I saw that right away, but it looks nothing like a bear to me. Some sort of mythical creature, maybe, but no way a bear.
Curious. I’m pretty sure it’s a bear’s silhouette.
Wow, looks good. This will really spark my interest up much more than Cars 2, which is not creating alot of interest to me, even though I liked the first one 
Please read my post again. It appears you have misunderstood it. For the record, I think Rango is not a very ‘kid-friendly’ movie, and the ‘Owl movie’ has a proper name. And calling someone’s opinion “silly” isn’t very matured, bud. 
.
Thanks for the clarification Bryko, that’s exactly what I meant. To anyone else who’s misinterpreted me, just compare the character animation from Toy Story with say, Grave of the Fireflies. The former feels like a ‘cartoon’ (although like Bryko said, there are more intimate and ‘grown-up’ pensive moments) while the latter feels like a live-action movie. Once again, I’m speaking with respect to the character design and the animation, not the themes.
Wow, they’re really pulling out all the stops here!
Anyway, great observation on the figure in the first picture, I didn’t notice it! I think it looks like a giant owl, but then again it could be a wombat or something. 
I wonder whether the title 'Brave ’ is an adjective like ‘Tangled’, or a noun like ‘Mulan’ (in the sense that the heroine’s nickname will become ‘Brave’ by the end of the movie or something).
Remember the original title of the movie. We know a bear is central to the plot. I’m pretty sure it is this one. Can’t wait to see him on CGI!
Sorry about the double post, but I just came across this one:
The horse looks awesome, but I’m still not feeling good about Merida. Must be that hair…
rango was made for 7 year olds in mind. There’s nothing “adult” about it–it’s one of the most purile, juvenile and unimaginative cartoons ever made. And that owl movie was even worse than sucker punch or watchman (both awful things). Almost makes that childish pablum secret of nimh palatable. Almost.
and rango was ugly.
The Toy Story movies deal with abandonment, death, and much more mature, adult issues, and handle them in far more adult and imaginative ways. Actually, MOST of Pixar’s films do this. Only Cars and maybe A Bug’s Life were made more for kids in mind.
…Rango was unimaginative? And completely non-adult? Can you expand on your point a little bit?
the horse from the new still looks huge, unproportional if we compare it to Merida’s size, but I know it is just a concept art

Aside from the fact that your criticisms are from constructive, employ a lot of hyperbole ("most", "ever made", etc.) and have no explanation whatsoever (which scenes are juvenile, what exactly do you mean by worse, why do you say such and such is like pablum, etc.), I’m sure that you’d be surprising a lot of members here when you say things like Secret of the NIMH is "childish" or, that Rango is "purile".
Care to elaborate?
A snake with a gun on it’s tail? A shallow plot and characters that makes saturday morning cartoons look deep? Bats with machine guns? A bird with an arrow through it’s eye? Yeah–real mature. A world that never makes sense (real sized water bottles, but rodent sized cigarettes, guns, and glasses? )
No, it’s a very childish, juvenile film all the way around.
rango is akin to elementary school boys picking boogers and wiping them on each other. Real “mature.”
Please no double posting - TDIT
It seems your idea of “juvenile” is what we consider “surreal”
I don’t see a single thing “juvenile” about any of the “points” you mentioned. It’s a fantasy - does it even matter if the water bottles are large, or is snakes have guns on their tails? It didn’t seem like it was being childish or thrown together. I felt a lot of imagination going on in the movie. How are the characters shallow? And I don’t recall ever seeing a Saturday morning kid’s cartoon this deep…I’m baffled.
But, alas, I think we’re derailing the thread. If you want to talk about it more, it would probably be best to post it in the Rango thread on the Other Animation board.
OH
I
SEE
soooooooo.
anyone care to get us back on topic? because after reading that, i’ve got nothing.
This is the first time I posted on this Brave thread, and for some reason someone is bashing Rango? Random.
Anyway, the concept art is beautiful, I can’t wait to see some stills!
How is that immature? It’s just funny.
I could do this for Toy Story too. A metrosexual doll? A dance sequence to Le Freak? A 30 minute Spanish Buzz segment? Yeah–real mature. So, you’re not proving anything. And once again, TDIT was referring to art style in the first place, not the story itself.
Thanks for standing up for me, guys.
It appears this… fellow, has had a bad experience with Rango, Secret of the N.I.M.H. and several Zack Snyder movies. While it seems he’s absolutely impressed with most of Pixar’s films including Toy Story 3, I’m afraid I will not fan his indignation by posting my personal opinions or well-intentioned constructive criticisms. So to you, RandiJ, I apologise if I have offended you, and to that, I say:
Oh, and please no double-posting.
…
Aaanyway, I’m really looking forward to Brave. I’m pleased Brenda Chapman is getting a director’s credit, the lady deserves it. I’m also interested to see what this Mark Andrews brings to the table, and if he is indeed a Scotsman (as I’ve read in one of the posts), that should make the direction all the more authentic!
Also, thanks for posting the image, Spirit of Adventure. I think Merida looks much better than the horse, TBH! 
I adore the concept art for Brave, I really do. It’s beautiful. Pixar has been disappointing me with all their sequels lately a bit but this makes up for it, really.
AGREED. Though I’m still holding out for Cars 2 and Monsters University.
The concept art does look cool. (although I too wonder how the topic of Rango came into play here) Still not sold on the name, but whatever. I especially liked the one with the castle.
