INSIDE OUT Trailer Is Full Of Emotions

It's safe to say that Pixar is at its best when creating original films. Sure, most of their sequels are pretty good (except CARS 2, but we don't talk about that one), but there's something about the magic they bring to their original stories.

For their next film, INSIDE OUT brings human emotions literally to life. Emotions become a physical thing, and we get to see how they run our lives.

Here's the synopsis:

Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 Trailer Drops So Many Foodnimals!

We had our first glimpses of the CLOUDY 2 teaser a few months ago which introduced us to a myriad of food/animal hybrids or foodnimals if you will. Now the team that brought us the first film, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, are back for this one in executive producing roles, and they have passed the meatball torch to directors, Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn. But based on the this full length trailer, Lord and Miller's fingerprints are all over this film, so the spirit of the original is still felt.

Here's a synopsis:

After the disastrous food storm in the first film caused by his machine, Flint Lockwood and his friends are forced to leave the town of Swallow Falls. Flint accepts the invitation from his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, which has been tasked to clean the island, and where the best inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind and planet Earth. Upon arriving back at Swallow Falls, Flint discovers that his machine still operates and now creates mutant food beasts like living pickles, hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, and apple pie-thons. It is up to Flint and his friends to put a stop to the machine once and for all before this new form of foody life breaks from the island and invades the planet.

Trailer for CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 Drops! And Now I Want Some Cake

It took me a while to see the original CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS. I enjoyed the book as a child, but I couldn't see how in the world that would translate into a film. However, once again, my cohort sat me down on idle Saturday and made me watch it, and man I loved everything about this film: the world, the puns, and the Mr. T.

Now a mere four years later, we're getting our sequel. The original directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, are not back as directors, but they choose two men, Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, who both worked on the first film, to direct the sequel.
