Brave is up for Best Animated Feature Film of the Year at the Academy Awards tomorrow night and to celebrate, Disney decided to get silly. They asked a few of their Disney Interactive employees to attempt Merida’s Scottish accent. I think you can guess how that went.

8 Romanceless Movies and TV Shows to Watch on Valentine’s Day

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:28 pm, February 13th, 2013

Depending on whom you ask, tomorrow might be Valentine’s Day, Singles Awareness Day, or Day-Before-Discount-Candy-At-Duane-Reade Day. Like it or not, romance is a big deal tomorrow, at least if you’re in the States. And to, er, celebrate, I decided to write about movies and TV shows that don’t have any romance. Sadly, there aren’t as many of them as you might think.

Luján Fernández Draws Strong Women Of Pop-Culture

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:30 pm, February 10th, 2013

I was happy to stumble upon artist Luján Fernández. She has a great collection of drawings featuring many of my favorite pop-culture characters including the women of Game of Thrones, comics, and Disney! Check out our selection here which also features Adventure Time and Dredd, and see more at her Deviant Art page.

Wreck-It Ralph Gets Its Medal, Wins Big at the Annie Awards

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:55 pm, February 3rd, 2013

Wreck-It Ralph was the King (Candy) at last night’s Annie Awards, beating out Brave and ParaNorman for Best Animated Feature. It was nominated alongside Hotel Transylvania, Frankenweenie, Rise of the Guardians, The Pirates! Band of Misfits, and The Rabbi’s Cat too, but honestly, did any of those have a chance? Actually, speaking realistically ParaNorman was a long shot as well, but I really (really really really… ) wanted it to win and may have deluded myself as to its chances a little.

Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Beasts of the Southern Wild Pick Up Oscar Nominations

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:09 am, January 10th, 2013

I’m feeling kind of chipper and awake this morning, and I think it’s because the Oscar nominations were announced. As much as I believe they’re just a meaningless mutual appreciation society for Hollywood types, every year around this time I get unspeakably excited about them. I think the Academy might be beaming radio signals into my head or something.

Silhouettes Of Pop-Culture Duos Stare Each Other Down

by Jill Pantozzi | 10:17 am, December 20th, 2012

Artist Isabel Talsma has a way with silhouettes but something special happens when two figures from a particular story are squared against each other. Some are enemies, some friends, while some love each other a great deal. See who else she’s paired up.

One of Lego’s New Minifigs is a “Forest Maiden.” Sure, Lego. Sure.

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:25 am, December 5th, 2012

Good job on that, uh, “Forest Maiden”‘s hair, Lego. It’s actually really impressive given it’s made out of molded plastic.

A few of our other favorites—Roller Derby Girl, ~~albino Cylon~~ Battle Mech, ~~Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde~~ Mr. Good and Evil, and a ~~Marilyn Monroe~~ Hollywood Starlet minifig holding a mini-minifig-sized Oscar (be still my beating heart)—are behind the jump.

This Brave Cake Was A Lot Easier For Merida To Climb Than That Mountain

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:21 pm, November 23rd, 2012

But what’s harder than animating more than 100,000 strands of hair? Recreating that effect with fondant. Click ahead for a close-up.

Sibling Rivalry Abounds in This Preview Clip from Pixar Short The Legend of Mor’du [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:25 am, November 21st, 2012

We’ll have to wait until Brave‘s DVD/Blu-ray release on November 26th to see in full the new Pixar short The Legend of Mor’du, which explores the backstory of Brave‘s deadly bear. But this quick preview gives us a good idea of the look of the film, which more resembles a storybook than the slick animation of the feature on which it is based. What do you think?
