First Look: Disney's 'Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'

We're having a pretty good day, thanks in part to Disney's decision to drop the first official Guardians of the Galaxy still after months of anticipation. But if you aren't, maybe the studio's other big reveal will be more your speed.

Disney has just debuted a new image from Miguel Arteta's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, based on the classic children's book by Judith Viorst. Though Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) is the only title character, the awfulness of his day does not seem to be limited to him. The rest of the family, which includes Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner, doesn't look too happy either. Check out the photo after the jump.

The synopsis tells us a bit more about the plot. It does not, however, reveal why everyone looks so shocked and horrified in the photo above, so feel free to make your guesses in the comments.

Disney's "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life — a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's not alone when his mom (Jennifer Garner), dad (Steve Carell), brother (Dylan Minnette) and sister (Kerris Dorsey) all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one. "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day," directed by Independent Spirit Award winner Miguel Arteta ("The Good Girl," "Cedar Rapids," "Youth in Revolt") from a screenplay by Rob Lieber, is a 21 Laps Entertainment/Jim Henson Company production. The film hits theaters nationwide Oct. 10, 2014.
