Agreed 100%! I'd be WAY more excited to see this movie if the entire thing was animated like that. In fact, I'd probably see it about five times just to absorb all the awesomeness. Then I'd buy the DVD and watch it another 700 times until the images were burned into my eyes. And then I'd suddenly want to become an animator.
I thought the same thing about the trailers, too. They made it look absolutely juvenile and pointless, despite the impressive animation (and that was before seeing the 2-D parts, which impressed me far more than the 3-D). But then again it's aimed towards a younger audience, so I guess I should stop whining. Still, it wouldn't kill them to mature it even a little bit so that us "old folks" (read: everyone above the age of 10) would want to see it, y'know, WITHOUT bringing children along to justify the fact that they're going to see a "kid's movie."
