The vision and scale on display here is impressive, and you [...]

It's Dumbo, the live-action remake of the 1941 Disney animated classic about an orphaned baby circus pachyderm with floppy oversized ears. This is the first official trailer for the movie from director Tim Burton, following an initial teaser released this [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=nQk7DWW4mz8 Leave to Pixar to deliver, in stealth fashion, a reunion that many comedy fans have been longing for. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, a.k.a. the stars of the long-running sketch comedy series Key & Peele, are the voices of two new characters in Toy Story 4. One day after the first teaser for the [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1roy4o4tqQM&feature=share "Deadpool for Kids" is basically what you get when Ryan Reynolds does the voice for Pikachu...and that's exactly what the first live-action Pokémon movie is offering up. POKÉMON Detective Pikachu plops a CGI version of that yellow fuzzy rodent into the real world, fueled by Reynolds' snarky sass dialed in for the entire family. The [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDXYRzerjzU No spoilers, just radar-pinging in this first brief teaser for Toy Story 4. Avoiding plot details entirely, the whole purpose of this promo quickie (well-timed to be tagged on the front of Ralph Wrecks The Internet) is to remind everyone that this is coming out next summer. That, and to introduce a new character: [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=Cm500za3Gwc Need some cliffs notes to connect the new Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald to the original Harry Potter films? Yeah, me too. With a mythology this dense, it's hard for mortal muggles to maintain an encyclopedic recall of every detail, even some of the big ones. This new promo from Warner Bros. helps connect [...]

Amidst all the magic, adventure, and wonder -- which is what previous trailers for Mary Poppins Returns have focused on -- what has endeared the magical nanny to millions of fans (girls especially) for over five decades is her proper "spit [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=92&v=Do2QZsh-EVo What mind has read and ear has heard, the eye will finally see. That's the promise author J.K. Rowling sets in this 90-second promo tease for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second prequel-sequel in this early 20th Century-set saga from the popular Potterverse (which began with 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where To [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g5knnlF7Zo This whole world doesn't look all that new. The first teaser for Disney's live action remake of Aladdin just dropped and...it's mostly animated?! It's pretty lame, really, what passes for "live action" today in our digitally-overloaded blockbusters. In this first look, the only thing that looks real is the brief glimpse of Aladdin himself, [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=162&v=Q7ztHi9ejp4 Gaga is far from the shallow now, and Glass is about to be out of the shadows. In the latest trailer for Glass, the final film in the Unbreakable trilogy that we never knew we'd get until that cool twist at the end of 2016's Split, Mr. Glass and The Beast are unleashed.
