Upcoming Pixar reader, Francesco, sent along this Wall Street Journal article which talks about Disney and it’s princess franchises. However, it is not specifically Disney that Francesco found most interesting in the article, however the mention of Pixar. I quote…
Disney plans to introduce a new African-American princess called Tiana in an animated film, "The Princess and the Frog," a response to demands for more diversity among princesses. Two other animated princess-based movies — one starring Rapunzel and another starring a Scottish princess in a new Pixar production — will be rolled out after that.
I did think it could possibly be John Carter of Mars as I don’t know anything of the storylines surrounding the novels, in particular, A Princess of Mars. I’ve tried looking further into the matter but my internet is playing up. Please help me find out if the Princess is Scottish. Thanks Francesco.
What are your thoughts? Could this production become known as "That Scottish Pixar production that must not be named?" for fear that if we do mention its name in a movie theatre….well let’s just not go there.

In the john carter novels the princess is from Mars. Not a Scottish woman in sight.
Hmmm. Interesting…
There must be 3 to 4 movies in production at all time at Pixar now. Most Pixar movies has 1 year in story and around 2 years in production.
Hmm, could be a hint of an upcoming Pixar movie no one knows about yet. Or lack of decent reporting.
Could be Brad Lewis’ gig?
No, actually 2-3 years in story and 3-4 in production adding up to about 5 years.
And many years before thinking it up 😀
OH YEAH!!!
I remember an interview of a Pixarian (I think it was a story artist) who did an interview and said that they had visited Paris for Ratatouille and that it had been amazing… and so on. And then he was asked if Pixar does like doing movies in cities or countries they want to visit. And he said yeah, we love to do that. And then he said something like this (if I remember it correctly): On our promotion tour for Ratatouille,we have been in the Scottish countryside and it was just beautiful.”
A Scottish Pixar Movie?
Brenda Chapman’s film?
Maybe there’s a princess in UP. 😀
I’m thinking it might be “Selkies”, which is based on Scottish myth, but I could be wrong.
