If there was one reason I'd go to check out Cars 2 this Friday, it would probably be to check out the sneak peek for Pixar's next big effort, 'Brave.' Afterwards I'd probably walk out in a hurry, before experiencing severe disappointment at their completely phoned in, merchandise and ad spam attempt of a sequel to an already forgettable (Don't even get me started about Disney's Planes spinoff) movie. I'll just act like that flop never happened.
Anyways, this new movie seems to be quite a departure for Pixar, tackling darker themes. In a nutshell, Princess Merida sets out to undo the turmoil she brings onto her Kingdom after defying a sacred custom. She is also accompanied by three lords of the kingdom, which makes it seem like Pixar might be paying tribute to the Wizard Of Oz. Its a pretty refreshing departure from the body of work that Pixar has put out so far, lets just hope this doesn't turn into their Black Cauldron. Brave will be released in summer 2012.
