    They have released a trailer for it today, and it looks amazing!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYg0VgPy6Uk

    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 (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.

    Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of 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 (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of 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.

    I'm already more interested in this than Cars 2

    Was really looking forward to this when Brenda Chapman was directing but since she left the project last year I'm divided about it. I enjoyed mark andrews short one man band but I would have really liked to have seen Chapmans version seeing as she conceived the story.

    THe animation looks great, also definitley a new type of movie for pixar, good to see something original on the way from them considering the amount of sequels it looks like they might be churning out soon.

    Looks interesting, if a radical departure from Pixar. Let's hope the horse isn't wise-cracking :P

    Reviews for Cars 2 seem to extremely mixed, leaning towards the negative for perhaps the first time in their career (an outright mediocre film as opposed to the above average Cars). While I certainly can't complain when they basically made the most effective second sequel of all time last year, seeing them tackle all new material after a two year break will be welcome :)

    I was hoping for a bit more, but it's only a teaser. Looks brilliant though. It'll be interesting to see what Pixar will do with their first female protagonist.

    Looks amazing (cg-wise). I just hope there are no embarrassing cultural clichés. Hate those.

    Oh just found this on reddit. :pac:

    In fairness, I never really understood why the Vikings in HTTYD all had scottish accents apart from the geeky hero. At least this one seems to be in a Scottish-esque kingdom.

    They did live in a mythical Island inhabited with dragons though so It didn't really put me off :D

    HTTYD is probably my favourite animated film

    Here's hoping Brave brings Pixar back on track though. It looks great though

    It was because they used some scottish actors :P Quite a few characters had american accents too.

    I meant more in terms of animation and theme it seemed similar.

    Quite a few characters had American accents badly disguised as Scottish ones. Presumably the island was somewhere near Shrek's swamp.

    I guess you're referring to Gerard Butler and Craig Ferguson who are actually Scottish in real life.....and most of the other actors (bar the kids who just talked with american accents iirc) were english... *shrug*

    It visually looks good but it doesn't have that Pixar feel to it. Die hard Pixar fans can correct me if I'm wrong.

    It certainly doesn't have the Pixar feel, but how long can Pixar keep churning out the same (albeit fantastic) stuff before it gets a bit boring? Kids go to see the movies for the stories and the spectacle, adults tend to go to see how far animation has come. I'll definitely be seeing this, will be interesting to see what the 3D is like on it.

    I was a little disappointed they didn't snare Karen Gillan for this actually. ;)

    To be honest I don't go to see an animated film just to see the quality of the animation. I go for the story as well. It's all part of the package that makes these Pixar films so good. And another 3D film? From what I've seen already in regards 3D and animations it'd be just as good in 2D.

    Pixar sold out with Cars 2 and as a one time massive fan of them new releases don't have the same buzz for me anymore.

    This looks brilliant, Pixar really ballsed up with cars, its strange that they let it happen but probably good that the got there bad movie out of the way. In years to come surely people will look back on the Piar collection as they do now with the Disney Classics Collection

    It is weird hearing Kelly McDonald back in Scots mode, after her flawless Texan accent in No Country For Old Men. :cool:

    Really reminded me of Disney's Robin Hood:

    It looks decent enough, though I think I'd have to see a different trailer before shelling out to see it in the cinema. And was it me or was the animation a bit "off" in parts? (where yer man's dancing around the 1:15 mark?)
