Pixar's Feature Films Brave
#521

Can I just say that I’m supremely excited to be seeing the Brave teaser for the first time tomorrow? And in the largest IMAX screen in the world, no doubt! I’ll be watching Cars 2 again for their final screening at the Darling Harbour theatre (their tagline is ‘World’s Biggest IMAX Theatre’) and I’m absolutely thrilled to finally see the trailer I’ve been waiting for the past few weeks to see. I mean, I caught glimpses of it on Youtube, like about one-two seconds of rolling meadows, but yeah, other than that, I have NO IDEA what’s in store. :smiley:

Pixar, don’t fail me now.

Hm… I think the Pizza Planet truck will be hidden in subliminally. Kind of if you look at a few trees carefully you can see its sillhouette. That’s what I think.

Anyway, I am still excited for this film, and Merida isn’t ugly at all. I’ve seen uglier people that happen to have loads and loads of fans, so yeah… and I still think it’s silly to judge the movie just by her appearance.

Just make like me and wait an’ see, okay? Hm… that rhymes…

#523

That’s what I would like. Much better than the Pizza Wagon (which would be an anachronism anyway)

#524

TDIT: You’ll love it. And boy, it ought to look really good on the big screen! :smiley:

Badger: Yeah, I think a shadow/silhouette should do nicely… kinda like Dug in Ratatouille. I wasn’t too big on the wagon idea either. :sunglasses:

I don’t know if this has already been said but I LOVE how they incorporated the original title (The Bear and the Bow) into the teaser trailer were she shoots a bear with a bow and arrow :3

#526

Hmm, I never thought of it that way!

#527

Am I the only one who always assumed that original concept art was meant to show the royal family at the centre of the story, and that King Fergus is the one-legged man? That they are one and the same? Facially, he really reminds me of Billy Connolly in any event.

#528

Hmmm… I hadn’t thought of that. He doesn’t really look much like a king though. :unamused:

#529

That’s interesting. Good thinking. He has Connolly’s face, you’re right, but overweight and without the white hair.

Now I think that you’re right and that he’s in fact the King, but maybe he isn’t. After all, he looks villainous enough.

#530

Hmm, I never thought about it that way. It did look pretty cool. I had a feeling after Kevin McKidd’s voice over where the bear appears, the horse is sounding like its saying “Brave.” Its these little things about the trailer that makes it pretty cool.

#531

Ooooh, I’m rather excited…
But you know that article posted about 2 months ago which gave away some spoilers? I can’t seem to find it :neutral_face:

Was reading some of the comments on Rotten Tomatoes about Brave and I came across a pretty good point. Although its looking to be a serious film, they might try to put in some kiddish things in there to attract the younger audiances. If you think about it, the trailer itself seemed a little too serious that more adults/teens would want to see it rather then kids. Its nice to see Pixar act a little bit out of the norm with this movie. It makes me wonder if Pixar will give this movie a “PG” or “G” rating. Also, not sure if this has been posted but heres an interview with composer Patrick Doyle about Brave. slashfilm.com/thor-composer- … ars-brave/

#533

I would safely assume a PG rating. Can’t imagine how they’ll make a film about bows and arrows and not show some wounds.

#534

It would probably be cool if they added some wounds on a couple characters like after they been hurt. I mean I could see them put wounds on the bear, but probably not on any of the other characters such as Merida.

#535

I guess cause Cars 2 was made more for kids, their gonna try to get the older audience this time.

#536

I’d bet on a PG too.

#537

I herd on various websites that John Ratzenberger is supposed to be the narrator for Brave. I’m not actually sure if it’s official or not, but wikipedia and a couple other sites have him listed as the narrator.

This is just an idea for what Brave could have for a scene. Anybody remember the piece of concept art where Merida holding the sword inside of some cave? Well maybe they could have some sort of backstory showing her before she became an archer and then how she became one?

#538

I think John Ratzenberger as the narrator would be quite funny 8D . Although if they’re going for a darker and more serious tone then his voice could be detremental, because he always sounds really jokey :slight_smile:.

#539

Well, he has an alternative, more serious voice that he hasn’t used in a Pixar film yet.

#540

I’d love to hear it, but I still think i’d struggle to take it seriously :slight_smile:
