Read an interesting article a while back about how accurate their depictions of archery were, and another one commenting on the accents and clothing choices and how they’re based on linguistics research and illuminated manuscripts respectively, and those are piquing my curiosity.
I *already *wanted to see it since I saw the first trailer a long while ago, because it reminds me a little of The Secret of Kells, which I quite enjoyed, and also it’s the first Pixar to have a female lead, and since Disney has declared itself somewhat anti-female-movies recently, I feel like I have to go fly the girl flag for Pixar.
(I like explosions, don’t get me wrong, I even went to see (and liked) John Carter, but damn, Disney - princess movies and girls and women are a practically guaranteed pairing, and not a bad market segment - whyfor do you shun us?)
