Trailer Watch: Tim Burton’s feature length Frankenweenie

Yahoo! Movies brings us the first trailer to the first Tim Burton movie I’m actually interested in for the first time in a decade, with this feature length stop motion adaptation of his own short film, Frankenweenie. I guess he’s still not doing anything truly original, but at least if he’s gotta keep rehashing stuff, he’s at least rehashing his own stuff now…? I guess? Still, this looks like fun.

Frankenweenie hits the big screen on October 5, 2012. The voice cast includes Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, and Martin Landau. If you haven’t seen the original, you can check it out (in two parts) over at YouTube.

Trailer Watch: Bugs and Heroes

Yesterday, Twitch posted a freaky looking trailer for Serbian director Petar Pasic’s live action/CGI hybrid, Bugs and Heroes, which I described on Twitter as sort of Delicatessen meets Antz, but even crazier.

See for yourself:

The film is a “sort of dark love story following both the inhabitants of an apartment complex and the bugs who live in their walls,” as Twitch describes it, and unfortunately, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a theatrical release here in the States, but… we’ll see.

Trailer Watch: Stop-motion zombie action in Laika’s ParaNorman teaser

Laika, the stop-motion animation studio that produced Coraline, is back next year with ParaNorman.

In the film, a boy who can speak to the dead must save his town from a zombie uprising.

ParaNorman is aiming for a August 17, 2012, release. The voice cast features Kodi Smit-McPhee, Casey Affleck, Tempestt Bledsoe, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, Bernard Hill, Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

Trailer Watch: Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty UK trailer

Thanks once again to Twitch, we have the UK trailer for Arrietty, Studio Ghibli’s adaptation of Mary Norton’s children’s novel The Borrowers. The marketing material says “inspired by,” because it’s a loose adaptation, with Ghibli relocating the tale to Japan.

Directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, the film came out last year in Japan, where it won Animation of the Year in the 2010 Japan Academy Prize (a.k.a. the Japanese Academy Awards). Two English dubs have been prepped for their upcoming US and UK releases. (The US version stars Bridgit Mendler, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler and Carol Burnett, while the UK version has Saoirse Ronan, Mark Strong, Olivia Coleman and Tom Holland providing voices.) Arrietty hits UK theaters on August 26, 2011, and the United States on February 17, 2012.
