Oh I don't disagree that N.D. was a hit movie. I think this is just FOX's way of saying this new movie is the next big thing. If N.D. is the only decent property they have currently, I'm not surprised by the comparison at all. To me it's just like when Pixar releases a new film & at the beginning of the trailer it says "from the creators of 'Finding Nemo' " and such. Reminding people of the hit movies you've cranked out is not an uncommon move by studios so the promotion makes total sense. Sadly I doubt Robots will tank. Shark Tale was proof that you don't need a good script to make a hit movie; just computer animation. I suspect the real reason behind this particular promo is to reach out the late teen/young adult audience to prevent them from thinking this movie is just for kids.
The promo's not so bad IMO.
