Studio Ghibli really should not be on here, but whatever.

I apologize in advance if there’s anyone following me who’s actually excited about the movie, because this is very much going to be a raining on your parade post. But I really need to get this out in a way other than the initial “NOOOOOOOOOOO” that I did on plurk.
I’ll cut it for anyone who wants to skip over it, but I just need to… ramble. Vent, I guess.
Honestly, I think these are all very legitimate things to be upset about. Hollywood and media entertainment in general have a tendency to just pick a culture and impose their own storyline on it, regardless of fit or appropriateness. The opposite, I suppose, is characters/stories that are limited or pigeonholed by the culture they attempt to use, which is another story entirely, but the fact that it is almost always either one or the other is really, really sad. If you’ve got such a rich cultural background and history to draw from, use it—otherwise, don’t just treat it like a gimmick, which is, unfortunately, what Brave seems to be doing.
I’m usually very impressed with Pixar, and I consider their work to be really great pieces of storytelling. But if the first time we’re getting a female protagonist out of them is a story that seems so rehashed, and arguments we’ve already gotten out of Disney princesses eight different ways, then I’m going to be considerably disappointed in them. Obviously the theme of a strong female character breaking out of whatever gendered expectations are imposed on her and going her own way is a good, strong message, but you have to wonder—is it the only way to show a strong female character? Strength and complexity of character can be fostered many, many different ways, and it’d be interesting to see someone explore that, for once.
Obviously I say all this with the caveat that it is just the trailer, and you can’t predict everything from it. But cultural appropriation and rehashed gender-stereotype bashing are nothing really new, and that in and of itself is something worth remarking on. So, yeah—I don’t think you’ve off-base at all in feeling the way you do, especially since it’s something you have a close personal attachment to. Heaven knows how many feelings I get about things that utilize parts of my own heritage and culture.
I think that Brave could still end up being a really fun, emotionally fulfilling movie. It just sucks that they didn’t try to spin the story another way, especially given the cultural basis they’ve used.

Eehehehe.
First Look of the Day: Courtesy of Disney Pixar France comes the first non-concept-art look at Princess Merida, the female protagonist of Pixar’s 13th feature-length film Brave — the first Pixar film to feature a female lead (Kelly Macdonald), and the first to be co-directed by a woman (Brenda Chapman).
Brave, which is set “in the mystical Scottish Highlands,” also features the vocal talents of Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Craig Ferguson, Kevin McKidd, and Robbie Coltrane.
A release date has been set for June 22, 2012.
