Hey there internet people!

Do you have any suggestions for internet marketing? What sort of things do you see online that make you excited for a movie? What would you like to see? What turns you off? If you belong to a fan community, what gets them going?

Inquiring minds would like to know! Your input could lead to a significant reduction in eye-rolling and shuddering in the near future.

I always like it when Disney actually markets their movies like they're just movies. Beauty and the Beast promo comes to mind. It may be a Disney movie but it's still a movie. It's not like as if Pixar markets their movies like YET ANOTHER PIXAR MOVIE. They may say, from the makers of so and so but they treat each movie like its own entity. You don't see live action movies going, HEY GANG, IT'S (insert studio name) 'S NEW ILM!

What I don't like is that whole promo effort where they say "Brand new DISNEY MAGIC!", "Brand new DISNEY CHARACTERS!", "Brand new DISNEY SONGS!" you get the idea. Those are OBNOXIOUS. And the Disney trailer voice guy is a bit too cheerful IMHO. A new trailer voice guy would be nice.

Um ... actually ... I thought that's exactly what they DO do. Both the Wall-E and Up teasers spend at least half the time reminding you how much you like Pixar movies. The Cars teaser, if I remember correctly, consisted mostly of the logos of past Pixar movies fading in and out to the sound of racecars. Their biggest selling point is their track record.
