The world television premiere of the teaser trailer for 20th Century Fox's PUPPET PALS, the studio's first 3D irreverent CG-animated comedy without the involvement of Blue Sky Studios, will premiere on all three of its Fox's major TV networks (Fox, FX, and Fox Family) simultaneously telecast on Wednesday, May 18, 2005, at 8:00pm ET. The teaser trailer which runs at 2:25, depicts the film's first two minutes, where a dog named Slippy tries to store his bone in the ground, but inadvertently sets off a large earthquake.

In PUPPET PALS, a young man named Nathan Ritter (voiced by Jesse McCartney) is accidentally transported to the eponymous fantasy and metropolis city of Tinywood, where he has to learn a whole new and different way of life with the help of an adventurous princess (voiced by Anne Hathaway), an geeky lizard (voiced by Josh Peck), and an weird-named team of misfits, while an villainous woman (voiced by Sandra Bullock) is out for the destruction of Tinywood. Directed by Rich Moore and Steve Martino, and written by Cinco Paul, Ken Daurio, Peter Ackerman, Jon Vitti, and Mike Reiss, PUPPET PALS will open in theaters nationwide next summer on June 30, 2006. Also on Wednesday, May 18th, the PUPPET PALS teaser trailer will debut online, on multimedia-enabled personal communication devices and on the PUPPET PALS official movie website.

The teaser trailer for PUPPET PALS will make its on-screen debut in movie theaters worldwide on Thursday, May 19th with the release of STAR WARS: EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH.
