That is a good clip! *joins the Pleasantly Surprised club* The best part was either Rhino and the happy face or the boxer-like dog enveloping the hampster-ball with his mouth. 8D
But, uh, isn't it a sort of bad idea to show that part of a movie? It seems like it's part of the all-important self-discovery-climactic bit. I doubt anyone could say they found the contents of that clip surprising, but it seems like an extremely, oh, I don't know another word for it: spoilery.
I think they're being pretty smart about it ... there's a bit that comes before this scene that would be a lot more 'spoilery' (in that giving-away-a-big-moment kind of way) though still not really a surprise as far as what happens. By releasing this clip they can communicate a couple of already guessable story points, introduce the characters beyond just the catch phrases they use in the trailer, and (most importantly) give every one a pleasant surprise, which might get more bums on seats than the trailer alone, especially as the response to the trailer tended towards 'I was kind of hoping the whole movie would be like the TV show.'
