The highlight of my day at Comic Con was definitely the preview of Disney Pixar's preview of their upcoming movie Up!
They showed the first 46 minutes of the movie to a limited audience of 300 people.
It was a little rough with the sound but overall it was the great animation and storytelling that we've all come to expect from Pixar.
The story of an old man who gets his house to float using a ton of balloons seems a little odd at first, but they do good job with the lead up and back story. You will definitely fall in love with the character very quickly. The preview definitely left me wanting to see the rest of the movie. It's due out in May and I can't wait to see it.
The rest of the Con is fun as usual. You can definitely see the effects of the economy by the deals this year. There are buy one graphic novel get two free, and 50% off the newer graphic novels. I got really good deals on some figures and stuff that I would never have thought I would get in the past.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Joss Whedon presenting Dollhouse is sure to be awesome. He is my hero and I've never met him before, so I'm ready to totally geek out and wait for ever just to get his autograph. Wish me luck.

Day 2 of Comic Con
I got in late last night and was too tired and kind of lazy to write, so I'll fill you in on Friday night now.
I'm in the car on the way to the con now. I'm running much later than I expected. My sick Fiiance didn't want to get there too early and have to wait in line in case it made his cold worse. Anyway, I saw the premiere of the new animated Wonder Woman movie by Bruce Timm.
The movie was really good. The cast of voices was great, Keri Russell actually pulled off not sounding like a whiny brat, and Nathan Fillion was his usual charming, funny self. Disappointingly, Nathan did not make an appearance at the Con as was hoped. He did send a video recording that leaked a possible Serenity sequel. He was of course joking and said so vehemently, so be forewarned if any other posts leak "inside" info about that project, it's not true. The story was interesting, mainly centered around Ares the God of War. The dialogue wasn't too cheesy and the fighting was pretty good for animation. If you liked the Justice League New Frontier movie, then I'm sure you will like this movie.
The usual players are in town at the Con, along with some new faces like Joseph Linsner.
I will to into more details later tonight after I see more.
#1 on my agenda today is seeing Seth Green at the Robot Chicken panel.
