Have you seen the trailer for this yet??? (I'll post it below too!) It looks very interesting and very promising! Disney has been putting out a lot more different movies from the different character perspectives which I have been enjoying. In this movie, they have a great leading cast and I hope that is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many times lately that movies have come out with great actors and that is about it. It will be nice when they release another trailer to get to see more of what this movie will be about too! What do you think? Are you going to see it?
