TT: Kubo and the Two Strings

I saw this trailer in front of Star Wars. It's the first I've heard of it. At first, I was uncertain. Then excited. Then intrigued. Then uncertain again. Then positive I wanted to know more.

I honestly have no idea what this movie is about. Asian people doing epic things and magic and stuff? Yeah, that's enough for me to be interested.

Pros:

• That's a heck of a cast of voice talents listed
• It looks pretty epic. Did I say that already?
• THE WAVE! DID YOU SEE WHAT SHE DID TO THE WAVE?!?

Cons:

• I am not crazy about this animation style. This is 100% me, and not a comment on quality.
• I'm teased, but I still have no idea what this movie is about.
• Matthew McConaughey? In an Asian movie? Huh?

TT: Fantastic Beasts

I was going to do something else for Trailer Tuesday. But that's going back in the drafts folder. Because we had an event drop last night.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The next (or previous?) adventure in the Wizarding World. This is just a teaser trailer, so there's not a lot of meat there. But, ooh, goose bumps.

Pros:

• Duh. Wizarding World. (Nice how they avoid saying "Potter" at any point.)
• Eddie Redmayne looks fantastic.
• The world manages to look both the same as the Potter movies, but with just enough tweaks to make it both several decades earlier and American.
• I'm already liking the strong women in the trailer.
• The trailer itself is beautifully put together.

Cons:

• Is this going to be another bug hunt?
• Um....

I'm super excited. I won't lie. From the moment I heard "lumos maximos", I knew I would be seeing this.
