Up in Cannes

An official e-mail has confirmed that Up, the new 3D animation film from Disney-Pixar and director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.), will be the opening-night film of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival. The Disney Digital 3D will be shown to the press on the afternoon of Wednesday, 5.13.09, and to the formally dressed lah-lah crowd that evening. Up has been co-directed by Bob Peterson, who toiled as a screenwriter and author of Finding Nemo.

It really doesn't look that appealing to me anymore after seeing the whole trailer.

The trailers are having the opposite effect on me. It certainly looks more entertaining than Finding Nemo.

Trailer's undwhelming -- but every Pixar trailer's had the exact same effect on me; none of them has ever wanted me to go see it in the theater.

Knowing what this movie is about is enough for me to want to see it theatrically.
