New Image From Brave Arrives And There's A New Look At Frankenweenie
28 December 2011 4:34 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
The run of post-Christmas picture previews continues today with Disney releasing new looks of two of its biggest animated projects for 2012. Throw your eyes down to the gallery for new looks at both Pixar's Brave and Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, courtesy of Collider.
Neither of the pictures offers much in the way of truly revelatory content - after all, we know what the main characters in the films look like already, but it's always nice to see some extra imagery.
Brave, of course, is the Emeryville gang's big release for the year, and what we hope will wipe the unpleasant memories of Cars 2 from our collective brains. The studio's first full-on mythical tale, it finds headstrong Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald) chafing against tradition and custom and desperate to prove that she's more than just the future wife for some annoying lord's son. But her actions end up unleashing chaos and fury in the kingdom, »
New image from Disney/Pixar’s ‘Brave’
28 December 2011 10:30 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Check out this brand new image from Disney’s latest animated movie set in the Highlands of Scotland, Brave, the 13th feature-length animated film from Pixar Animation Studios. Directed by Mark Andrews (The Incredibles, Ratatouille, John Carter of Mars) and Brenda Chapman (The Lion King, Prince of Egypt), the film features Kelly Macdonald as the voice of Merida, a skilled archer and the 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 Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. »

New Images From Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie And Pixar’s Brave
28 December 2011 4:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Over the course of the year, we’ve been seeing some terrific things from Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie and Pixar’s Brave, both of which will be getting their big-screen release in the year to come.
For Brave, we got our first look at the trailer back in the summer, and have seen plenty of other wonderful things from the film before and after that. And from Frankenweenie, we’ve most recently been treated to a handful of images, both official and from the set, in the past few months.
We’ve now got a new image from each of the films, courtesy of Stitch Kingdom via The Playlist, and they both look excellent.
Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie is a remake of his own 1984 short film of the same name, and the images we’ve seen so far have been very impressive. This new image shows us the lead character »

Pixar’S Brave Takes Aim

Pixar’S Brave Takes Aim
I predict 2012 will be the year of the female archer. Not only does The Hunger Games heroine, Katniss Everdeen, acted by Jennifer Lawrence really know how to rock a bow when it’s a matter of life and death, but June 22nd 2012 will see the release of Pixar’s exciting tale, Brave, which features the fiery young redhead, Princess Merida, voiced by the simply splendid Kelly Macdonald. You know her as Helena Ravenclaw of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and as Margaret Schroeder of Boardwalk Empire.
Princess Merida may be the first ever female hero in a Pixar picture, but she’s anything but your typical royal. She defies tradition and as you can see in the new pic from stichkingdom.com, knows her way around a bow and arrow. It is a good thing, too, because we hear she will encounter some pretty »

‘Brave’ and ‘Frankenweenie’ Images: Princesses & Re-Animated Dogs
23 December 2011 10:42 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Disney has unveiled new images for two very different animated offerings it has scheduled for release in 2012: the Pixar princess fairy tale, Brave, and director Tim Burton’s 3D stop-motion, movie based on his famous 1984 short film, Frankenweenie.
Multiple trailers and images have already been unveiled for Pixar’s next computer-animated flick; by comparison, only a handful of still frames and production photos have been released for Burton’s new movie, up to this point. Nonetheless, it shouldn’t be too long before a teaser trailer for Frankenweenie hits the scene.
Here is an official synopsis for Brave, followed by a new pic from the film:
A grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humor, “Brave” uncovers a new tale in the mysterious Highlands of Scotland where the impetuous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) defies an ...

The Scoop: One of the most popular and acclaimed Broadway musicals in recent memory, "Rock of Ages" tells the story of a couple of small-town dreamers who get caught up in the big-city spotlight -- and it tells that story using the transformative power of '80s rock. That's enough for us, but if you're somehow not sold, the film version of "Rock of Ages" also features a Who's Who of Hollywood stars, including Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Bryan Cranston and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Pixar’s Untitled Movie Will Be “Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen”
13 December 2011 12:00 PM, PST | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Pixar’s upcoming project seems to be aimed at capturing the young female demographic in an empowering way with Brave, following Merida who “confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts,” coming to theaters next summer. So, where will Pixar go from there? What’s this mysterious upcoming movie that Pixar describes as an Untitled Movie That Takes You Inside the Mind about?
John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studio, would only give a nibblet of intel about this mysterious film. In a recent interview on the Charlie Rose show, Lasseter said that it “takes place inside of a girl’s mind and it is about her emotions as characters, and that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.”
Well, that’s setting the bar high! This Untitled Mind Movie sounds interesting in concept so keep it right here on SciFi Mafia and we’ll keep you posted. »

Q&A: How Does A Pixar Short Film Get Made?
8 December 2011 11:30 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] Over the years, we've learned a lot about how Pixar develops and produces their feature animated films, but we've learned very little about how the beloved short films get created. So I decided it was time we find out. I shot a message over to Enrico Casarosa, the director of Pixar's next short film La Luna, who was happy to shed some light on the process. "How Does A Pixar Short Film Get Made?" Find out, after the jump. While most people won't get to see La Luna until its released in June 2012 attached to Brave, the short has been playing the film festival circuit and already short listed for the Best Animated Short Film Oscar. I was lucky enough to catch a screening of it at the 2011 Telluride Film Festival, and I loved it so much that they used my quote [2] in their "For Your Consideration" advertisements. [3] A Very »

While appearing on Charlie Rose last Friday, Pixar and Disney animation guru John Lasseter let slip a tantalizing new detail about one of Pixar’s upcoming films. Previously, director Pete Docter (Up, Monsters Inc.) announced at Disney’s D23 expo in August that his new film would take place in “the world inside your own mind.” Last week, Lasseter revealed that the mind in question will be one of a young girl.
“Pete Docter, from Monsters Incorporated and Up is doing a new film that takes place inside of a girl’s mind,” Lasseter told Rose, “and it is about her emotions as characters. »

Pixar's Upcoming Film Will Take Place In A Little Girl's Mind
6 December 2011 12:30 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Pixar has taken heat for years over the relative lack of female characters in their studio output-- while Disney has created unforgettable female heroines (and yes, princesses) in Belle and Rapunzel, Pixar's amazing films have focused almost exclusively on male protagonists, with the exception of supporting characters like Toy Story 2's Jessie and Monsters Inc.'s Boo. But next summer they're bringing us Brave, their venture into both a princess story and a female-driven adventure; the movie's heroine Merida, as we saw in the recent trailer, is both a badass warrior and a girl fighting against society's expectations from a "proper" female. We have a few sketchy ideas of the projects Pixar has in the hooper to follow up on Brave, including the Monsters Inc. prequel Monsters University, and now John Lasseter has revealed that they've got yet another that will feature a female protagonist.
