A new poster for Disney/Pixar’s BRAVE is here, focusing on the main character of Merida with a nocked arrow and ready for a fight.
Check it out:
This looks really great to me and a much-needed break from the “sequelitis” that has plagued Pixar of late. CARS 2 was abysmal and with the recent success of TANGLED, I can see why they’d choose to go this route instead of using anthropomorphic characters or objects. It’s nice to have the human element being featured in a Pixar film for a change and I’m genuinely looking forward to this.
Here’s the synopsis:
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 Wise Woman (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.
BRAVE opens in 2D and 3D on June 22nd, 2012.
