The BRAVE Teaser!

We ever gonna see that Q&A column?

Maybe a bit of The Dark Crystal thrown in for good measure. CANT WAIT!!

Anyone know?...sounds vaguely familiar. Very excited for this.

and I realize it's just a teaser, but there's nothing here that suggests anything we haven't seen before.

Sweet! So, like, by the end of the week?

He's the voice of "Lord MacGuffin."

i mean you're gonna be all super realistic (though stylized a pinch) and then throw a character with a huge pie face? she looks like that little curly-haired girl from a decade or so ago that was in every single commercial and disney or family movie. whatser name. she's doing nothing now. she was like the female haley joel osmond

Meh.

Sounds like great material for a short film, but, hey, a gimmick sells tickets. And $5 billion in merchandise. A girl in the lead of a Pixar film is nothing but a gimmick. Don't let the crybaby manchildren tell you otherwise. Pad out the run time, give the girl some more gender stereotype-defying goals to accomplish, have her bristle at the traditions of her elders, etc. etc. etc. MULAN + HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON = Instant Pixar classic. Yawn.

What da frig? That's not BRAVE, that's animal cruelty!

Could they have picked something MORE unappealing to look at for 90 minutes?

When Nordling comes he then says "Nordling out". Trailer looks good.

Walked past the shoot at lunchtime.

Anyone remember PIXAR Typestry from the early 1990's? It was a 3D text animator and renderer. They released a second version as well as Glimpse a program to edit the "looks", the pre-set render options. I still fire it up occasionally.

... I don't think Pixar was going for a mastubatory aid with this one.

Admit it, 80's Dr Who viewers, you all thought the same thing too....

Interested. Trailer was pretty, brief and shallow. Moon-pie face girl was momentarily distracting, but after 20 seconds I stopped caring. I think that stories about women and girls need to be more about their stories and less about gender-defying acts of womanity. It's like, the worth of a woman should not be defined by how much she can 'act like a man'. If subs is right, then it will be kind of bullshit. It does seem like they are chasing a certain DRAGON. I wonder if this will be Pixar's first reactionary film -- girl focused as a response to their male-centric stories; fantasy and Scottish-ish as a response to HTTYD being amazing. Maybe I'm just being too cynical about Pixar. I hope it's great.

If it's not Scottish it's crap.

there's not a hole lot here (visually at least) to distinguish his from the crowd; looks too much like a video game cut scene.

But seriously, though. I'm not sold on the movie, because of how the original director was ousted. Makes me take Pixar less seriously as a house of creativity and artists, more as just another studio-commodity.

...is to think of three things that you're genuinely excited about. Because your aggressive disinterest is boring.

Even doubting Pixar around here can get you burned at the stake. Just remember: CARS and CARS 2 never happened.

Hallie Kate Eisenberg? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004893/

back in the movie was called the Bear and Bow. Doesn't look expressly unique or intriguing, but I like Pixar, so of course I'll be there (even though I'm wholly skipping Cars 2). And I don't know if we can talk about this being "co-directed" by a woman, she's basically getting a director's credit out of courtesy or perhaps guild rules, but from interviews with her it sounds like she was essentially fired.

did that make anyone else want a Zelda movie?

oops

these fuckin guys have earned your Cunting respect. I rarely post anymore. A couple of bannings and an edit or two will do that to you... but the main reason is.. Cunts. You guys call yourselves fucking film lovers? There was always a geek backlash on this site. It was understandable because people made legible points. Some people felt betrayed by Lucas, Peter Jackson was a God! All except Harry hated Godzilla. But now.... Every time I come here lately it's filled with CUNTS hating on Tarantino,Jackson, the Burg, Nolan, Ridley, Hitchcock, The Coens, Pixar, Fincher or Scorcese for no fucking reason. The talkback might be about a Three fucking Amigos anniversary and some Cunt will pop up and say Kubricks overrated. These people ARE cinema you disrespectful CUNTS! Fuck me... You Cuntish trolls must multiply with water or something...

Pixar movies typically take several years of production, not to mention the pre-production stage, How to Train Your Dragon came out last year, so it is highly unlikely that this movie has anything to do with ripping off that particular Dreamworks title. Look, I saw Cars 2 and wasn't overly impressed, but this is Pixar we're talking about. They're still the cutting edge, and not likely to resort to apeing anybody just yet.

They should make a Zelda movie. Maybe. Actually they probably shouldn’t. This trailer didn’t look that interesting, but the movie could still be awesome.

Well said and oh so true.

What happened to the "WTF" teasers from Pixar though? I remember when their teasers left me really wondering what the hell the movie was about! Not that I'm complaining though, the teaser was gorgeous, got my attention and I'm so there.

a Thermasilk commercial. I mean that as a compliment, those ads are so cool I'd be down for a Thermasilk movie! Seriously, the first ever movie brought to you by a sponser. I've seen the future and it is brought to you by Thermasilk!

Yeah, you've gotta dig the red hair, but her face...definitely needs some alterations. Come on, Pixar, get this right! They've done perfectly good human female character designs in the past so....what gives?

I'm sure it will be nice to look at but I'm not very excited that three of the four characters they've teased so far are all women, and the one guy is supposed to be voiced by Craig Ferguson meaning he's probably going to be an irredeemable doofus. The day Pixar gives me a Simpsonsesque family of intelligent hardworking women and useless dimwitted men is the day I buy my last ticket to one of their movies. MIND YOU, I'm not automatically against female protagonists at all, just the super-duper-girl-power-men-suck angle that gets taken so frequently by lazy writers (everything from Simpsons to Home Improvement to Powerpuff Girls blah blah blah, the same shit has been coming down the pipeline since Wonder Woman if not earlier)

nice use of the exact same comment on two movie sites

yeah- that's it spacehog, thanks! that girl was all cheeks and curls with a little lip sticking out. this character design looks the same....

Sounds more like him than McKidd.

Just saw McKidd's in the movie.

Boys are stupid - throw rocks at them. Books for girls. Take your daughter to work. A women's place is in the house - and the senate. Women make great leaders - you're following one. AND ON AND ON AND ON forever and ever.

Human designs have not been their strong suit. But I could say the same for most 3D animation studios.

........And by grud I want to see this. Can someone re-touch this ad with the intro music from Shadow of the Colossus? Want to see. RIGHT NOW.

that and ICO. why isn't there a new game or animated movie to go with that series?!

Its called The Last Guardian, out later this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHzHoMT5eRg If Pixar have taken inspiration from Team Ico, then kudos to them.

hadn't heard about it. i get my gaming news rather casually sometimes. i'll check it out! ico and S.O.colossus are the sole reasons i still have my PS2 hooked up along side my xbox360.

And the heroine isn't missing two legs and yelling about honky mahfahs?

...don't let her wound the bear but it doesn't die and then she feels for it and realizes it represents the heart of Scotland or some other shit...are bear even indigenous to the that area...and she nurses it back to health and it winds up, in the end, being bearus ex machina and saves her ass at the end of the film...geez that would really piss me off. And it looks simply gorgeous.

Maybe if the bear were giant and had a satellite dish on top of its head.

But uglier.

After the quake in Japan Team Ico delayed all their games. The Team Ico Collection consisting of HD remasters with 3D of Ico and SotC is coming out this fall. However no one has any clue when The Last Guardian is coming out, next year sometime.

Oh, absolutely, you can't move for bears in the UK. Deep-fried ursine is actually a Scots delicacy.

It doesn't "look" any more advanced than any other CGI movie of late. That being said, this is Pixar, so I assume the writing is top-notch.

Like Andrew Stanton and Mark Andrews (JOHN CARTER) and Brad Bird (MI-4:GP), I see PIXAR heading towards a full-on drama, or perhaps stepping in to create specific characters for live action integration. Not like WETA with AVATAR or LOTR's Gollum, but actually scripting and directing 'serious' projects and bringing digital direction to a new level. Starwarsredux's comment on the Ghibli influence on the BRAVE teaser is appropriate. I downloaded the CARS 2 clips from Yahoo and they weren't very interesting, but I may check it out in LIEMAX 3D since I missed the original CARS in theaters.

Speaking has one of the genuine few scotsman on here i can tell you it is Kevin McKidd, since you can hear the Leith accent in his voice:) I am getting a ginger erection with this trailer!!! Its gonna be epic!!

ya i thought cabbage patch kid, then big rihanna hair, then how to train your dragon...the music did remind me of Avatar....but its Pixar and its not another Cars sequel so I'm excited.

Franchise in waiting that Pixar could knock out of the park and Disney probably still has the rights to it.

...in this one...Cars 2, not so much. Thanks for sharing!

Even if doing something Celtic in the wake of Brendan is a bit crass? Also, the most recent resurgence -- which happens every few decades -- of interest in the Celts and the Celtic Rennaissance was in the mid nineties, so they really missed the boat on that one.

OMG I love her hair!

Right on, brother gamers. I can see it -- except Ueda said something about girls climbing being unrealistic, or some such, when asked why the lead in Last Guardian was a little boy. Ooooo - found this interview about the Shadow of the Colossus film: http://playtilldoomsday.com/2010/09/21/kevin-chang-sotc-movie/ Last year, but the most recent I could find. Also Ghibli. Pixar is crazy in love with/respectfully jealous of Ghibli, so the idea of them doing a Ghibli film makes me feel pretty happy. Also, most Ghibli movies feature a girl as the protagonist, and very rarely ever get bogged down in a tired representation of 'woman power' -- the characters are women, and powerful, and they don't need to belabour a point when the story tells the, you know, story. I got NAUSSICA on Blu not too long ago. So great. I hope they do MONONOKE next. Blarg. I think I dropped the plot. But now I want to play Shadow and watch Miyazaki films, so I'm in, like, a good place.

It's Kevin McKidd. Poseidon in the Percy Jackson film. Trainspotting Kingdom of Heaven etc. Good scots actor.

I too have always wondered what a Pixar movie aimed squarely at adults would be like, but it ain't gonna happen. They know that all four quadrants butter their bread and will never give that up, especially with Disney at the helm. As long as their perspective continues to mature and the characters pander less and less, I don't care. It seems to be working that way (except for blatant cash-grabs like Cars 2).

Other than Lisa, how on earth do you come up with that?

I know it's a cartoon version, but you can see they're going for crazy horse eyes, and it's not quite there.

I wouldn't mind a movie of lush, rolling, Pixar landscapes with Kevin McKidd just narrating some classic folk stories. :D

Also, can't decide if I prefer the original title, The Bear and the Bow (or something like that), better. Brave sounds like a movie about Native Americans.

I think they did a great job on the look of the character, especially the hair. Makes me wish I had kids to take to the movies. I skip these because I don't want to be the old guy sitting alone looking menacing in a theater full of kids.

Why is it named "Brave" for a Celtic girl character?... I thought it was going to be an American Indian story.

.......Of Studio Ghibli making a Shadow of the Colossus movie - my goodness that would be great!! We have two of Shadow of the Colossus at home - one sealed, in case the (much played and much much loved) first one breaks!! Me and the wife are huge fans of the game, and both have taken on separate things after completing the game - my wife unlocked all the special abilities, and I managed to reach the secret garden!! I didn't realise The Last Guardian was delayed - well, the HD remasters in the autumn will tide me by. And I'm hoping, just hoping that Brave is going to be good, and maybe bear more than a fleeting glance to Agro and Wander.......

And at this point, that's all I'm asking for.

my vote is its him, not mckidd -danny boyle actors both

If I would've seen this trailer before the Cars 2 movie this past weekend it would've made my money worthwhile. I'm glad to see something new, original and fresh come out of there. Cars 2 was really disappointing.

eff Pixar and their overrated crapfest movies. Let's see...movie about a mean old-guy? check. Movie about rats in a kitchen? check. 2 hour sermon about human wastefulness? checkeroo. Just what every kid wants when they go to the theater.

My feelings exactly. Funny how people seem to have the ability to determine the quality of a movie that will not be finished for a year, based on 30 seconds from a teaser trailer. With such an eye for what is good, I wonder why they aren't making movies themselves.

Seriously, it's the first Pixar film with a female protagonist... but oh no, they say.... girls can't shoot bows and stuff... they can only have pillow fights and dance in tube socks.

Of course, these same geniuses have gleaned the entire plot and theme for this film from a teaser trailer, which itself reveals very little.

Welcome to the internet: empowering idiots to share their ignorant, knee-jerk opinions since 1996.

The quote IS slightly different though. But I repeated it here simply because there's a more robust comments section on AICN, which is pretty much all this inferior site is still go for. I used that moniker right here in river city for many a years until I was banned for no good reason, so now I have to use a different name, big deal. D.Vader knows all about it, he got banned shortly at the same time for getting my back. But I apparently didn'thave the juice to be reinstated like D.Vader did. Nor did I really care enough to give the old collage try. Anyway you act like you uncovered a sinister plot or something. Relax, what are trying to do, alert my old nemeses? Seriously no one cares, plus there's nothing lower than a rat (I'm kidding). Anyway I was hoping someone might read that and agree and say; "dude yeah, you nailed it, that's exactly what surged through my brain too, "Thermasilk"! But instead I get a guy who first of all fibs when he's declares I posted two identiacal post when in fact they're mearly similar and second of all doesn't comment on the truth of my sentiment. Just can't win around here I guess.

I'm not sure what they're selling, here. "It's Pixar, and it's CG animation...and it features a girl who at one point, may or may not kill a bear."

Looks interesting. Certainly would rather see this than Cars 2.

I love him really.....

cant judge anything by this teaser...

for those of you who said that pixar has had nothing original in a while....what about WALLE? Thats some of the most original storytelling i've ever seen.

Maybe?

I think it's billy murray, the voice of john price from call of duty

but they'll take her life.

I will be there opening weekend. I saw Cars 2 today and it wasn't nearly as bad as people are saying. If you compare it to other Pixar stuff you might be disappointed in it, but as an individual film, I think it was fine. A lttle too much Mater and a little too much potty humor for my taste, but not a bad movie. I did not see this teaser though. And I was expecting to. I thought the Toy Story short before the movie was cute, but it was not as good, clever or funny as most of their other shorts.

That's why she killed the damn thing on sight; she knew it was an invasive species threatening the habitat of indigenous blue glowy things.

"Cats don't type on computers." Seems like a strange bone to pick on a thread where Winona Ryder's pussy juice, Judge Dredd's undies, and Natalie Portman's yummy afterbirth have all stopped to offer their thoughts (nothing at all against those respective posters). This is like Nordling wondering where Cars ice cream comes from. You're on the interwebs, dude. Just roll with it.

They became extinct around the 10th century... probably because of little red-haired girls with bows.

Lassater wants to be him and it looks like this is the movie to try and do just that. At least from the teaser.

this is Scottish Celt/paganism. Makes you wish we hadn't wiped out all our large predators here in the UK. *sigh*.

being similar, as that's the first film that came to mind when I saw the trailer. But that sounds like a great concept to me.

WALL·E -- Most people said Short Circuit, but I'll go slightly obscure for ya: "For a Breath I Tarry' by the great fantasy author Roger Zelazny. Also, the humans in the story remind me of Mojo from X-Men, and the Mad Magazine short bit called "Blobs" (though that was probably homage).

A plot synopsis I found. Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late. Sounds like normal fairytale fair, which done by Pixar should at least be beautiful. I don't consider the female lead to be anything worth getting excited about either way. I do wish they'd gone with a different face though, as the rest of the world looks so very real it seems like the characters themselves may be the most jarring thing about it. Sooooo from what we know now? Pretty, likely worth seeing, but nothing to get excited about yet.

that also didnt have a stupid big headed ginger main character little girl

Just what I needed to wash the taste of Cars 2 out of my mouth (Pixar's first and hopefully only sell-out movie).

Funny as fuck, and so true....

Anyone seen this? This looks very much like it, down to the red headed girl and the mystic circle of stones (granted, both are pretty irish/scottish in nature any way). Looks good, either way.
