This week marks the release of Pixar’s latest animation, which means every competitor in the field is showing off their latest work to prospective ticket buyers in the audience. While we’ll be surprised if any of the options live up to the excellent Inside Out, there’s a few promising previews.
Update: We have another to add to the pile as Kung Fu Panda 3 dropped its first trailer, which can be seen below ahead of its January 29th, 2016 release.
First up, we have a new property from Illumination, the studio behind Despicable Me and the forthcoming Minions spin-off. The Secret Life of Pets looks to be a fairly enjoyable comedy about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day. Featuring the voices of Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Jenny Slate, Bobby Moynihan, Hannibal Buress and Albert Brooks, check out the trailer below for the film directed by Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney, arriving on July 8th, 2016.
Next up, we have two trailers for the feature-length update to Charles Schulz‘s classic comic Peanuts. Directed by Steve Martino (Ice Age: Continental Drift), and produced by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids), the story will follow Snoopy as he imagines what’s going on in his owner’s life, including boarding his “doghouse-turned-Sopwith Camel plane and heading to Paris during World War I to engage in a dogfight with sworn enemy the Red Baron,” which can be seen in the trailer. Check them out below for the film arriving on November 6th, 2015.
Lastly, we have a pair of trailers for Hotel Transylvania 2, directed by Genndy Tartakovsky. Considering the first one didn’t leave much an impression, there’s not much more to be said about this one, as it looks like more of the same. Featuring the voices of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Steve Buscemi, Mel Brooks, Keegan-Michael Key, David Spade, and Kevin James, it’ll arrive on September 25th, 2015. Check out both new trailers below.
