  • Brand New Monsters University Trailers Emerge

    Brave is opening in theaters this Friday, which makes the timing right for Pixar to begin releasing trailers for its next project. This time they will be revisiting the world of Monsters Inc. for a prequel called Monsters University.

    In the original story to Monsters Inc., the monsters are depicted as having the job of scaring children into producing screams, which the mosters then use as energy. It is only natural that they would have to go to college to prepare for their careers.

    Pixar has released four “different” teaser trailers for the upcoming movie, but the only difference is the line that Mike (Billy Crystal) delivers while asleep. Since its not really worth watching all of them to get the one line, here are the other ones:
    “Homework ate my dog”,
    “Class President. Hahaha”
    “I can’t go to class, I’m not wearing any clothes.”

    Meh. This one is probably the funniest:

    Monsters University is set ten years before the original movie and will explain how Mike and Sully became best friends. John Goodman (Sullivan), Bily Crystal (Mike), and Steve Buscemi (Randall) are all set to return in their original roles. It will open in theaters June 21, 2013.

    Expect one of these trailers to be attached to a lot of Brave movies this Friday. Actually its safe to say that all of them will carry this trailer.

  • Temple Run Gets A “Brave” Makeover For iOS, Android

    Temple Run Gets A “Brave” Makeover For iOS, Android

    If you’ve paid very much attention to the world of iOS and Android gaming, you’ve probably heard of Temple Run. It’s an addictive little game wherein you help the main character – an Indiana Jones lookalike – escape from some evil skull-monkey creatures that he has angered.

    Though it appeals to players of all ages, the game is particularly popular with kids (full disclosure: my son has played it a lot more than I have). Disney, it seems, has caught onto the game’s popularity and struck a deal with the studio behind Temple Run – Imangi Studios – to create a new version of the game based on the upcoming Pixar movie Brave.

    In most respects Temple Run: Brave is identical to the original. You still spend your time running, jumping, and sliding as you try to get away from the monster chasing you. Only this time, instead of the would-be Indy, you’re playing as Merida, the main character of Brave. And since evil skull monkeys are rare in Scotland, you’ll be running from the large angry bear that serves as Brave‘s main villain. And you’ll also get the chance to try your hand with Merida’s bow. Certain sections of the game will present you with targets to shoot as you run, earning rewards. We’ll try not to think about why you can’t just turn and shoot the bear.

    Temple Run: Brave hits the iOS App Store and Google Play on June 14th. Check out the official trailer for the game below:

    And for good measure, here’s a trailer for Brave, which arrives in theaters on June 22nd.

  • Pixar Is Making A Day Of The Dead Movie

    Pixar Is Making A Day Of The Dead Movie

    Disney Pixar has just revealed the setting of an upcoming film, and it’s pretty exciting. First announced at Disney’s CinemaCon and later confirmed on Twitter, Pixar is planning their next full length feature to revolve around The Day of the Dead.

    No, not the George Romero zombie flick (although possibly just as awesome), but Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican holiday that is celebrated in connection with All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day in November.

    Here’s Pixar with the announcement on Twitter:

    And here’s another confirmation from director Lee Unkrich, who helmed the amazing Toy Story 3:

    So excited to finally reveal my next movie at Pixar: a story set in the world of the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos.(image) 12 hours ago via Tweetbot for iOS ·  Reply ·  Retweet ·  Favorite · powered by @socialditto

    So, that sounds incredible, right? Well, as long as they get it right – something that some people are already worried about. One Twitter user asks “please do your best to get it right, don’t fall into the stupid stereotypes every American associates with us (I’m Mexican). Another says, “Let’s hope they get their facts right about this wonderful celebration.”

    Contrary to what some believe, Dia de los Muertos is not the Mexican version of Halloween, although the two are very close on the calendar. Dia de los Muertos is all about the remembrance of loved ones who have died, and versions of it are celebrated all over the world. Some associate the holiday with frightening imagery – devils, ghosts, etc. But that doesn’t come into play during Dia de los Muertos. For many Mexicans it is a happy day, a time to honor deceased loved ones and celebrate love, not death itself.

    But there are tons of amazing colors and objects associated with the celebration, and this should make for a pretty awesome backdrop for a Pixar film.

    Pixar’s newest film, Brave will hit theaters on June 22nd. In lieu of a trailer for the just-announced Dia de los Muertos picture, here’s a look at the newest trailer for that film:

    The next one after Brave will be called The Good Dinosaur and will be released in 2013. The untitled Dia de los Muertos project is looking at a 2015-16 release.

  • Pixar’s Brave: New Trailer, Clip Arrive Online

    Pixar’s Brave: New Trailer, Clip Arrive Online

    After the critical debacle that was directors John Lasseter and Brad Lewis’ impossibly misguided sequel “Cars 2”, it’s good to know that Pixar is headed back to the well of originality for their next endeavor. Not that there’s anything wrong with the studio mining its past glories for future accolades, mind you. However, if they end up as drab and lifeless as the aforementioned follow-up to their 2006 box-office smash, they’re probably going to lose my business. I don’t expect them to care about this, of course, but I thought I’d just put it out there.

    In order to prepare movie-goers for Pixar’s upcoming adventure “Brave”, another trailer, as well as a nifty new clip, have found their way online. Personally, I think the movie looks remarkably cool, and, chances are, I’ll actually take in a screening when it arrives in theaters this summer. It will have to be a matinee, because sitting in a theater filled with snotty children and their inattentive parents will likely cause yours truly to have some sort of cinema-related aneurysm.

    From the Google+Reader”>official synopsis:

    Set in the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland, Disney•Pixar’s “Brave” follows the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus andQueen Elinor. Determined to change her fate, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall, unleashing chaos in the kingdom. When she turns to an eccentric Witch, she is granted an ill-fated wish and the ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her resources—including her mischievous triplet brothers—to undo a beastly curse and discover the meaning of true bravery.

    Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, “Brave” features the voice talents of Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Robbie Coltrane, Kevin McKidd, and Craig Ferguson. The film is expected to bow in North American theaters on June 22nd, 2012. The trailer, as well as the latest clip, reside below.
