It looks AMAZING. Should be Pixar's most visually striking movie yet. Also good to hear that Chapman is still getting a director credit.

I have a feeling this may be Pixar's most matured movie yet. By that, I mean in terms of characters and setting, and maybe themes. Most Pixar movies have very matured themes, but they are presented through 'child-friendly' characters.
To further clarify, characters from say Rio, Toy Story 3, Despicable Me and Kung Fu Panda look and act 'childish' in the sense that they have bright colour palettes and are prone to exaggerated movements. Characters from say, Akira, Rango, Legend of the Guardians, and Secret of the N.I.M.H. are more reserved and 'matured' in the way they act and look.
Brave looks like a 'realistic' cartoon like Don Bluth films (Anastacia) and the older traditionally-animated Dreamworks and Warner Bros. films (Prince of Egypt, Quest for Camelot). And that's good and utterly refreshing. I see movies like Cars 2 and Kung Fu Panda 2 and get the feeling that they are pandering to kids (although I'm sure there will be some matured themes and double-entendres for the adults). But when I see something like Brave, I get the feeling it's 'grown-up'. The colour palette is very muted and for want of a better word, dark. It has a very strong chance of beating Ratatouille for having the most sophisticated and 'adult-oriented' plot and themes.
And I finally read the synopsis for the first time. Interesting stuff. If it's like a Robin Hood or Gladiator style storyline, I'm very excited.

And I'm so glad that they have got a fully British-and mostly Scottish-cast now aswell. I'm also glad that Brenda Chapman will get credit, and I also really, really like the concept art. I'm really excited for this!

Oh, goodness, that artwork is absolutely STUNNING. Just stunning. I could stare at it for a long time and never get tired of it.

And currently I'm checking out the voice cast. I haven't heard of a few of these guys, but I'm sure the cast will be great.

Okay, I think I'm about 50% more excited for Brave now.

Reese Witherspoon, who was originally attached to voice the main role of Merida was unable to work on the film due to “scheduling issues.”
I liked this girl, but she was so stupid for not accepting the role,,,, GOD, she worked with DW being Ginormica in monsters vs aliens



on the other hand I send my best wishes to Kelly Macdonald,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, my Princess Merida

Don't jump into conclusions yet. We don't know how that happened. In any case, the source said she was "unable" not that she didn't accept.
And Pricklepants might be right. Maybe the directorial change was the direct responsible of her replacement.

Yes, makes me very pleased too

Next summer, join Merida as she journeys through the Highlands of Scotland, defying an age-old custom, to prove to her family and her country that she is Brave.

and she denied to be and get the first lead female role in a pixar film ,,,,,,, such a dumbass decision IMO
like someone mentioned, she said she was ~unable to do it and the article says she was replaced. i mean, i remember when she was promoting monsters vs aliens and she was talking about voicing this character in brave and she was so, so excited about it. seriously, she mentioned that she always got tons of offers for voice acting but this was one that stuck out to her and she was thrilled about it. so i dunno what changed between now and then, although i ~am quite excited that an actual scottish actress will be doing the voice. neat.
