Brave? More Like Lame, amiright, Folks?

Now that I’ve made peace with the death of my favorite comic book character, let’s move on to some other kinds of posts. The full trailer for Pixar’s next movie Brave came out while I was grieving. I was excited, because I liked the teaser trailer, but this full trailer leaves a lot to be desired. Take a look:

I gotta say, I’m disappointed. Not by the visuals, of course, they look stunning, but by the proposed story. Pixar is supposed to make these great, wonderful and creative films. A world of talking cars. Robot love in the future. Toys that come to life. But what’s this story? Strong, independent woman overcome’s society’s restrictions? We’ve seen that story a million times before! Women are always proving themselves in these types of movies. I think it’s a pretty safe guess that Brave, or whatever her name is, will easily rise above her society’s unfair gender laws and win the day. Possibly killing a monster bear in the process.

So I’m just not as impressed as I’d hoped to be with the Brave trailer. There’s a little too much slapstick comedy.

Frankly, I’m pretty sure the men and women at Pixar started with the poofy red hair and worked their way backwards.

That's some pretty computer-rendered hair
