As for the last comparison, To Train Your Dragon would have been in production before The Bear and the Bow, considering the fact that it's going to be released this Spring, unless this Pixar film has been in the making for a very long time already.

I think these Pixar Executives (whoever they are) are simply being paranoid and jealous. According to the time-frame all these films by DreamsWorks were either concieved and developed during the same period as these Pixar films or even beforehand. Sounds to me to like they're just upset because they're not the only Animated Studio bringing in the big bucks.

I'm not saying necessarily that Pixar are the ones that are causing this similarity at all, in my eyes Dreamworks have always been the ones who've tried to follow trend (Jeffrey Katzenberg used to be at Disney?) and largely failed, with the exception of their Monster Vs. Monster, Shrek Vs Monsters Inc!

Like a few of you this is the first time that I am hearing anything about this movie. Pixar hasn't really let me down in the past and this is bound to be just as good. The story sounds pretty original and I love some of the actors you are proving their voice talents for this film. Reese Witherspoon is one of my favourite actresses and find that her voice would be good for a spunky, funny character.

I hadn't heard anything about this until I read this thread.
Dumb question, if it's about a princess...why is the title mention a bear?

In the summary I read on Wikipedia it talks about a curse, maybe she becomes a bear? Although that would be very similar to brother bear. Or if she wants to be an archer than she could become friends with a bear? Or maybe the curse that her love interest is a bear and then in the end when the curse is lifted the bear is human again. Or something. I'm just throwing out ideas.

Pixar won't revel the meaning behind the title as it that would require some major spoilers. Looks as though we're left to assume and sprout ideas until more is given for the summery. Those are good predictions SpellWoven, but knowing Pixar they'll probably think of something daring and surprising. Something the average filmmaker usually wouldn't concieve and write.

This is the first time I've heard of this movie. I'm actually looking foward to it! It's nice to see Pixar doing a fary-tale theme movie for a change.

This film sounds really good especially because of Reese & Emma Thompson being involved. I will automatically go see it now.

What's with all the title changes? What was wrong with the original idea? This title feels flat where as "The Bear and Bow" offered some enthusiasim and curiosity. Oh well, hopefully the story is in the same caliber as Up and brings Pixar back to it's roots. I want the Pixar I fell in love with and respected as a film company. Please bring original and touching material back to the silver-screen!

I suspect the title changes are tied into the fact that Disney apparently believes that male audiences don't like movies featuring princesses. It would appear that they're trying to hide the princess aspect of it.

Still, Brave? How unoriginal is that. It doesn't sound like a film I would like to see unless I would have already know the story.

BRP- That doesn't make any sense. The orginal title didn't indicate anything about it being a princeess film. In fact children (whether girls or boys) don't generally read about upcoming films plots. So how would they know? They watch the trailers. This will be an adventure/comedy anyway. So what does it matter if it has a leading character whose a female. Based on the description given so far, I think children reagardless will take a liking to it. Maybe if the Disney executives ever bothered to read reviews and comments from it's audience, they would realize their lack of finacial success isn't due to princess themes. It's their quality! And it was like that before they even went back to writing Fariy-Tales.
I agree with you SpellWoven. I could name hundreds of films that represented this theme. It's simply dull and holds no creative spirit. The title "The Bear and the Bow" had some mystery as how the plot would projected. These title changes and their reasons for it are flat-out rediculous!
