* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: In the Japanese trailer, the traditionally drawn scenes are more advertised. In the rest of the world, [[NeverTrustATrailer the CGI superhero scenes are everywhere in marketing, while in fact they take up no more than 20 minutes of screen time]]. The CGI scenes in general get the most attention in terms of marketing, when most of the film is traditionally animated. This may be due to concerns that traditionally animated features won't bring audiences in anymore, which is admittedly a legitimate concern.
