LOL: Watch Disney Characters Invade The ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Trailer
Back at Comic-Con, directorJ.J. Abramssaid that a new trailer forStar Wars: The Force Awakenswould be arriving in the fall. That season has arrived, but we’re not sure exactly when the new trailer will arrive. A smart bet might beThe Good Dinosaur, but that’s just speculation on my part.
While we wait, check out this cleverStar Wars: The Force AwakensDisney trailer mash-up that takes characters and elements from some of the House of Mouse’s classic hand-drawn animated films (and some computer animated too) and puts them in scenes from the second teaser trailer for the forthcomingStar Warssequel.
Here’s theStar Wars: The Force AwakensDisney trailer mash-up fromPistolShrimps:
It starts a little rough, but there are some really clever uses of characters after the first 30 seconds or so, especially Sir Hiss fromRobin Hoodbeing blasted out of the sky. Plus, I also like the use of the mirror fromBeauty and the Beastbeing used by Finn (John Boyega) to see Rey (Daisy Ridley) speeding away on the desert of Jakku.
There’s some strange back-and-forth between an animated Belle fromBeauty and the Beastreplacing Rey in the trailer, to a shot of the character being modified to look like a live-action version of Belle. But whatever, it’s just a fun little edit.
However, perhaps the best crossover element is the use ofJames Earl Jones' iconic voice as Mufasa fromThe Lion Kingbeing placed over the shot of Darth Vader’s melted helmet.
There haven’t been many parody trailers of the second teaser trailer forThe Force Awakens, but the first teaser got a bunch of mash-ups and re-edits that you can stillcheck out right here. Otherwise, we’ll be patiently awaiting the arrival of the next theatrical trailer forEpisode VII, and you can bet we’ll let you know when it arrives.
