Channing Tatum's yeti has a tall tale in animated Smallfoot trailer

Gather 'round and listen to the tale of the most terrifying creature known to yeti-kind in the first Smallfoot trailer. Channing Tatum voices Migo, one of these white-haired beasts of the tundra, but in this family friendly animated film from director Karey Kirkpatrick (Over the Hedge), the real terrors are people.

The human is "a mythical monster straight out of your worst nightmares with wild eyes and a hideous face and feet that were amazingly, freakishly small!" Migo tells the yeti kiddies in the first footage from Smallfoot. "It's a terrifying creature with perfect white teeth and breath that just smells all minty fresh, and the only hair it has on its entire body is on top of its head!"

It's the legend of Bigfoot from the yeti's perspective, where humans are the elusive beasts of legend.

Tatum danced his way onto The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday to reveal the new trailer. "It has nothing to do with Magic Mike, all those men have very large feet," he joked. "The story starts, like, in a community of yetis," he added, "and they are talking about this mythic creature: the Smallfoot." <iframe src="//share.ellentube.com/video/ellen-surprises-the-audience-with-channing-tatum-during-12-days.html" width="575" height="324" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen="" class="" resize="0" replace_attributes="1" name=""></iframe>
