We have have brand new trailers for two of 2014s most exciting new animated adventures.
First up is the latest trailer for the return of everyone’s favourite blue cockatoo (well, he’s some sort of of bird) in colourful all-star sequel RIO 2.
The entire cast of the animated smash RIO returns in RIO 2, and they are joined by a new flock of top actors and musical talents. Rich with grandeur, character, color and music, RIO 2 finds Jewel (Anne Hathaway), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and their three kids leaving their domesticated life in that magical city for a journey to the Amazon. They encounter a menagerie of characters who are born to be wild, voiced by Oscar nominee Andy Garcia, Oscar/Emmy/Tony-winner Rita Moreno, Grammy winner Bruno Mars, and Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth.
RIO 2 also features the voices of Will.I.Am, Jemaine Clement, Tracy Morgan, George Lopez, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro and Jamie Foxx in the film flying in to cinemas US 11th April 2014 and the UK a little earlier on the 4th April. Also returning to direct is Carlos Saldanha.
Next up the another look at the re-emergence of Rocky and Bullwinkle spinoff, MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN.
Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy Sherman, use their time machine—the Wabac—to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. But when Sherman takes the Wabac out for a joyride to impress his friend Penny, they accidently rip a hole in the universe, wreaking havoc on the most important events in world history. Before they forever alter the past, present and future, Mr. Peabody must come to their rescue, ultimately facing the most daunting challenge of any era: figuring out how to be a parent. Together, the time-traveling trio will make their mark on history.
MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN is directed by Rob Minkoff and features the voices of Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Stephen Colbert, Ellie Kemper, Ariel Winter, Allison Janney, Stephen Tobolowsky, Mel Brooks, Leslie Mann, Dennis Haysbert, and Stanley Tucci. It’s released 7th February 2014 here in the UK and a month later on March 7th in the US.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
