Disney/Pixar has just offered news on several projects at CinemaCon presentation:
• Initial reported last August, the future Bob Peterson dinosaur movie now has the title The Good Dinosaur and will be launched on May 30, 2014. The movie is detailed as follows:
What if the cataclysmic asteroid that permanently modified life on Earth in fact missed the planet entirely and giant dinosaurs never became vanished? This humorous, genuine and original story is directed by Bob Peterson (co-director/writer, “Up;” writer, “Finding Nemo”) and produced by John Walker (“The Incredibles,” “The Iron Giant”).
• Oscar-winning Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich\'s forthcoming project with producer Darla Anderson will cover the holiday of Dia de los Muertos.
From director Lee Unkrich and producer Darla K. Anderson, the film making team at the rear of the Academy Award®-winning \"Toy Story 3,\" comes a completely original Pixar Animation Studios movie that goes into the vivid holiday of Día de los Muertos.
• The still-untitled Pete Docter movie that takes you inside the mind has been sent from May 30, 2014 to June 19, 2015, and they\'re still attempting to decide a title for that one. It\'s describes as follows:
Pixar takes audiences on amazing journeys into extraordinary worlds: from the darkest depths of the ocean to the top of the tepui mountains in South America; from the fictional metropolis of Monstropolis to a futuristic fantasy of outer space. From director Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and producer Jonas Rivera (“Up”), the inventive new movie will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind.
Disney France launched this new trailer for the approaching Pixar feature Brave (or Rebelle as it will be named there) getting a look at the film's main character, Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald.
Merida is a talented archer who faces tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts to find the true meaning of courage. Together with Macdonald are Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane.
Brave is a maverick among Pixar’s cartoon collection. As the studio’s 13th feature, it signifies the first time a Pixar picture has appeared a female central figure. Brave‘s also the animation powerhouse’s first fairy tale, its first film placed far in past times (Scotland circa 10th century), and represents a step into somewhat darker and creepier territory. “It’s properly scary, as much as it requires to be to tell the story effectively,” affirms Mark Andrews, who shares directing credit with Brenda Chapman. “But it’s not extremely horrific or terrifying — we’re not going for a PG-13 rating. You’re in good hands with a Pixar movie, as always.”
Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald)
Merida just happens to be, by default, in the society of a princess. She’s attempting to overcome this difference between how the world wants her to be, and how she sees herself. Eventually, she’s going to have to look inside herself, and what she discovers in the mirror isn't precisely what she anticipated.
King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson)
Merida’s father, King Fergus, is the appointed ruler of the DunBroch kingdom. He is the Bear King — this big, boisterous monarch who’s full of life.
Compared with Fergus, Queen Elinor is focused and composed. She actually runs the kingdom. She’s the smart politico — diplomatic, refined, elegant. Elinor has big plans for Merida, since she’s the next in line.
Lords Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), and Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane) from left to right
Merida is predicted to marry the first-born son of Lord Macintosh, Lord MacGuffin, or Lord Dingwall. He’s not trusting and paranoid about everything. He’s always thinking that somebody’s trying to get the better of him. And he’s got his eyes on you, with those big, googly eyes. Macintosh is also having blue woad dye on his skin. It’s part of that Celtic culture that gives you protection from sword blades in battle, or strength to meet your foe.
The hulking blond guy is Lord MacGuffin. He is the steadfast, true one. He’s a rock, though he can be bawdy in his own right.
And next to him is Dingwall, the lout of the trio. He’s the oldest member of the clans. He’s been in the most battles, as you can see by his fused neck and spine. He’s done it all, seen it all, and he will call it as it is.
Hamish, Hubert, and Harris
Merida’s younger triplet brothers are called Hamish, Hubert, and Harris. They love sweets and are always getting into trouble. And they can do no wrong as far as Fergus and Elinor are concerned.
Walt Disney Pictures has came out this new clip from La Luna, the new Pixar short that will perform in cinemas with Brave on June 22nd. Enrico Casarosa makes his directorial debut on the short, which features music by Michael Giacchino.
La Luna is the amazing fairy tale of a young boy who is coming of age in the most unusual of situations. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they paddled far away to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait. A big surprise is waiting for the little boy as he understands his family's most unusual line of work.
