I go to the movies pretty regularly, which means I end up watching a lot of trailers over and over again (even more so since I write this roundup each week). Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, but one trailer really started to get on my nerves this year: the one for Zootopia.
The entire trailer is just one long, slow — very, very, very slow — joke. Based on the reaction it got in theaters every time, I get the sense that I’m the only person who didn’t find it hilarious. But after seeing it again and again, I had no intention of watching the movie.
Until I did, and loved it. Zootopia is a must-watch if you subscribe to Netflix (where it’s currently streaming) — a hilarious, smart, and really impressive film. And I guess for me, it’s a good lesson about not judging a film entirely off of its trailer.
With that said, let’s go do exactly that. It was a slow week for new trailers, but we didn’t run this column last week, so here are 11 trailers worth checking out from the last two weeks.
