Ladies and Gentlemen, whether you like it or not, the Pixar Playlist
It’s unlucky for some,
it’s number 13 and we look at Brave
Brave was Pixar’s first
attempt at a fairy tale, and the brainchild of Brenda Chapman. Chapman had been
working creative roles at Pixar since Cars, and had worked at Dreamworks prior
to that. She had been directing the film but after creative disagreements with
John Lasseter, she was replaced mid-production by Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews had
directed 2 short films and was a second-unit director on John Carter, making
him an odd choice for a replacement but then John Lasseter had some serious
issues with women.
Usually I’d talk about some pioneering animation that really helped Pixar stand out, but I have nothing. This film had a $185m budget and made $540m at the box office. The film stands as reasonably popular with a 78% Rotten Tomatoes rating but where do I rank it, let’s take a look.
