I came away having noticed NONE of that, just a good story.
Excellent point. I particularly dislike sexual references and visuals in shows or movies directed at children. Bodily function humor, much as I detest it, is natural to children. (Take my word for it - I have six sons.) Sexual posturing and humor is NOT natural to children, but is imposed on them by adults with a personal interest in sexuality involving children, if you get what I mean.
Went and Saw Brave Saturday with my wife and 3 daughters.
I really enjoyed it.
My youngest daughter is a tomboy and she really enjoyed the movie.
Pixar does great the animation is really good. The Horse looked real and so did the girls hair.
Well done Pixar.
Pixar has more artists within its walls than the rest of Hollywood.
I’m looking forward to going with my 11 year old granddaughter. She has very thick very curly reddish brown hair which, of course, she hates. So Tangled was good for us to watch and now Brave. Yay. At first I was, great, another anti-establishment feminist hero but from the reviews and trailers that doesn’t seem to be the case. I do love Pixar. We have the early shorts that they did pre-Toy Story. If you can find them, I recommend them highly. Monster’s Inc. is still Mr. Mercat’s favorite.
“The biggest challenges at Pixar are always the stories. We want really original stories that come from the hearts and minds of our filmmakers. We take years in crafting the story and improving it and changing it; throwing things out that aren’t working and adding things that do work. All of that is just the jumping off point for the technology and how we are going to make this happen.”
The story is central. Pixar also mixes a couple of different plot types to make their movies more engaging.
The “Cars” movies had the most pop culture references of the Pixar movies and were hand-down the worst of the lot.
I’m glad “Brave” is a superior film. I was bored to death by “Cars” and contemplated suicide during “Cars 2.”
By now, your choice in animation would be from movies about black,lesbian princesses defeating global warming, played out with the detail and dialogue of a Hanna-Barbera Scooby Doo episode. And a ticket would cost $50.
Concerning Pixar, they have about the only watchable movies out there. We rewatched The Incredibles last night.
Free markets and family values are banned subjects in Mordor.
I wonder if that guy still works there. Heh.
Disney owns Pixar now.
The whole point of naming Shrek's villain 'Farquaad' was to make it sound like 'f***wad' (which in turn was supposedly aimed at Michael Eisner). How more crass does a movie get than trying to trick young children into dropping the F-bomb?
If you’re talking about computer-animated films, I also enjoyed the Weinstein Group film “Hoodwinked”. It was another ‘mis-telling’ of a classic fairy tale, and the humor was quite modern without being rude.
My favorite scene was when the Big Bad Wolf gave his squirrel partner Twitchy his cup of coffee. The reaction of seeing an over-caffienated squirrel bouncing off trees at warp speed was hilarious. If you listen closely, as Twitchy speeds off into the distance as he runs to catch up with the good guys and get help, you can hear a muffled sonic boom.
The capper is when Big Bad (voiced hilariously by Patrick Warburton) ends the scene with “What...have I done?”
Never fails to make me bust a gut.
will not see brave in theaters, or dvd, or rent, will just wait for it eventually (see http://www.themoviespoiler.com ) Many of the people I know who have seen it were “ehh”. They had four writers on this and it was a weak story and the comment I kept hearing from Disney fans was “brother bear II”
Pixar also made cars 2 but apparently that “oil man is the bad guy” story did not fit the article.
