Heads, Anticipation Explode as German 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua' Trailer Unveiled
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 4:40 AM on July 16, 2008
We should have seen this coming after our first confession of love at first sight, but there is no doubt plenty of magic to be found in the growing number of reaction videos to the Beverly Hills Chihuahua trailer. Brooks Barnes had a glimpse at the burgeoning subgenre in yesterday's New York Times, but he nevertheless missed the boat on the international phase of Disney's Mexi-canine plot: Germany. Spoiler alert: You haven't really reacted to the BHC trailer until you've heard George Lopez's Teutonic counterpart introduce himself, "Ich bin ein Chihuahua." Is it still vaguely racist in German? Is it even worse? And either way, after all of its accompanying marketing horrors, why can we still not wait to see it? [YouTube]

Friends... its vaguely racist in ENGLISH. It's the Soul Plane of talking animal movies. Hitler Kaput is less offensive to me.

While lacking the cultural significance of JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner" (which translated into the vernacular as "I am a jelly donut") this may be one for the ages!

Seth Macfarlane as Johan Kraus in Hellboy II was funnier. He has a nice open face too.

Gonna have to use the cover of internet anonymity to admit that I might have enjoyed the trailer for this more than the movie I was at the theater to see, WALL-E. I mean both are good but there's a certain undeniable magic here.

Does this mean we'll possibly have a Kitler cameo?

@raincoaster: No, Katherine Heigl is Defamer's Julia Allison. I think BHC is perhaps like a Kreepie Kat.

Is Beverly Hills Chihuahua Defamer's version of Julia Allison?

@el smrtmnky: But Heigl is ACTUALLY famous. Outside Defamer. Julia's wank material for a hundred thousand sysadmins.

@raincoaster: Wait -- you mean to say that BHC isn't "famous"? The trailer alone has already fostered an international community of fear and loathing almost three months before its release. It might come down to a Snakes on a Plane anticlimax, but we're performing a responsible service by observing this phenomenon from start to bloody finish.
