Monsters Vs Aliens Promo Cards

Dreamworks has been gearing up for some ComicCon promotion of their upcoming animated feature Monsters vs Aliens.
Dreamworks Animation has released eight promotional trading cards showcasing the creatures and characters of their upcoming 3D computer animated film Monsters vs. Aliens.
I haven’t been that impressed by Dreamworks Animation unless it has had the word Shrek or KungFu Panda in the title, so I don’t instantly get butterflies in my stomach when I hear they are working on something new.
As John has illustrated, there is a big difference between
The characters look silly, but its animation. I don’t think they were going for “gritty real” here. And there is little to differentiate what makes a monster and what makes an alien. Are monsters just alien types that live on earth? Some predictable “we are all different in our own special way” type moral will be tagged on here.
This is just a first glimpse for me, so maybe my opinion will change, but for a first impression all I can say is that it made me chuckle that the President looks like Ronnie Regan. The voice cast looks pretty impressive too, but that is expected.

I don’t know, I think they look like characatures of people you’d see in an old 50’s sci-fi flick. If they go in that vein, I think I’d really enjoy it… like a satire of something you’d see on MST
This is one of the few cartoons I find myself looking forward to.
Dreamworks animation is all I need to read to know how this is gonna turn out. Ugh.
A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
This could be awesome if they do it right. The voice cast is cool (except for Reese Witherspoon, who is a terrible voice actress).
General Monger? Are you kidding me?
“monsters vs. aleins”? this looks bad. but what sucks is its gonna be a hit with the kids
Aaron, I dont mind that its aimed at the kids. I have kids and I like to see them entertained too. Just not something I will personally be running out to see… unless I see more that proves appealing to me.
We have seen very little so far.
