Brave/YMMV


 * Animation Age Ghetto: The creators have ensured many people that this will be a fairly gritty adventure tale starring a princess looking to change her fate. However...the trailers and television spots imply a much lighter, cruder comedy staring a princess who leaves to "prove" herself as opposed to merely seeking change. This implies a much sillier and "Dreamworks" style movie that blatantly ignores what the writers were probably going for. This is a running trend with most of Pixar's (and arguably all of Disney's) films where they dramatically downplay the edgier, more violent parts to emphasize the cruder, sillier moments. The entirety of the trailers might have very well employed most or all of the jokes in the entire film.
 * Broken Base: Some people are a bit miffed that Brenda Chapman got replaced. Also, some are skeptical of the girl-defying-tradition premise (that has been done to death) the trailer presents while others bear faith that Pixar will execute it nicely.
 * Especially since it looks like many of these cliches are in for a subversion or deconstruction.
 * The trailers are creating some opinions that Pixar's falling into Dreamworks' style of crude humor.
 * Fan Nickname: When the trailer first came out and the fans saw Merida's hair, the first reaction of some was immediately "River Song!"
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: As fanart has already pointed out, Brave will be the third movie this year to involve archery. The others are The Hunger Games (Katniss) and The Avengers (Hawkeye).
 * Squick: "Feast your eyes!" At least we don't actually see it, but is that much comfort...?
 * If you look in the background of that scene, you see three characters reacting to the sight; a small girl looks horrified and cries in her mother's skirt, the mother raises her eyebrows in surprise, and a boy tilts his head and stares blankly.
