This year has had to see the pirates from Disney, and next will be the turn of Aardman. Here I bring you the trailer for ‘The Pirates! Band of Misfits “(” Pirates! Gang of misfits’), the latest stop-motion production of the famous British animation studio, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation. Personally I cannot wait to see it, not only has good looks, but because I love stories about pirates, and unfortunately now almost not made. And when you do, ruin the magic, humor and adventure with products intended only to obliterate box office, not to captivate, excite or arouse the imagination.

Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, David Tennant, Brendan Gleeson, Jeremy Piven, Salma Hayek, Imelda Staunton, Ashley Jensen and Russell Tovey, among others, put their voices to the characters in the film, which was co-directed by Peter Lord (“Chicken Run ‘) and Jeff Newitt. Written by Gideon Defoe, ‘The Pirates! Band of Misfits “focuses on the Pirate Captain (Grant), who begins a journey full of dangers and adventures to defeat his rival Black Bellamy (Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Hayek), and win the prize for Best Pirate year. Unfortunately, much remains for us to see the movie, opens in theaters March 30 2D and 3D.

After the hiatus forced by the coverage of the Cannes festival, recovery Blogdecine polls now, hoping that you still continue to generate fun and resulting discussion in the comments. After spending the last two questionnaires to action films (the first devoted to movies, directors and actors, the second sequence), my first intention was to continue with genres, comedy and terror, and then I remembered something still bothers some and is considering the animated film as a genre (still long, and sometimes, copying data to the posts of new releases, we have been casting error). I also remembered the controversy started by the unfortunate comments of the writer Vicente Molina Foix, the enemy of the clay. And we have very recent campaign for Disney & Pixar ‘Toy Story 3′ not only compete for the Oscar for best film, but it won, considering he got the best reviews of 2010.

Therefore, I concluded that I could not wait to take a survey dedicated to animated films. For you to vote for best film, the worst, and the director who most inspired and you think your favorite animated character. I also added a fifth question for you to leave your opinion on the valuation received by animated films, if you think are undervalued, overvalued … As always, the answers that appear are only proposals, suggestions of mine, based on popular lists I find on the net and in my own tastes, but you have to choose any of them, that is why I included the “other” option, where you can write what you want. And you do not have to answer all, just what I want. Without further ado, I encourage you to check out the questionnaire and make it clear in the comments what you think about the animated film.

Here I bring you the new poster for ‘Cars 2′. You know that this is the next film from Pixar to hit our screens, on July 6 (U.S. June 24) in room 2D, 3D and IMAX, and everywhere, as always distributed by the almighty Disney, whose animation studios seem determined to compete with DreamWorks, where interestingly there are trying to look at Pixar. The truth is that turns me off at the prospect of seeing a sequel to ‘Cars’, but I will not miss anything that bears the stamp of flexo, especially after showing they could be overcome with a third party, would have been normal when I relax and just repeat the pattern of the previous installments.

In light of the progress we have seen, it seems clear that ‘Cars 2′ will try to surprise us again. Eye because the film is co-directed by John Lasseter, the big boss of the company, whose last job was precisely that facet ‘Cars’, five years ago, Brad Lewis has been assigned to assist with the work of realization, which is his debut in the film. The original voices of the characters are handled by Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer, Jason Isaacs, Joe Mantegna, Bonnie Hunt, Cheech Marin, Tony Shalhoub and Bruce Campbell, among others, and put the music Michael Giacchino. As for the plot focuses on the adventures of Lightning McQueen and Mater abroad to compete in a race that will determine the world’s fastest car, but the road to the championship will be full of potholes, detours and surprises Mate looks when caught in a web of international espionage to save the life of a British secret agent named Finn McMissile.

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have been responsible for awarding the Oscar for animation. As expected, ‘Toy Story 3′ Lee Unkrich was the winner in the category of best animated film of 2010. Hopefully not the last award that carries the latest gem from Pixar, remember, the best-reviewed films of last year.

It has also been given the Oscar for best animated short. The favorite was “Day & Night ‘Teddy Newton, also from the Pixar factory, but the winner was’ The Lost Thing’ by Shaun Tan and Andrew Ruhemann. I have not seen any of you do?

We have the biggest and best movie of the year assessed. If not this year, with this film, when?
This is the year. From the offices of Disney is betting heavily on the candidacy of ‘Toy Story 3′ for the Oscars in 2010, believe that it is time for the animated film is fairly valued. A month ago I brought a statement by Rich Ross, president of the company, which claimed they were going to try to win the Oscar for best picture, supported by the excellent reviews and the resounding box office success. According to him, never before had such a clear victory.

To try to raise awareness among academics, and win public opinion, the studio has released fifteen unpublished posters using images of ‘Toy Story 3′ to remember Oscar-winning titles, while recalling that it is “the best film year value.” Such campaigns are very common, and it seems that members of the Academy have a memory of a fish and need to be reminded of what they have seen and how good it was. In any case, there is a fantastic poster of which has been taken for ‘Toy Story 3′, as you have up there, which is my favorite. You have all below; I recommend you dig out (only if you have seen the film, one is a little “spoiler”).

Now, will this something? Do you have real choices ‘Toy Story 3′ to become the first animated film to triumph at the Oscars? Possibly not. More likely is that Pixar’s latest work repeat the achievements of ‘UP’ last year, nominated for best film, but winning in the animation section. We will leave doubts on 27 February.

I do not care to overtake the post of the year’s best by stating that the film that I liked most of 2010 has been released in ‘Toy Story 3. “Within it, one of the finest details, after “The Buzz” speaking in Spanish, was the behavior of Ken and Barbie love. Therefore, I am glad to report that the short film will precede ‘Cars 2′ will probably be played by Barbie and Ken and is titled ‘Hawaii’.

The director of “Toy Story 3, Lee Unkrich, had said at the time that these characters appear in the short to accompany ‘Cars 2′, premiering in the U.S… UU. On 24 June. Floyd Numan, one of the founders of Pixar, said in Twitter that I had seen a short, which seemed cute in the Ken and Barbie wanted to go to Hawaii. Is supposed to be treated the same piece, but also had long spoken of ‘Dream Vacation’, which could be this short. We imagine that Michael Keaton and Jodi Benson repeated in the voices of dolls.
