druv10 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I loved Brave plus Pixar looks to have righted the track after Cars 2. Second half's extremely powerful for Brave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well, now everyone gets to say "I told you so" http://www.pixarportal.com/blog.php?id=brenda-chapman-leaves-pixar-for-lucasfilm I still don't think this means that she loathes Pixar with every fiber of her being as every blogger who hated Brave will inevitably frame it.

BK007 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 WALL-E | BRAVE 04.664 | 09.206 ARGENTINA 14.165 | 16.789 AUSTRALIA 04.282 | 00.929 BELGIUM 00.220 | 00.267 BOLIVIA 06.304 | 11.618 BRAZIL 03.313 | 03.071 CHILE 00.000 | 04.675 CHINA 02.682 | 02.299 COLOMBIA 00.501 | 00.407 INDIA 00.902 | 01.442 INDONESIA 01.911 | 00.794 ISRAEL 44.005 | 05.224 JAPAN 01.178 | 01.380 MALAYSIA 17.680 | 11.663 MEXICO 04.267 | 00.794 NETHERLANDS 01.889 | 02.298 NEW ZEALAND 00.008 | 00.044 NIGERIA 01.379 | 01.446 PERU 11.694 | 15.757 RUSSIA 01.224 | 01.159 UKRAINE 122.268 | 091.658 TOTAL I'm using WALL-E for the comparison. This film made 297.5 M overseas. It's a good barometer whether BRAVE is going to pass 300 M or not. WALL-E won 9 markets. BRAVE has won 11 so far. Did it just open in Netherlands and Belgium? Horrendous totals, if true. Also tear jerker moments, Jack Nevada nailed them, but Brave's finale got me. I wasn't expecting it to but it sure did.

In my mind she's left long ago. I don't know now if her being there til the end would have made the movie any better to be honest, now that I've seen it. All I know was that it took place in winter in Chapman's version. Have you guys been discussing it? I've avoided this thread for the most part.

forg Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Finally saw it, loved the movie. I like the fact the princess here does not have a love interest and there's no "actual" villain for a change! And the soundtrack was good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shayhiri Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Finally something worth seeing (multiple times) on the big screen - after the splendid Ratatouille, of course. Finally something different. Wish they could make more period movies instead of churning out lesser sequels to wacky tales that weren't special even the first time around. Oh, and just to give a perspective: The Good old days: 1. Toy Story: Fresh for its time 2. A Bug's Life: Nice fantasy adventure 3. Toy Story 2: Somehow redundant, but still good 4. Monsters, Inc.: Quite funny and gripping The Overrated middle years: 5. Finding Nemo: Nothing special, fish are boring 6. The Incredibles: Nice characterization, but superheroes are extremely cliche 7. Cars: Very bad idea from the start, bad Pixar, bad! The Quest for originality: 8. Ratatouille: Brilliant, beautiful, funny Which soon turns wrong: 9. Wall-E: Boring and pointless 10. Up: flawed; ONE good idea can NOT support a whole movie So Pixar spits on its name and turns to shameless sequels: 11. Toy Story 3: Totally redundant and repetitive 12. Cars 2: This is NOT Pixar, I've never seen such a sell-out, Straight-to-DVD A return to beauty - in story and form - hope it won't be short lived like Ratatouille was: 13. Brave: beautiful, funny, touching, meaningful But it probably will be drowned again by shameless sequels: 14. Monsters, Inc. (2013), Finding Nemo 2 (2016) Hope at least the dinosaur movie is good... 15. The Good Dinosaur (2014), Inside the Mind (2015), Día de los Muertos(2017) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem2x3 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't get how someone says what Pixar is or isn't and their authority is derived from their love of Pixar's 8th and 13th movies (both of which are on the lower half of Pixar's films BO-wise) Different taste, I guess -- although when Rat is mentioned as the best, and FN one of the worst, i've typically noticed it's by fans who don't have kids (not saying if that is true of the above poster...).

BK007 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 What does the BO gross have to do with anything... I was trying to find a place to discuss Brave since I watched it but the forums went down. The people on Upcoming Pixar are real jokers defending Cars 2 and claiming you must not be a fan if you dislike that movie. Jesus Christ are some people stupid, shallow and immature.

Rudolf Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Cars2 was 22% down on Cars1 if Brave were 22% down on Up (last orignal Pixar), it would end with 230m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 .I wanted to punch Merida in the face the entire movie and see her bleed ... The mid part twist made me scream WTF, it was not even funny !!!!! MOst predictable Pixar script ever ! Visually stunning, gorgeous. Why do I smell Dreamwork Animation all over this ?

Jack Nevada Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I should probably watch Ratatouille again, haven't seen it since it came out. I dont remember too much about it except that I wasnt very impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Why do I smell Dreamwork Animation all over this ? This is becoming a real pet peeve of mine. It says absolutely nothing about the movie, just a quick way of making it sound "bad". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) 1. Ratatouille 2. Toy Story 3 3. Brave 4. The Incredible 5. Toy Story 6. Up 7. Toy Story 2 8. Wall-e 9. A Bug's Life 10.

BK007 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 This is becoming a real pet peeve of mine. It says absolutely nothing about the movie, just a quick way of making it sound "bad". Plus, it doesn't feel like Dreamworks at all. It wasn't very Pixar, but neither was it Disney or Dreamworks and I don't think that's a bad thing at all. Anyway, list time! 1. Ratatouille 2. Toy Story 3 2. Finding Nemo 2. The Incredibles 5. Monsters Inc. 6. Brave 7. Wall-E 8. Toy Story 2 9. Cars 10. Up 11. Toy Story 12. A Bug's Life NR Cars 2 Either than the top 4 and Cars 2, the rest need to be rewatched since I haven't watched any of them in years and of course Brave needs a rewatch.

The people on Upcoming Pixar are real jokers defending Cars 2 and claiming you must not be a fan if you dislike that movie. Jesus Christ are some people stupid, shallow and immature. Can I ask, did you initiate Cars 2 bashing or did they? Cus... if you went to a Pixar Fan Club forum and started bashing a Pixar movie, well...I guess I could see why they would respond poorly? Your obsession with hating Cars 2 could also be seen as shallow and/or immature. If you want to discuss Brave, discuss--I don't think we're in short supply here. Plus, it doesn't feel like Dreamworks at all. It wasn't very Pixar, but neither was it Disney or Dreamworks and I don't think that's a bad thing at all. I agree with that a lot actually.
