Two new sneak peeks at Pixar's latest film have been released this week. Check them out below!
This first one shows a conversation between Queen Elinor and King Fergus, as he gives her his finest advice on how to speak to Merida. He even does a quite entertaining impression of his teenage daughter. I especially love Elinor's face at the very end; priceless.
This second clip introduces the sons of the three Lords to us, as they are presented to the royal family of DunBroch. Each of the clans get their moment, and may very likely make you chuckle.
Tomorrow is already June, which means there are only 22 days left until Brave finally makes its way into North American theaters!!!
This is it, folks. The moment we've all been waiting for. This holiday season, you'll be able to own ALL of Pixar's beloved films, from Toy Story to Brave, in glorious high-definition! Andrew Stanton's classic Finding Nemo, the only film from the studio that hasn't already hit the Blu-ray format, is set to arrive in Blu on December 4 this year.
A Blu-ray 3D version will also be released, considering the film is also having its theatrical 3D re-release this year. Other than finally being to enjoy the classic tale is beautiful HD, there's really not much to expect from this release, although there is a chance we may see some new bonus features. If no new material is added however, I won't be too disappointed; the original DVD release from 2003 already had as many special features as there are fish in the sea.
What I find a bit odd is how this is apparently being released in early December rather than early November. Pixar's films normally hit home video during the first few days of November, and are usually accompanied by some other Pixar release. Toy Story 3 arrived on DVD and Blu-ray the same day that the Cars Toons collection did, Monsters, Inc. made its Blu-ray debut alongside Up, and so forth. The Pixar Short Films Collection - Volume 2 will surely come on the same day as Brave this year, in early November. Maybe Pixar just wanted us to have something to look forward to in the month of December too?
In case you missed it, here is the trailer that was released in October for the Blu-ray release of Nemo:
The marketing for Brave has been going crazy lately, and a lot of cool vids have been released. In case you missed any of it, here's what's new:
A TV spot entitled "One Family" was released, and later an extended version of it followed. In the first one, I'm pretty sure the guard announcing Merida's arrival is John Ratzenberger! We also get to hear the voices of Lords MacGuffin and Macintosh for the first time, which is quite exciting as well. Oh, and don't miss Young MacGuffin and his incomprehensible Scottish accent. I found that quite amusing.
Some awesome featurettes have also met the light of day lately. They won't be in the finished film, but they give us spectacular insights into the characters and their relationships with one another.
Lastly, here is another spoof featurette mocking popular television ads, like the "Kilt" one we saw a while ago. This one is an ad for the new album "Freedom Broch". Some of the titles for the songs are simply hilarious.
June 22 gets closer by the minute, and the anticipation just keeps building...
Pixar has released the first full-length trailer for their 3D re-release of Finding Nemo, set to arrive in theaters in September later this year. Sometimes, I just don't see the point in all the 3D re-releases that seem to be taking place lately, but Nemo is a total exception. Can you imagine seeing that gorgeous underwater landscape in the third-dimension? I have high hopes for Nemo 3D, so this new trailer greatly excites me.
A German flyer showcasing the new shorts collection
I recently wrote an article about when we'd see Pixar's short, Small Fry (which was released in theaters in November 2011 with Disney's The Muppets) on home video. My top prediction had been that the short would apper on the Brave Blu-ray and DVD, but I had talked about the possibility of the short showing up on a Pixar Short Films Collection - Volume 2.
Pixar Talk tells us how this second bundle of Pixar shorts is set to arrive in November; very likely on the same day Brave will hit the home video format. Small Fry will surely be on this collection, and you can also expect it to have all Pixar shorts starting at Your Friend the Rat (2007) all the way to La Luna (2011), which will also be premiering on home video for the first time alongside Small Fry.
So you can mark your calendars and start looking forward to November!
