Walt Disney Studios has provided us with its annual film preview for 2012 and, taking our cue from Gaston from Beauty and the Beast 3D (how’s that for a segue?), we can only make sense of reading material by the pictures. That said, while most of the imagery found in the preview has already been released, here’s a couple of images we didn’t readily recognize, nor did a cursory search turn them up.
Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Involved in Trademark Dispute with Atlanta Braves
Princess Merida may be a force to reckon with when it comes to certain projectiles, but she won’t be proficient when it comes to baseballs or tomahawks if the Atlanta Braves have anything to say about it. While the recent news of Paramount Resources’ Pixar Petrolium is making a big splash, another significant war has been raging quietly on the trademark front — for months no less.
It all started back in March of last year when we reported on trademark applications which appeared to have been confirming a title change for what was then known as The Bear and the Bow, but is now known to be Brave.
Disney/Pixar’s ‘La Luna’ Shortlisted for Animated Short Oscar
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today announced that out of the 44 animated short films submitted for Oscar consideration, ten have been shortlisted to be further considered for nominations in the category. Among the ten selected is La Luna from Pixar Animation Studios, the short that will play before Brave when it opens next year. Pixar Animation Studios has quietly arranged for the short to show this year enough to meet eligibility requirements, meaning an Oscar nomination — let alone a win — will become a valuable marketing tool for Brave in 2012.
‘Brave’ Full-Length Trailer Released, Plus New Hi-Res Stills
A brand new trailer for Brave (formerly The Bear and the Bow) has been released today by Walt Disney Studios and Disney/Pixar.
The rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland serve as the backdrop for Brave, a new tale that joins the land’s ancient lore — stories of epic battles and mystical legends passed down for generations. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, Brave is the grand adventure of Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer who confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts to discover the true meaning of courage. The film also features the voices of Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane. Brave, full of heart, memorable characters and Pixar’s signature humor, takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
‘La Luna’ Director Enrico Casarosa Talks Filmmaking; Signed Poster Giveaway
This past Sunday, the Japan Society in New York City held a one-day animated short film festival titled ‘Films for Hope’ in order to benefit those affected by the devastating earthquake on March 11. The centerpiece of the festival was a joint presentation of Dai Soto’s Five Numbers and Disney/Pixar’s La Luna, which is the short that will open alongside Brave on June 22, 2012. A presentation and brief Q&A session with La Luna writer and director Enrico Casarosa was also offered following the screening.
‘Brave’ New Hi-Res Still Pits Merida Against Bear
Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Animation Studios have provided us with yet another still from their upcoming summer 2012 original fairytale, Brave. The new still, like the one before it, features Merida, this time coming up against what appears to be the once-title character of the Bear.
‘Brave’ Teaser Trailer Officially Released Online
Disney/Pixar has officially released the teaser trailer for its 2012 film, Brave, which is attached to digital projection screenings of Cars 2 3D.

‘Brave’ Bootlegger Posts ‘Brave’ Teaser Trailer on YouTube
If you can’t make it to a digital projection showing of Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2 anytime soon and if you happen to read this before someone from Disney’s legal department does, a moviegoer has opted to make a video recording of the Brave teaser trailer.
Despite the fact that the teaser trailer is in 3D and the camera is not and it appears that the bootlegger is about the size of a smurf, it’s not unwatchable from a quality perspective, but be forewarned that he’s no Jerry Seinfeld. It’s also worth noting that one Pixar animator has noted on Twitter that it will not be available online officially, so this may be your only opportunity for those that don’t wish to see Cars 2.
‘Brave’ New Hi-Res Still Provides Best Look at Merida Yet
In honor of the Brave teaser attached to digital projection versions of Cars 2 now in theaters, Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Animation Studios are presenting an official good first look at Merida, the heroine in their next film, Brave (formerly The Bear and the Bow). Although Entertainment Weekly is debuting the image in their latest issue, we have been very fortunate to acquire an online version of the image in glorious high resolution. We’re so happy to be able to share this image with you, in fact, that we are presenting it in the same resolution we received it, which is larger than what we typically share.
First Image: Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Heroine Merida
Here is what’s believed to be the first still from Disney/Pixar’s Brave (formerly titled The Bear and the Bow). Featuring the film’s heroine, Merida, the image appears to be directly related to concept art that was previously released.
