With Fanart, as the Imageshack Situation as pretty much rendered me incapable of posting new things from my computer for the time being.
Merida is my new favourite Disney/Pixar character!
Though her bursting her dress to show off her muscles is going to get SOOOO much of the wrong kind of fanart.
Speaking of Fanart!

... sort of on and also off topic, but if Disney ever wants to go with an LGBT princess, they could go for Fet Fruners. One of my greatest wishes is for a movie of that story.

Date: 2012-02-24 05:28 am (UTC)Cars 2, in NO shape or form, can be said to have a more epic or well-crafted story than either How to Train your Dragon or Kung Fu Panda 2.

Date: 2012-02-24 07:50 am (UTC)To refresh my memory and make sure I was not biased by my uncertain memory I looked up the last five years of movies from them.
Disney:
Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh
Pixar:
Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, Cars 2
Dreamworks:
Over the Hedge, Flushed Away, Shrek the Third, Bee Movie, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Monsters vs Aliens, How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek Forever After, Megamind, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots
I suspect you are right about Cars 2 having weak storytelling, though I have not seen it and I doubt I will ever bother watching it. However I think there is not a trend line there, yet. As my old math teacher said, "Two points to make a line, three to check yourself, and four because Saxon (the text book writer) is a wienie."
On the specific issue of GLBT characters, I doubt any of these companies will go there in the next decade. Someone will before I die in 2049, provided I live to the statistically average age for someone of my gender, but nothing soon. And the going there will be of the fairly mild gay/lesbian/transgendered/implied different best friend of the protagonist.

Date: 2012-02-24 07:56 pm (UTC)i would because disney's animated princess movies usually have a romantic subplot. if it was only about acknowledging a girl or a boy is queer, i could see it. but a lesbian or gay love story as the main romantic subplot? in a princess movie? i'll be surprised, yes.

Date: 2012-02-23 07:44 pm (UTC)Oh, and regarding the "Brave" trailer - I like how her it's her father that seems totally cool with his daughter's need to buck tradition, while her mother is heavily against it. It's a nice deviation from the norm.

Date: 2012-02-23 09:43 pm (UTC)So you have, for example, Jasmine's dad trying to get her to get married as it's Tradition, there's Ariel's dad trying to stop her fangirling on the surface world because it's weird, Mufasa enforcing an ecosystem that apparently had no place for scavengers, etc. etc.
Generally the only deviations are when the parents kind of deviated from the norm too, like Belle's dad, Mulan's (curiously whole and multigenerational) family all being much less strict that the other ruling families in the story, Hercules' parents being gods etc.

Date: 2012-02-23 10:03 pm (UTC)I was thinking of the fact that tomboys / girls who defy gender roles tend to be shown as Daddy's girl in general in most stories.

Date: 2012-02-23 10:30 pm (UTC)Actually, with the rips her dress reminded me of Susan Pevensie's green dress in the first "Chronicles of Narnia" movie. Is there a fashion reason or an archery reason that those sort of dresses were designed, anyone know?

Date: 2012-02-24 09:53 am (UTC)They seem to have gone for actual Scottish people to voice the characters in this movie (though, obviously, their accents are probably all over the place geopgraphically speaking), which I think was actually neat, particularly since they were originally planning to get Reese Witherspoon in for the lead role before going with the Scottish actress from Broadwalk Empire who plays an Irish lady.
They could easily have gone the Mike Myer's fake Scot-route is all I'm saying.
I have heard people asking, presumably due to the... odd casting decision in How to Train Your Dragon, why a movie based in Scotland has so many Vikings in it, but they're stupid so I'm ignoring them.
