Usually trailers are a bunch of clips from a movie tied together to more or less tell you the story and the feel of a film.  Too often they give you too much story, so much so that you almost don’t need to see the film. It is interesting that a trailer for a kids film somehow got it right.

The trailer for Despicable Man below shows you one scene and then gives you the basic plot information without giving away the entire film.  It makes me really happy.  Not to mention that it has some great voices: Steve Carrel, Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Danny McBride and Julie Andrews!

I don’t know if the film itself will be any good but the trailer is super successful!

But in terms of films about world monuments, I recommend Jia Zhangke’s The World - which isn’t for kids but every adult should see.   Really.
