Pixar trailers have been known to be deceptively sub-par. But they have never before, to my witnessing, given away every setpiece and plot point the way modern liveactioner trailers often do. So now I feel as if I've seen Wall-E and the element of surprise will be sorely lacking when I do see it.


And I do intend to. I do not expect it to be bad. It's Pixar. I expect it to be entertaining and enjoyable. But I'm sad it will be significantly less surprising to me than all the prior Pixar films.



B.A.H.
Still agree with this early assessment, iSM?

I'm glad you loved it, and I admit I fell into the same Pixar trap that you did, but for opposite reasons: I was entirely underwhelmed by initial trailers. The last one I saw piqued my interest, in that they fleshed it out plot-wise (instead of just showing a forlorn robot scavenging in the debris of a vanished humanity) and showed a few funny moments. Maybe Pixar realized their trademark underselling might be a bit too effective and decided to ramp it up a bit. Anyway, it's heartening to know that you and others who opinions I value like it so much- we will see it this week!
