Just a little trivia regarding the animation of Monster's Inc, the fur on the big blue monster is a new breakthrough in computer animation, the animators were able to create a program that actually simulate's gravity, so that the fur covering his body actually moves ON IT'S OWN without them having to animate every little hair!
They also did the same thing for cloth on the human charactors clothing. Pretty incredible.
I still want to see this film though, and as for the 'EP II' trailer, it's meaningless that it's attached to a kids film, so just relax, i'm sure the film will be great.

Well, I have higher hopes than before. I really didn't like Shrek at all, and if a Shrek fan didn't like this because it was too "kiddie", then that's probably a good sign. 
The "Did you lose weight?" trailer was shown before Shrek, and I laughed more in that than in the main feature.
Biggest disappointment of the year IMO. I was looking forward to it so much, too.
Bring on Monster Inc. BTW, when does it open over here?

Well Stephen here is a review from one of our local papers that seems to match your response:

The force.net is reporting that a trailer/teaser is getting posted to the main starwars.com site on Monday (11/5). The way I read this was it would be the teaser in front of Monsters, Inc. Food for thought (wait to view it online and wait for the DVD). Although if you want to view it Full-screen and/or download it... rumor is that you'll have to purchase the pro edition of Quicktime.  |

It would appear that the response for Monsters Inc. is rather lukewarm and not as good as the Toy Story films or A Bug's Life. Could it be because this is the first Pixar film not directed by John Lasseter?
Still, I'm looking forward to seeing this and the AOTC trailer tonight (projected digitally too, woo-hoo!)

I really don't think I would pay $7-$10 to see a trailer in any circumstance, that would be silly. Now to see the Buffy Musical trailer on IMAX, that is another story entirely!

Its favorable rating is now up to 96%. How in the world did that happen? But then again, I'm tend to go against many of RT's ratings, so maybe I won't enjoy Monsters, Inc?

The reason there are some people questioning the placement of the teaser ad, is simply because there are some here that don't like Lucas. They need something to be negative towards him. I mean c'mon, what is so negative about the placement of this trailer? Nothing! If anything, Fox has made a buttload off of being associated with the SW franchise, and they have no right to be miffed at all. As for the trailer being on Monsters Inc., I see no reason for all the controversy about this trailer.

Bottom line: Does the teaser have lightsabers in it?
|
Sure does!

I saw the DLP presentation at Loews E-Walk this afternoon, and it's spectacular.

I agree with Ron, the movie didn't quite have the same feeling as Toy Story. Still worth seeing.
As for the Star Wars trailer, I liked it. It's quick, but it's all in the set-up. I don't want to give anything away, but it worked for me. Those kids should be far more scared of that trailer than anything in Monsters Inc.
