The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.

*sigh* Pixar, why do you do this to me?

The full-length Brave trailer is out and while some of the visuals are stunning and I've always had a soft spot for Scotland, the movie looks like feminist drivel with extremely dorky humour. However, this is nothing new. Every Pixar trailer since Ratatouille made it look like the movie was going to be a trainwreck only to be proven wrong. Well, with one, sort of, exception: Cars 2, their last movie.

How can y'all be hating this early? I'm beyond stoked for this movie. First Pixar princess. Yes, please.

I...am less than impressed. Definitely wondered why everybody jumped on the bandwagon back when absolutely nothing was shown in the original trailer. This trailer lowers my expectations even further. However...!

As has been pointed out, Pixar trailers are almost always subpar. I have no idea why. Perhaps so that expectations will be exceeded? Good marketing strategy, if so. I must confess that I thought The Incredibles trailer looked totally boring. I wasn't even convinced it was a real movie for months! And it is now one of my favorite cartoons. So...! Let that be a lesson to you. Never judge a movie by its trailer. Unless it's The Human Centipede. Then by all means. Neutral

I am slightly sad we didn't get one of Pixar's trademark teasers with footage not actually in the film. Y'know, like Mr. Incredible trying to fasten his belt while his wife called him to dinner. Those are always amusing. Anyhow, I'm so stoked about this film and y'all are getting your negativity all over me! Wink

They've done a teaser for every movie except the first Toy Story, usually right before a theatrical showing- like the short film.

Brave was no exception:

^ This actually got me really excited for the movie. The teasers are awesome, the theatrical trailers are horrendous. Thus, I've not given up hope.

Yes, there was a teaser, but apparently it used footage from the actual movie, since the bear scene appears in the theatrical trailer, as well. The famous Pixar teasers didn't contain any actual footage from the movie, they just gave you an overall sense of what it would be about. Example: The Incredibles teaser did not include any footage from The Incredibles, but it carried across the message of the movie: superheroes who have been out of the business for a while and gotten accustomed to everyday life. Is that the plot of the movie? No, but it is the spirit of it.

I think one of the things that has me the most disappointed with Brave is the fact that Pixar seems to be turning into just one more CG animation studio. Was Cars 2 an amazing movie? No, but it was about spy cars. It was still an original Pixar concept. Brave looks like it could have been made by Disney or Dreamworks or anyone else. The originality and uniqueness of Pixar is disappearing. A teaser that looks like any other movie teaser just helps to drive home that fact. Sad

^ I wouldn't say that quite yet. I'm convinced that Cars 2 resulted from persuasions from Disney rather than inspiration, but I wouldn't say the same for Brave judging by one trailer. The first trailer gave me a completely different vibe: it seemed to be a return to the classic fairy tale (Grimm-style) rather than the modernized, politically correct drivel we've gotten since Shrek.

We won't know whether the footage in the first trailer will be in the movie till we see it. I wouldn't be surprised if it is trailer-exclusive footage. It wouldn't be the first time this was done in a theatrical trailer. *coughDawnTreadercough*

See, I'm thinking that Pixar will take the classic fairy tale angle that Disney always did so well and do something darker and different with it than Disney would. That's why I'm excited. Also, the love the character design for Merida. Not Disney princess beautiful, but definitely appealing.
