Elastigirl, who appears in this movie, was also the name of a superheroine (but with a hyphen: Elasti-Girl) in the DC Comics published Doom Patrol, an old comic from the 1960s. Her superpower: altering her size, not stretching parts of her body,

The Incredibles
I'm not sure if the above link is the same trailer, but it's still good. The two links submitted in the article aren't even pumping out 10kb/sec @ 8am on a sunday morning.
The Walt Disney Company has shut down its cel animation studios. Pixar will probably leave Disney after The Incredibles and Cars have completed their runs. There's trouble in Miramaxland. Now I know why Michael Eisner decided to get out in 24 months: there won't be a Disney left. What does survive of the company will assume a role similar to that of Cedar Fair, which runs a few amusement parks.
Am I the only one who finds a superhero by the name of "Elastigirl" more than a little bit sexually provocative? I mean, honestly, there are just too many jokes that you could make about that.
and over here at suprnova you can download full length/full-screen movies too!
Is this news for nerds now? New movie trailers? I mean, come on, the fact that it's computer animated is no longer a novelty. Or is it that it's a Pixar movie and Pixar has an association with Apple?
Oh well, I'd rather have posts like this that are somewhat impertinent than some of the recent slashdot posts that are completely unremarkable and/or stupid slashvertisements.
Yes. I, for one, do not fantisize about elastic girls. I like real girls. Who can't fly.

...last night. Looks pretty good, they have some fantastic comedy writers working for Pixar - you could almost believe they were English.
The look and feel of the whole thing was great, however they seem to have backed away from their more and more realistic graphics and this one is 100% cartoon feel.
This was then followed by a commercial for SquareBob in a movie theater that only admits over 21s (the Premium in Framingham, MA). D'oh!
Beep beep.
Isn't this the film that's rumored to debut the trailer for Star Wars ROTS?
... Shark's Tale crashes and burns, and the Incredibles triumphs in their wake. With the exception of Shrek, Dreamworks has been playing copy cat to Pixar. Pixar develops a Bugs Life, and -- what a coincidence -- Dreamworks releases Antz a few months before Pixar. Pixar develops Finding Nemo, and Dreamworks comes out with a Shark's Tale.
They did so well with their only original idea -- Shrek. Given how lame ST looks in previews, I hope it spanks them into forced creativity.
Saw the trailer at a showing of Sky Captain...
I tend to show up late enough to skip the commercials. It sucks because I miss previews but at least I don't have to put up with the commercials.

Boy it's been a while since I've seen the Harlequin baby photos. They don't bother me at all, but some people may be seriously disturbed...
The thread was about which tape was best for all three of those purposes - flexibility as well as durability.
I'd rather have just one sliderule (an RPN sliderule, of course!) if I can rely on a good tape.
Thank you for pointing this out. You'll forever be labeled flamebait because you dissent, but that's the nature of communication in a police state. Anyone who stands up and asks why we're being fed certain information is immediately escourted from the room.
watching this trailer online at least several months ago, and saw the teaser online over a year ago last spring, all at apple.com/trailers... And then was it this summer that the trailers were shown in theaters? someone's must've been hiding in a very dark place for a very longggg time where the FTTB doesn't reach. poor person. poor poor person =p.

For the first time an animation company has come along that can create new and interesting characters and movies, without have to rehash old characters or make sequels. Eisner is hoping to lord over Pixar all the characters from Toy Story, Monsters Inc, etc. in the hope that Pixar will come back to Disney. It must drive Eisner nuts that Pixar doesn't need their old characters or movies!
(BTW, I noticed Disney released another Lion King movie this past week.... It's time to stop beating a dead horse (or lion) and make some new stuff!)
What, me worry?
...always giving the customer what they ask for. ass.
Blar.
Like all truly great cartoons, this one speaks to children and adults, often simultaneously. It has an excellent cast of fully-realized core characters and occurs in an undersea universe that has an odd (often arbitrary but strangely consistent) collection of rules that sometimes become part of the jokes (such as fires burning underwater). I particularly like how everything goes live-action whenever they go above the water surface and the odd live-action inserts. It may be pothead humor, but it works for this pothead.
It sounds like you haven't watched any episodes. You should check it out. You may be surprised.
Maybe I've missed something here.. but remind me.. why exactly do we care again?

The bittorrent technology is vastly underused by the the media communities of movie trailers and game demos.
Why don't the editors post a torrent link instead of direct link to a 30MB file. /. effect?

but i guess the movie industry need all the help they can get, who else is gonna pay the actors multi million dollar salaries if you suckers dont lap it up, its hard getting by you know
oh and the animation looks awful in the trailer, pixar you say ? looks like something out of 3ds max on a weekend
You believe that Disney is declining without any indicative evidence of the fact? No sharp falling profits or revenue, Disneyland and Disney World still exceptionally strong vacation destinations? They're opening a Disney theme park in Hong Kong Really Soon Now(TM) to boot. From where is this paranoid speculation derived?
The largest trailer size in the article is 30MB, the rush one was 17MB. But it is faster. I'm at 20kBs and rising.
the trailer's been out for a few months now.
/. : comics is geeky. this movie, as hollywoodish and "sticky kiddie animated" as it seems, is based on comics.
old news.
and since people were asking why this is related to
frankly, i'd prefer news on the sin city movie (based on comics as well). but yes, i think comics is geeky enough.

sticky kiddie animated.. i meant animation for kids, which isn't just that but it's also made to be popular, rather than focusing on the quality.

Check out The Iron Giant, Family Dog (if you can find it!), or even the early seasons of The Simpsons (on which he was a consultant) to see just how good this guy's work is.

I said "like Cedar Fair", where Cedar Fair is a company that runs theme parks such as Cedar Point.

F.Y.I. The trailer is the second Incredibles Trailer. It's completely different from the first one and much more interesting..
It deserves it. Good Trailer.
Is that trailer spoiler-free? The previous one was full of it, so I heard..

Does anyone catch the parodies/tributes? Bond music, FF, the whole theme is itself a takeoff/tribute/filch from Alan Moore's the Watchmen & Busier's Astro City - now those are graphic novels I'd recommend over all franchised simulacra Should do well - Can't wait myself
People forget (or may not know in the first place) that the voice of Sponge Bob (and I believe Patrick) are done by Tom Kinney who was part of the wonderfully subversive Mr Show comedy show on HBO a few years back (with David Cross, Bob Odinkirk, and Jack Black). Before it got cancelled, Mr Show produced some of the best sketch comedy in the last few years. Stories such as a musical about a man who has sex with a milking machine and the show ends with the machine singing "Auld Lang Syne".
There are many parallels in the absurdism in each (with one being a more adult variety), something I think that appeals to all ages.
What is music when you despise all sound?
Looks like they want The Incredibles to be made into a video game; look at the bios of the characters. They have a bunch of cool super powers! Who wouldn't want to run around with those?
You're just saying that because he's got IDS.
Why can't a man drink in silence? Why can't a man treat his wife with violence?

WTF are the Incredibles, and why do they not even get a single paragraph description in the post? It might be nice for those of us that don't feel like downloading 20meg to figure out what this "story" is about.
This is the new trailer before showing Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow movie.

Is this news for nerds now? New movie trailers?
New CGI superhero sci-fi movie trailers.
Lets see, its new, so its news, and its CGI superhero sci-fi stuff, so its for nerds.
Yup, meets the criteria of "news" "for nerds".
Now go to the settings page and make some kind of arrangement that leads to you not having to see movie news on the front page and us not having to see your post complaining about them. Everyone wins.
You can't take the sky from me...
Its the one that says "Bad Muthafucka" on it.
ob. PF quote.
I saw a lot of folks mentioning that they could care less about this sort of thing. I agree, but to clear up some confusion...
The trailer appears to NOT be available either on QuickTime or the movie website. There is a not-yet-activated third trailer link in the Flash animation on the movie website. I believe that the links provided earlier are that trailer.
Honestly, the movie looks rather funny. I remember watching a documentary about how Pixar tackles CGI challenges in each of its movies. In Nemo, it was the realism of the water. Making it look like seawater with plankton and dirt and silt and stuff. Making water look realistic on the fish scales. Stuff like that. Monsters Inc. was all about getting the fur on the blue monster to look like...well...real fur.
They mentioned, in the documentary, that the next film (I would assume that The Incredibles is the one in question) would deal with animating people and more realistic human environments. From what I can see, the characters are cartoony, but they do have much more expressiveness and character than the human characters from movies like Toy Story and Monsters Inc.
Oddly enough, if you think about it, that CGI-based Final Fantasy movie from a few years ago seemed to really capture some human-like realism, and Lucas has done it a little with his prequels. The comment from the documentary made me wonder what Pixar was really getting at with their technology development goals.

Do you think Disney is just a few cartoon studios and some crappy theme parks?
Their movies and theme parks account only for a *small fraction* of their money.
I suggest you educate yourself as to how big Disney is. While at that site check out some other megalopolies, you may be surprised at who owns what.
For those of us lucky enough to have Comcast digital cable, the trailer went up on On Demand friday night as well. So there you go. Avoid the download lines.
What did you think of the teaser trailer? I call it "In the Attic". It's pretty much one scene, one character, contextual background presented in scenery. If you want a feel for the animation with only a small bit of movie context, this is the only one I'd recommend.
The first trailer (with the "pixar" city flyover opening) had many of these single character scenes edited together in a frenzied collage. The only direct indication of the plot I get is if I start speculatively assembling the pieces in my own mind. I count only three one-liner jokes that I'll be expecting (i.e. may still be funny but not suprising). There's very little we see of the plot though to put this stuff into context, but it's edited into a fast paced frenzy.
The second and newest trailer which opens with "car trouble" opening has much more in the way of plot and characterization points. Some of my speculative assembly of the pieces I made of the first trailer was incorrect. It seems that the point of this trailer is to indicate that this won't be a typical superhero movie. There's very little focus on the antagonists, but many subtle character quirks are given a lot of focus.
I'd call the teaser (in the attic) to be spoiler insignificant. The first trailer (pixar city opening) to be an adrenaline rush to get kids excited and has some characterization spoilers. The second trailer (car trouble opening) is a pitch to the adults of the kids that this movie will be fun for you too and has some plot and many characterization spoilers.
Watching any preview reveals something about the movie. I hope this gives you some idea of what you might expect if you're up at two in the morning and just breakdown and have to see something.

Karma: Bizzare (mostly affected by varying internal caffeine levels.)
>I think its a culture thing though. Pixar is still new and it hasn't developped a thick crust of old timers who don't want to rock the boat,
Surely you must be joking! Pixar has Ed Catmull and John Lasseter who, while towering talents, are not exactly young. Ed is about as crusty as one can get in computer graphics and he is STILL the man (Catmull-ROM spline anyone)!
I think it is that Pixar is just more creative and they are far more story/character focused than Dreamworks. That's Lasseter's contribution.
I think these were the clips that were shown just before three of the commercial breaks in the television airing of "Toy Story". If you want them in chronological order I think it was Clip 3, then Clip 2, then Clip 1.
The animation is rough. Very rough. You can see that some of the characters have undergone some design refinement so you can probably count on very little of what you see as something that will definitely be in the movie.
Clip One has the most potential for spoilers. It also has the most material from the movie itself rather than people talking about the movie. Here's an intentionally vague and rough description of the content:
Fullscreen on what? A PDA?
Property law should use #'EQ, not #'EQUAL.
disney isn't just stuff you see the disney logo big in(cartoons).
Besides the movie studios and the theme parks, what is there to Disney other than ABC (which is dying) and ESPN (which may not be)? Watch DIS go down, watch Comcast make a more gradual takeover attempt, and then watch the fireworks.
besides, why would they want to keep paying outsiders for [CGI] when they can just setup their own shop
Because the outsiders can write better movies. Brother Bear and Home on the Range didn't do so hot, and it wasn't just because they were cel animated, as all the CGI in the world can't save a movie whose script is subpar. Finding Nemo would have worked just as well had Pixar cel-shaded it instead of using a photoreal style.
I thought the trailer looked fun, but I did note that the powers of the family members were too similar to the Fantastic 4:
Dad == strong/invincible == Thing
Mom == elastic == Mr. Fantastic
Daughter == invisible force fields == Invisible Girl (after she got her force field powers)
Son == speedster != Human Torch
Ok, but 3 out of four, come on!
Vonnegut was right: Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, "It might have been."
Full screen my asset! It's 640x272. A bit small on my 1440x900 laptop screen ...

IMHO, his Doom Patrol run is his best work. I didn't like his (albeit great) Animal Man run as much as I liked Milligan's or Delano's, but his Doom Patrol run rivals my other favourite comic (Milligan's Shade the Changing Man v2) and might even be number one. I'm also fond of the second and third volume of The Invisibles.
Thanks for the TPB tip, very much appreciated.
"People forget (or may not know in the first place) that the voice of Sponge Bob (and I believe Patrick) are done by Tom Kinney"
Just for the record, it's SpongeBob and Tom Kenny.
My wife knows him from way back and I met him just the once at the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival a few years ago.
His current gig as the voice for SpongeBob SquarePants has got to be the number one voice gig in the universe.
The music is "United Future Organization - The Planet Plan" Just FYI
But only for members, apparently
By the taping of my glasses, something geeky this way passes
kind of sick. i will not be able to watch the movie without thinking of that ballmer 'rampage speech' video. sad.
