Official poster for Pixar's BRAVE released

 



This weekend, Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2 hits theaters, an international spy caper that looks high on whizbang fun — but before that film begins, audiences will get their first peek at the teaser trailer for Disney/Pixar’s next animated feature, Brave, due June 22, 2012. It’s Pixar Animation Studio’s first fairy tale fantasy, and it marks yet another change of pace for the venerable dream factory. “What we want to get across [with the teaser] is that this story has some darker elements,” director Mark Andrews tells EW. “Not to frighten off our Pixar fans — we’ll still have all the comedy and the great characters. But we get a little bit more intense here.”

That feeling is also apparent in the film’s first poster, which you can see in the official first look below. You may notice some mysterious stones in the background of the poster, and that’s on purpose. “Those stones are actually a pretty important set in the film,” says producer Katherine Sarafian. “We can’t say what happens there, but they were inspired by an actual location in Scotland that we visited multiple times during our research. It was a very powerful setting for the kind of things we want to have happen in the story.” Check it out!

incorrect tbh. they're making more sequels now because before disney bough them disney owned the rights to all their characters, and since they nearly stopped working together disney was gonna make a bunch of presumably horrendous sequels to all their movies, namely toy story. now they're making sequels because they have the ability to, and all those years they had the time to think of sequel ideas. they wanted to make toy story 3 ever since they made toy story 2 because they had a good story for it (which they eventually scrapped in favour of the one we know today), not because the merchandise was profitable.

/csb but as a major disney/pixar stan i get kinda annoyed when people say pixar may be going downhill just because they're starting to do sequels.

Pixar may not have made the movies because of the toy lineups and merchandise associated with it, but Disney's reasoning for wanting said movies made probably falls along those lines.

you do have a point, because in the end cars 2 is gonna be a JUGGERNAUT. i wouldn't be surprised if its box office returns are on par with toy story 3 just because of how overwhelmingly popular the franchise merchandise is.
