See the First Five Minutes of Megamind for Free!

Nickelodeon has posted the first five minutes of Dreamworks’ upcoming animated comedy Megamind for your viewing pleasure. Find out how to watch it after the jump.

The clip consists of the entire pre-credit sequence and does an excellent job of setting up the rivalry between the two main characters, Megamind (Will Ferrell) and Metro Man (Brad Pitt). Looks like Ferrell can bring it even in blue animated form. Check it out here!

On a side note, what strikes me as odd about the film’s marketing is the tagline “Ferrell vs. Pitt” … as if we’ve all been waiting our whole lives to see these two actors clash. I mean, this isn’t exactly a Freddy vs. Jason caliber rivalry, or even a rivalry at all. Obviously kids don’t care much about that, but certainly it might drag parents in.

With that said, I am happy to discover that George Thorogood will get another giant check for Bad to the Bone. I bet he never thought that nobody else would ever write a song signifying “bad ass” as much as his biggest hit, but I’m sure his wallet’s happy about that!

Megamind also features the voices of Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, and David Cross. The film is directed by Tom McGrath, the director Dreamworks’ successful Madagascar films. It hits theaters on November 5th.
