Check Out the Full Kit Kittredge Trailer!
Filed under: Fandom, Family Films, Trailers and Clips
Take note, studio marketers -- there are movies out there that can show a lot, and explain a lot without spoiling the whole movie. Back in November, I posted about the first Kit Kittredge: An American Girl trailer. It was cute, but it didn't really say much. This time around, it describes all the players, giving enough cuteness for those that love cute kids and family films, and enough about the adults to pique some more mature tastes. (It's not perfectly spoiler-free however. There's a certain brief clip that I would bet comes at the end of the film, but this is family fare for tykes, so it's not really a surprise to see it, and I can forgive it.)
*Correction: The trailer is exclusive to KOL, and was leaked to YouTube, so the post has been changed to embed the KOL trailer.
Starting with the uber-cute and earnest "I will laugh in their faces" start, this trailer has the goods. There's a cute pup and a monkey, a retro theme, and to just make things tasty -- a drunk librarian boarder played by Joan Cusack, and a magician boarder played by The Tooch -- and in case that's not enough -- Wallace Shawn. Sure, yeah, there's Chris O'Donnell and Julia Ormond, but they're not the people attracting me to this whole thing. The first theatrical American Girl adventure hits theaters July 2. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear movie news about Molly, Kirsten, and the rest of the crew soon after.

Fast forward some years and this girl is getting a DUI, all over the tabloids in love with an overly tatooed rock star...

Maybe its because I'm just a big kid at heart, maybe its because my girls and I enjoyed the books so much, or maybe its just a really well done trailer, but this looks charming. Great cast, and I'm a sucker for kids, dogs, monkey and tree houses.
I look forward to it, and thank you for keeping us kids up to date.

why on god's great green earth, do they always have to use that over-enthused methed-up low-voiced bastard of a narrator for these movies. it may be a good show, but seeing that trailer makes me want to jump off a large object, crying for the state of our culture...

I absolutely loved the new trailer! My daughter was one of the 4 girls chosen during the open casting in L.A. last May. I just want to say that all those who were involved in the filming of this movie were absolutely wonderful; from the director and producers, to the cast and crew. We can hardly wait until the movie hits theatres! I personally think that all ages will enjoy it - and yes, the boys too! My hat goes off to all those that made this movie possible!!
