Wow, look at those cheekbones! Her name (model for the Chief) sounds Korean. Is the animation in AtLA done in Korea? More reason to watch, I guess! (I've already heard about the moral complexities and awesome character arcs.)
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Her name (model for the Chief) sounds Korean.
Yeah, she's their animation manager in Korea. She da boss.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Vonnie, I suspect you will love Toph. But you have to get to season 2 for that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Feh. Brave was a huge disappointment. The characters are all so flat. The scenery is gorgeous and the plot could have turned into something interesting, but apparently the writers were so impressed that their main character was A GIRL that they didn't realize female protagonists need layers too.
And I know Pixar can do better. This is the studio who brought us Cowgirl Jesse, and Dory, and EVE. Hell, Ellie in the first 20 minutes of Up had more personality than everyone in Brave put together.
(Also, do not take young kids to see this. The trailers don't give away what the actual plot is, but suffice to say it was fucking terrifying to my five year-old, who spent the entire screening in my lap hiding his face. It's not "girl runs into the forest to be a tomboy and finds her destiny" AT ALL.)

Seriously? Woe. We will be hard-pressed not to take the kids to it; they both know a new Pixar is coming out and have seen previews.

Because books.
Yeah, Sara really wants to see it. I want to pretend you didn't post that and say "LA LA LA" but at least I can be prepared to be disappointed this way.
