Inner Workings
Trailer Effectiveness = 90%
Chance of Success = 95%
Going off the success of Inside Out, this short coming right before Moana would see the constant battle between the logical mind of the brain with the spontaneous mind of the heart as the owner lives with the consequences.
+ Highlights +
Extending on the basic concept of Inside Out, giving human emotions to the brain and vital organs in the protagonist and literally affect how he react with the surroundings,
oh yeah, showing the young audiences how the inside of their bodies work while entertaining them at the same time.
? Points of contention ?
The owner of the body's action would affect how the organs would feel, just like in real life ...
the clashing opinion between the heart and the head might feel too similar to Inside Out.
- Lowlights -
Nothing wrong with going the more cartoonic style rather than the realistic of the last two shorts (Lava & Piper), but it could be jarring for some although appropriate coming before Moana though.
(Director - Leo Matsuda [story artist of Big Hero 6 & Wreck-It Ralph], Genre - Animation, Emotion, Human Body)

Trailer Effectiveness = 100%
Chance of Success = 90%
A character piece revolving around the First Lady and her life before, during, and after the incident as she was being faithfully portrayed and brought to life by Natalie Portman with a tour-de-force performance.
+ Highlights +
perfectly captured the vintage feel and look (the shot off the window's reflection, off the plane with the pink dress, the car rushing through the highway, the happier times with the family),
focusing only on her as the title suggests, how her life revolves around the president before, during and after the incident while Natalie Portman portrays her with everything off the spectrum
the beautifully nostalgic yet somber soundtrack.
? Points of contention ?
There is still a lot of controversy regarding the assassination and whether or not it would be included in the movie, risking overshadowing the title character.
- Lowlights -
Some might want the focus to be on Kennedy as well but this is a character piece solely on her.
Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy, Peter Sarsgaard as Bobby Kennedy, Caspar Phillipson as J.F.K. ...
- Synopsis -
Following the assassination of her husband, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy fights through grief and trauma to regain her faith, console her children, and define her husband's historic legacy.
(Rated R, Director - Pablo Larraín [Tony Manero], Music - Mica Levi [Under the Skin], Budget - $ 9 Million, Duration - 1 hr 39 mn, Genre - Drama, Family, Tragedy)

Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XVTrailer Effectiveness = 100%
Chance of Success = 40%
A full animated feature of the long running game franchise that might find it hard to attract non-gamers to watch it as a pure cinematic experience.
+ Highlights +
CGI's quality is at the highest end of quality with world class production behind it,
the world class voice cast behind the characters,
the genre of magic and fantasy being combined together with an amalgamation
? Points of contention ?
Extra baggage the game franchise brings with it would overwhelmed the newcomers,
the familiar name of the franchise would entice some to see it but the daunting XV (or Fifteenth) might scare others from it.
- Lowlights -
Even with a new iteration for every episode, this prequel movie for the next one (XV) is already filled to the brim with background history that the viewers would have difficulty to follow with if they couldn't get on the ride.
Aaron Paul, Lena Headey, Sean Bean ...
- Synopsis -
King Regis, who oversees the land of Lucis, commands his army of soldiers to protect the kingdom from the Niflheim empire's plans to steal the sacred crystal which gives Lucis its magic and power.
(Duration 1 hr 50 mn, Genre - Animation, Action, Adventure, Fantasy)
