The first full-length trailer for Pixar’s Brave is finally here! The movie, heading our way in June 2012, doesn’t feature your average princess. Redheaded Merida is rough and tumble and tired of castle life. It’s obvious from the trailer that she’s action-oriented; for example, she’s not afraid to hunt bears. Other than showing off Merida’s archery skills, the trailer jumps between gags and emphasizing the kinds of traditions Merida is facing. Even though it doesn’t feel cohesive, it looks like it will be a blast.
Watch the trailer after the break.

It’s only natural that a sculpture of the Wall-E is made of trash. Kreatworks used old machine and car parts to build this 4′ tall version of the Pixar robot. You won’t be making any field trips to the junkyard with him though—the sculpture weighs in at 150lbs. However, he’ll happily stand guard in your garage or house if you have a spare $2,800 to burn.

Comic book and pop culture fans aren’t the only ones who get conventions. There is a convention for darn near everything, and Disney is no exception. D23 is a club for Disney fans that was launched in 2009. The first D23 expo was held that year, and the second expo took place over last weekend. The line-up included panels, autograph signings, presentations, and a Dick Van Dyke concert. I’m not kidding. Just like San Diego Comic-Con, a day of the convention (Saturday) even sold out. Disney came armed with news from all corners of their vast kingdom, including Pixar, ABC, and Marvel. [click to continue…]

Pixar’s got the right idea with that whole digital animation thing. Lego would just take forever.

You are probably already familiar with the plug and play line of TV games, but this new version allows you to take control with a little Wall-E robot replica. Apparently, it is loaded up with four games—but the titles and plots of those games remain a mystery. Probably doesn’t matter all that much though. It could play ET and Aquaman and people would still buy it.
