First trailer for A Minecraft Movie delivers on iconic in-game moments

A Minecraft Movie has dropped its first full-length trailer today, expanding on the blocky world hinted at by the teaser released in September.

Jack Black provides a voiceover about how his character, Minecraft mascot and stock avatar Steve, was drawn to the mines as a child and discovered the Overworld. This all sounds like pretty standard fare for a video game movie — rag-tag group of misfits band together and learn the power of friendship. The art style they've chosen doesn't speak to me, but I'm also willing to admit to some bias after hundreds of hours spent looking at the original source material.
