Strange World; however, it has a lot of heart and humor that will appeal to young audiences as well as their parents and grandparents. It looks very much like the kind of quality effort Pixar used to put out pre-The Good Dinosaur.

Oscar Prospects:

Always consider a Disney animated movie as a potential Best Animated Feature nominee, though their stranglehold on the category is largely over.
