Oct 10 2007New 'The Golden Compass' Trailer Fun for All Non-Jaded Ages
The Golden Compass is the kind of movie that I would have loved as a child, or even a few years ago, but with The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and a seemingly bottomless well of Harry Potter films, I'm too exhausted for another fanciful three-movie investment. It's not even just the length; it's that I'm going to have to yet again learn the rules to an entirely new world where more oddball characters chase around a MacGuffin.
That's just a polar bear, right? No, it turns out polar bears here wear armor and have the voice of Ian McKellan. And that ferret.... just a ferret? Of course not. You'd know it was a daemon if watched the sub-trailer to this trailer, "defining daemons," which explains the roles of soul-bound animals in this world. Duh.
If you have the energy, watch above, or in higher quality on Yahoo!

Actually, the majority of people with main roles seem to be actors, which is quite unusual for this kind of fantasy-stuff. (See Harry Potter and LOTR for non-actors in leading roles.)
