"Partly Cloudy" is the Pixar short film that will be attached to "Up" when the movie hits theaters on May 29th. Check out a 30-second sneak peek of it above, which doesn't demonstrate any of the humor, but does give us an idea of what to expect visually.

*UPDATED* The Caffeine Patch: Super Bowl XLIII Commercial Highlights

Monsters Vs. Aliens (3D)

Up

If the Super Bowl is reliable for anything, it's entertaining movie ads. "Monsters Vs. Aliens" went all out with their 3D trailer, which was followed by the also-3D SoBe commercial that featured characters from the film. (Feel free to disregard the Chuck part at the end of the top video.) Disney/Pixar provided us with a short new scene from "Up," which can be seen at the end of the trailer. I enjoyed both ads, & though the 3D didn't work out all too well, they still gave it a nice try. "Monsters Vs. Aliens" comes out March 27th, while "Up" hits theaters on May 29th.

UPDATE: Available for viewing HERE is "Animal Calling," the first UPisode in the "Adventures With Carl & Russell" series, which is based on "Up." Just click on 'videos' at the bottom & enjoy!

Have a bad week? Well, here's something to cheer you up! New trailers for two of the coolest-looking upcoming animated movies have surfaced. The first is for "Up," Disney/Pixar's next film, which is set for release on May 29th of next year. This is our first real look at the movie & it looks great. The second is for "Bolt," a new one from Disney which hits theaters much sooner on November 21st. The hamster is 'fully awesome' & my favorite part of the trailer was the very end! Finally, don't forget that both of these films will be released in Disney Digital 3D!

The Caffeine Patch: Up Teaser Poster

Check out the rather simple teaser poster for "Up," Disney/Pixar's next movie, which is due to be released in, as you can see, Disney Digital 3D on May 29, 2009. I really loved "WALL-E," so I have high hopes for this one.

The Caffeine Patch: Updates On Ice Age 3, Madagascar 2, And More!

To the left, you can peep a recently spotted standee to promote the newly titled "Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs," which doesn't hit theaters until July 2009. When it does, though, the 3rd Ice Age film will be released in 3D ... and, in the coming months & years, it won't be alone. In addition to Disney/Pixar's 3D re-releases of the first two Toy Story films leading up to the third movie in 3D, their major release of 2009, "Up," will also be released in 3D.

Soon, Dreamworks Animation will release all of their films in 3D. One of their biggest releases of this year (&, quite honestly, probably my most anticipated release of the year) is the sequel to their hit film "Madagascar." It seems as if, though, that they will be switching the name up for the second film from "Madagascar: The Crate Escape" to "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." The first picture from the movie is featured to the right.
