BRAVE: “Change your fate.”
The picture you see here is the teaser movie poster art for Brave, Disney-Pixar’s upcoming animated feature film. According to the official site, the movie is set to premiere on June 22nd, 2012. I can’t wait! The official story description reads:
“Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In ‘Brave,’ a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny, and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson), and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.”
Basically, this movie seems like a combination of all my favorite things. Ancient times, epic battles, mystical legends, awesome female protagonist, and Kelly Macdonald’s lovely accent. Yes, please. Plus, Emma Thompson! (I think that makes at least four Harry Potter actors. Love.) Check out the exciting trailer below, so you can join me in my geeky anticipation:






This is such a tease! I want to see this movie NOW! Is it me or is Merida the first Disney Princess WITHOUT a perfect hairdo??? I know I’ll love this feisty princess, just like I loved Tiana who was such a hands-on girl!
