// News

Lamp loving, CGI sorcerers Pixar have conjured up this brand new trailer for their upcoming 2012 film “Brave” to accompany a set of three new images. The film stars Kelly Macdonald as Princess Merida in the studios first ever fairy tale and first non sequel for three years. The film also stars Billy Connolly as King Fergus, Emma Thompson as Queen Elinor, Julie Walters as the wise woman as well as roles for Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane and simply because it is a Pixar film we presume John Ratzenberger will be involved.

Synopsis from the Brave website

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 (Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.

Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (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 (Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (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.
