<\/a>It seems like forever<\/a> that these rumors have been floating around. I’m talking about Disney Studios chairman Rich Ross’ announcements<\/a> regarding Pixar’s 2012 projects, Brave<\/strong> and Monsters, Inc. 2<\/strong>! <\/p>\n

Yes, The Bear and the Bow’s name has<\/em> been officially changed to Pixar’s internal title, Brave! You may remember speculation surrounding the name since Pete Docter used it<\/a> back in May of 2009. Later, web URL<\/span>s seemed to back these claims up.<\/p>\n

Brenda Chapman’s film about a Scottish princess turned archer finally has a set release date, June 15th, 2012<\/strong>. That’s half a year after the previosuly announced Winter 2011 release, but I’m sure it’s all for the best. That leaves Cars 2 alone next year in what  was to be Pixar’s first year with two releases.<\/p>\n

Both titles are appealing to me, so if marketing thinks Brave is the way to go<\/a>, I’m backing them up. Disney actually just got a new lead in that department. MT Carney was appointed as CMO<\/span> yesterday<\/a> and will also have to focus on Pixar’s faster approaching releases including Toy Story 3.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Speaking of franchises, Monsters, Inc. 2 is in fact in the works and it’s coming much sooner than you think! Pixar’s fourth sequel is scheduled for November 16th, 2012<\/strong>. That’s a full 11 years after the November 2nd, 2001 release of the original.<\/p>\n

I’m ecstatic about this decision because I know Pixar has a strong story or they wouldn’t go through with something like this. The Monsters, Inc. DVD<\/span> is what got me into the Pixar spirit and continuing the adventures of Mike and Sulley is like a dream come true for me.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t look like Pete Docter is directing though, he’s talked about<\/a> an original project that he’s currently developing. Fan speculation is surrounding Bob Peterson, who had a huge part in the original film’s story and later worked with Docter as Up’s co-director. No plot details have been revealed.<\/p>\n

The announcement of Monsters, Inc. 2 seems to confirm that Newt has been shelved indefinitely<\/a>. Look out for my write up on that soon, I have quite a theory to share and it’s really not what you think.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on these announcements? Are you a fan of the title Brave? Are you excited for Monsters, Inc. 2? Why or why not?
