Kensuke Kingdom, best Young Adult Fiction reads, do film trailers reveal too much?

Kinsuke's Kingdom: the animated film with an environmental message, why are film trailers so long?, Young Adult fiction reads, Christopher Hall: from TikTok to stand-up.

Directors Neil Boyle and Kirk Hendry on Kinsuke's Kingdom, their hand-drawn animated film which features a shipwrecked boy who learns about the natural world from a Japanese soldier who's been living secretly on an island since the end of World War II.

How closely do we watch trailers when deciding which film to watch next? Film critic Larushka Ivan Zadeh and Sam Cryer from Intermission Trailer House discuss the art of the movie trailer, whether they are now too long and reveal too many spoilers.
