I thought they did it on purpose as an inside joke or something. How could it be "accidental" since that's a painted background and not a photograph?

I could understand that mistake in a live-action feature, since you have to rely on the existing physical world to shoot a film at some extent and so it's possible for something like this to pass you by, but how's that possible to happen in an animated film where everything has to be recreated?

How could the artist draw a satellite dish in there by "accident"? :?

I'm pretty sure the "accidental" part was a joke. :p

Well, I wouldn't know since I haven't heard the audio commentary.

Wouldn't matter anyway whether it was accidental or not cause you hardly see the fucking thing. Only a Disney fanatic would take their sweet ass time to analyze every single frame of a movie like that to notice it.

So much drama... and I missed it all! :o

Actually, I'm glad I missed it, because reading back, I think my head would have exploded at least a few times.

I didn't come here because I don't wanna know spoilers and those kinds of things. I did watch the teaser trailer and I think it looks fantastic! I like the design of Merida. True, she's not beautiful like all the other Disney heroines, but she certainly isn't "ugly". And even if she was, what does it matter? Would be refreshing to see a studio break the mold sometimes.

I'm guessing by "accidentally" put it in there they meant an artist slipped it by them and when they realized it it was too late to take it out?

God, no. That has Dreamworks written all over it.
You don't believe Pixar could find a tasteful way to just have a carriage drive by for one second that has the mere Pizza Planet logo cleverly, skillfully looking like an authentic medieval insignia?

Disney posted a list of 'easter egg's in Cars 2. Here's a relevant one. :) :

"SNEAK PEEK — In every Pixar film, savvy viewers can catch a sneak peek at a tease for the studio’s next release. In “Cars 2,” there is a “car-ified” version of prominent figures from 2012’s “Brave.” When the Lemons crash into Ye Left Turn Inn in the London sequence, look closely!"

I guess they probably could - just the way you said it, I pictured like some smart ass comment made about it.

Article about the music. It looks like Billy Connolly's character is going to have a drinking song.

Being able to hold her liquor would definitely set her apart from the rest of the Princesses

Wait, there's a song?

HA! So much for Pixar's "we don't do sequels and musicals" :lol:

By 2013, they'll have been doing nothing else for 5 years

One song doesn't really equal a musical, does it? Unless you think Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a musical..

^not the best example.

Shrek 2 had an original song, but that's no musical.

Kelly MacDonald Talks "Harry Potter," "Brave"
http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/blogs/pop ... 68098.html
Meanwhile, along with returning for a second season of HBO’s acclaimed series set in Prohibition Era Atlantic City, MacDonald has another major project around the corner, voicing the heroine in Pixar’s upcoming “Brave.”

“I really, really can't contain myself about 'Brave,’” she says of playing the adventurous, rebellious archer Merida, the first central female character in a Pixar film. “It was something completely new. I'm not finished yet. I still have some things to do, but it's just such a different thing, and I didn't really have very much to go on. They had some animation to show me. I know what she looks like, but it's nowhere near completion. The animators have been working for years and years on this thing. With all the actors that they've brought onboard, that means it's nearing it's vision. I'm just so impressed that I'm getting to work with people who are brilliant. Pixar is the best company, I think.”

John Lasseter Talks about Pixar's 'Brave' Challenge in Dublin
http://www.iftn.ie/news/?act1=record&on ... ws&force=1
Following a rousing applause for Pixar’s latest offering ‘Cars 2’, the Animation legend spoke to the packed audience of Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) guests for an hour. Disney/Pixar's two-time Academy Award winning writer/director/producer covered topics including the upcoming 2012 Pixar release ‘Brave’, which he said is the “first Pixar film that is a true Period film.” Set in Medieval Scotland, Lasseter described it as an “extreme challenge for computer animation,” adding that creating the human figure and cloth on computer animation is “technically challenging. The computer likes things are completely geometric and in a film like that nothing is geometric.” ‘Brave’ tells the story of Scottish princess Merida who defies her parents by pursuing an interest in archery, but inadvertently jeopardizes her father’s kingdom in the process.

I like Merida's design, and her Mother's.

She (Merida) doesn't have to be a babe, and have all the critics who say that she doesn't look enough like her Mother, considered the possiblity that she could look just like her Father? :P

:lol: It would be kinda fun, though. They should totally give a princess a drinking song sometime. That would blow the critics' minds. The Christian ban on Disney might even start again.

Does anyone else think the aerial shot of Merida on the horse (in the teaser) seems a little off? It looks sort of strange to me.
