Seems that Disney has been in a re-naming frenzy and the tipoff comes from a flurry of recent website and Trademark registrations to do the confirming for us instead of asking those untrustworthy marketing PR folk!
Seems that The Bear and the Bow will be retitled as Brave.
On March 12, 2010, Disney Enterprises, Inc. filed to protect the trademark Disney Pixar Brave in relation to “entertainment and education services” as well as a variety of other products and services, including:
Disney Pixar Brave – clothing, footwear and headwear
Disney Pixar Brave – toys, games and playthings
Disney Pixar Brave – audio recordings; video recordingsBack on May 24, 2009, based on a comment by Pixar director Pete Docter, iFilm speculated that “Brave” could be the revised name for the Disney Pixar project “The Bear and the Bow” currently in development.
And recently it was speculated that Disney would be renaming Rapunzel “Tangled” to give the girly fairytale some gender neutral appeal.
But renaming The Bear and the Bow to “Brave” just looks like they are making it a little more attention deficit friendly or more off-the-cuff marketable.
just wonderin’ thats all-thanks for clarity
sorry, it’s actually the Kirby’s not the Ditko’s
These name changes just scream Marketing and have nothing to do with copyrights.
The Kirby Lawsuits have nothing to do with this. They have nothing to do with Disney films, and the Disney films in question have nothing to do with any Marvel Property.
After the recent reported lawsuits from Ditko’s family claiming some Marvel character rights , You think its a copyright thing?
next thing you know they’ll call Hulk “The Green Guy or somethin”
just wonderin’
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Why does this sound like a rumor that will be squashed?
hehe.
