I think it's pretty clear that there's lots of stylistic choices in Chicken Little's "look". I don't dislike it, but I don't like it. (But I appreciate Disney hasn't gone for a faux-photorealistic style).
I remember reading that Pixar had to research and test a lot to get the fur of Sully in Monsters Inc. right and that Disney immediatly had that same effect... Probably because they have way more money too
Or probably because it's mainstream technology now. Even desktop PC renderers have "hair-movement" functions programmed in. Pixar undoubtably led the way on creating and refining the style, but now copycat algorithms are everywhere.

Well yes, probably... But I remember reading a real reason about why Disney is really experienced already in CGI. I'll try to find it
I'm having problems saving the trailer. Every time I try and save it, it gets to like 10 or 18 percent and then it ALWAYS says the server is reset, cannot download. >__< What do I do?

Maybe you could try a download program, like Download Accelerator Plus. That might make the download go faster and not time-out.
Try here for WinGet, it's quite good, just right click the link and "Copy Link Location" in Firefox or "Copy Shortcut" in Internet Explorer. If a download dialogue doesn't pop up, just run WinGet and click "Paste URL"
Other than that if you just left click the link for the trailer, you can go into your cache folder ("C:\Documents and Settings\"your user name"\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\l1wrc3d3.default\Cache" or "C:\Documents and Settings\"Your user name"\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\" (Internet Explorer)) and find it there (in Firefox the file will be a random hexadecimal number, so look for the size and add the extention ".mov" to it, should work fine).
Hope this helps, Enjoy
No signature needed - Kyoto Animation put out some beautiful animation
I'm answering my own question. I just found it (it was really hard because I couldn't understand the lyrics!)
The song is "He's the Greatest Dancer" by Sister Sledge (from the Disco era). In case anyone was wondering like me =).
From the trailers it looks like Disney is trying to make another movie for their 4-10 age demographic, using CGI as an easy way to get more and more people to come. I still have high hopes for this movie though, but those hopes diminish everytime I see new footage. But still, it's way too early to form an opinion, since all we've been shown is two minutes of the movie. The trailers looked like they were focused on the comedic parts of the movie. This would be fine, except I didn't really laugh at anything in it. The jokes seemed to be pretty old. I hope they're saving the best stuff for the actual movie. I did like the part where Chicken Little was dancing at the end, though. I was thinking to myself: "Oh, yes. How cool......is that?"
Bring it on!
