2nd great trailer to this new movie from Walt Disney Feature Animation now online. Must see as this looks to be a great new movie from Feature Animation. The characters look great as well as the setting in the city.
What are your thoughts?

Yep, looking forward to this one, lots of potential. There's also a Once Upon a Time link.

Looking forward to it.  The trailers I have seen look interesting.  A couple of months ago I was talking to some of the people who worked on it and they are pleased with the result.    Some other people who had seen a test screening thought it had some good funny bits in it also. 

It wont be a Star wars level I think but it should still do well.

I really wasn't too impressed with this initially, but I'm coming around.  The trailers look pretty funny and it should be good for a laugh.

I'm looking forward to this - the premise seems funny and it has been a while since we've had a pure comedy Disney Animated Feature (not counting Pixar's movies such as Monsters University - Chicken Little is probably the last real attempt by Disney at a comedy, and before that would be The Emperor's New Groove).

That's a really interesting way of looking at it. You don't consider Tangled to be a comedy?

I call it a princess adventure film with comic elements :)  but yes - I guess it was released as a comedy.  I kind of forgot about that as it was originally meant to be a traditional princess musical, but was changed during production (for the better I might add - I love Tangled).

Which makes me wonder how we could broadly categorise the movies...

Broadway musical - Beauty and the Beast
Comedy - Chicken Little
Adventure - The Rescuers

Yep - that's exactly how I'd categorise those movies.

Any other movies that could fit in any other categories?

It's catchy, upbeat and conveys a strong positive message. Not bad.
