Bows and Arrows

Jennifer Lawrence isn't the only woman who knows how to stretch a bow string ...

Diz Co. has released a cluster of new Brave posters.

Looks nice. But with 3 directors on the film, it ought to!

Careful where you aim that thing, Missy.

That doesn't necessarily follow.

Why would having more directors make a film more likely to be a better film ?

There have certainly been some successful animated films which had two or more directors (many of the older Disney features credited 3 "Sequence Directors" who would have reported directly to Walt Disney who had a sort of hybrid creative-producer/director role) but to suggest that more cooks stirring the broth necessarily will lead to a better final product isn't true . It could also be an indication of a troubled production wracked with indecision and creative disagreement between the original director and the studio . (examples: Kingdom in the Sun/Emperor's New Groove, Ratatouille , Tangled , and now apparently Brave joins that list) But there have been troubled productions with multiple directors that turned into classic motion pictures because one way or another everything came together in the end despite the different guiding hands.

Emperors New Groove, Ratatouille, and Tangled are some of my favorite animated films.

You mean Brenda is still being acknowledged as a director for that film? I thought that Pixar destroyed every bit of evidence of her very existence.
