Central Brave Discussion

Yeah she probably does. :laughing:

I wonder why they always wear the same dress. arn’t they suppose to look pretty? The same dress would get boring at one point.

Well, I suppose most of them have explanations:

Snow White kept the same dress she was wearing when she escaped into the woods. She hadn’t another one to dress.

Cinderella had just one dress because it was the one she got from the Godmother. She probably had more later.

Sleeping Beauty got hers and didn’t have a chance to change it since all following events happened the same day.

The Little Mermaid
 Well, she is a fish, so she probably didn’t have many dresses in her castle. She changed outfits a couple of times while living on land, though.

Belle also had some changes while living in the castle. No wonder, since she’s the only princess to be friends with a wardrobe.

Jasmine had the same dress on most of the time, admittedly. Thankfully, Jafar made her put on that great red outfit at the end.

And Rapunzel
 Well, she lived on a tower, so she hadn’t to attend balls and stuff. She probably didn’t have many outfits. Also, all happens in a short time, before she could get changed.

I alway’s wondered why Beast had dresses in his castle. Were they his moms
 or his.

They were probably servants enchanted to be dresses 8D

No, seriously, those palaces must be nicely equipped.

Now when I think of it, why does he have all of those dresses? you are right Pixarfan91.

Maybe one of the servent’s was turned into yarn and forced to be made into a dress. Just think, It didn’t wanna but all the other servents gained up on it. They never went back to being human and stayed a dress forever.

Maybe they are literly HIS dresses.

Yo do love drag jokes 8D

PS: Let’s back to topic and discuss about the dresses in the BatB board.

So how close to real celtic mythology do you guys think Brave will go?

If they do use faeries and what not
 well, let’s just say traditional celtic faeries are a little different to Disney “fairys”. They seem to be the blue light, or at least associated with it from the trailers.

They are used to describe a lot of different creatures in mythology (like for example a banshee is technically one), though they sometimes tend to be tricky little beggers, so I’m wondering if they give/tempt Meridth exactly what she wishes but she’s not careful with her wording giving them waaay too much wiggle room in which to have some fun with humans.

Stone circles are also associated with them at times.

Faeries are interesting as a belief and hung on for a long time, apparently my Uncle, who is ten years older than my dad was dressed as a girl until he was five to stave off being taken away by faeries. (More or less the idea was boys were stolen for work, they didn’t want girls and at five they were too heavy to carry off).

I’m just having this weird imagination of an encounter between Merida and a drunken leprechaun, who is inevitably voiced by John Ratzenberger, and I can’t really get it out of my head. That is also how close I think Brave will be to the Celtic folklore.

GUYS! A Japanese Brave trailer just appeared online, and it’s got TONS of new footage!

also, Pricklepants, your idea of Merida with a drunken John Ratzenberger leprechaun is amazing :smiley: I will be disappointed if this does not happen.

Nice. I liked the part where [spoil]she was grabbing for the bears paw[/spoil]. I guess that means its a good guy.

Or that’s her mother transformed, going by details we got months ago of the curse afflicting the family.

Somebody’s translated the trailer

Even though the article says, “Merida, the film’s protagonist and Pixar’s first female lead, fires an arrow and astonishes onlookers in a still from the final scene in Brave,” I don’t think it’s the final scene of the film, but the final version of the scene. The previous slides show earlier progressions of the film. It’s poorly written, especially for Time Magazine.

The Japanese trailer is easily the best trailer so far!

Yeah it is^^.

Here is a subtitled version!

Enjoy :smiley:

As always, the Pixar Japanese trailer puts the others to shame (but the title they used isn’t too good)

Now I’m totally hyped! (but I’m still a little afraid of the mother bear thing. Hope it isn’t true)

There were mentions of the possible appearance of a leprechaun in the film. I highly doubt it. Leprechauns are part of Irish folklore. Brave is set in Scotland.

Wow! I loved the Japanese trailer! :smiley:

I’m even more excited for this film now! :smiley:

i don’t know if I can see a leprechaun in a Pixar film. That seems more Dreamworks to me.
