Two new animated trailers hit Friday afternoon, and I wouldn’t want you to miss out.  Above, we have Astro Boy, from, Imagi animation studios and the director of Flushed Away, which is basically what would happen if Iron Man and Bob’s Big Boy had a butt baby.

After the jump, we have Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, starring our old friend Scrat, which combines ice age mammals with dinosaurs, as part of Fox’s ongoing attempt to totally F up your your child’s conception of history.  The only real question here is what would make a better baby name: Scrat Palin or SoHo Scrat Wentz?

Pretentious emo douche Pete Wentz has been going around telling people that Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard had based the movie on a Fall Out Boy album, and that the two would sync up, a la Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz.  (On enough drugs, any album syncs up with any movie, but anyway…) Meanwhile, Goddard says:

“To clarify … I was playing their album the whole time while writing ‘Cloverfield.’ I don’t want to undercut [the idea that the movie was inspired by FOB’s album], but it was just that the album came out at the same time as I was writing the script, and the way I work, I need music on in the background, and I was playing it, so it was inspiring in that sense, so I told them it was inspiring.” 

The main thing here is he admitted liking Fall Out Boy, which may explain why the characters in Cloverfield are such boring annoying hipsters.

Everyone in this story is like the people that go on reality TV shows, and when the judges ask them, "Tell us something interesting about you," they go, "Well, I’m like, really into music."  Oh my God, you’re so unique!  Everyone else I know hates music!  What’s next, you enjoy having fun?  That would be too creepy.  I think we’re like we’re soul mates or something.
