    I agree with most posts. Very cute, not Wall-e, but cute. I'll take an alien puppy. #planet51

    Rover is brilliant. I was already charmed by the trailers for Planet 51, but the addition of the rover bot made it that much sweeter. #planet51

    This is so awesome. I want one Rover and one alien puppy for christmas this year. Unfortunately, I've been a terrible boy this year, so I think Santa won't fill my wishes. :(( #planet51

    @Pessimippopotamus: I suppose it makes sense that Santa has moved to Neptune. After all, with all the global warming, the north polar ice caps melting and all, it would be more cost-efficient (and secret) to relocate to a cheaper part of the solar system.

    Good for him, though I don't think I like the idea that he replaced himself with a robot. Come on, that's taking outsourcing a bit too far, isn't it? #planet51

    Great concept, but like all things non-Pixar, it ends up about slapstick and with almost checklist-like precision, nut shots and misplaced urban music. It's not at all encouraging when a movie featuring SUPERVILLAINS has a trailer that doesn't showcase a flair for the oratory.

    Just glad to see a new trailer -- I've seen the first one a bazillion times and am tired of the fat kid bouncing off the pyramid. #despicableme

    Anyone else reminded of League Of Super Evil?

    Let's give it a chance even if it's not Pixar. I disagree with the Pixar worship on this thread. Since the 90s their output has gotten increasingly melancholic and pretentious, and simply not as fun. (However, the Incredibles is a masterpiece.) Is Cars better than Meet The Robinsons? Is the bird from Up more engaging a character than Scrat? #despicableme

    "Hmmmm, I see no orphans in the teaser trailer." The orphans are in the very last frame. The rest of the trailer sort of reminds me of Spy vs. Spy. #despicableme

    This looks fun. But I would rather have him raise the girls to be a team of supervillians. There could be the mad scientist, the mastermind, and the PR agent. #despicableme

    Oh, are we really surprised? A Steve Carell animated film that ends with his character being redeemed by his experience with three kids. Was there any other way this movie would end? #despicableme

    As if any of those films are anything to be proud of. And one of primary warning flags of any animated film is that they try to sell you stars. Pixar never does that. It's about the characters first, not who's voicing them. #despicableme

    @AngriestGeek: that's true. every CGI and animated film I've seen where the voice stars have been sold before the main premise of the film has bombed. miserably.

    i like the theme song though. #despicableme

    Except Shrek. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say every such film should have bombed. #despicableme
