I dunno. I could see it as either "brilliant" or "fail of the highest order", depending on, well, on being able to read any of the text or understand any of the dialogue in the trailer. :p I think it's ultimately a highly personal thing. After all, there are huge numbers of people that thought "Cars", the Disney/Pixar flick, was The Most Brilliant Animated Movie Ever (well, before WallE), but I found it tremendously off-putting and occasionally creepy, for reasons I can summarize using a single line of dialogue from the film:
"We siphoned your gas while you were asleep."
The implications of that make me want to hide under the bed forever. And that's the risk you take with the "it's the regular world, except everyone's an animal/car/balloon/vegetable" approach. As soon as you flip someone's squick switch, for whatever reason, the disconnect tends to be total. For an example of animals-are-people done completely, totally, and blatantly wrong, look up a CG feature from a few years back, "BarnYard: the Original Party Animals". It's so bad, I want to call it "counter-brilliant". :>
