Pixarfans have been in their glory this week. Two new films, oneabout dinosaursand another aboutthe human brain, were announced, we learneda bunch Universityand their next film,Brave, finally came into focus. In previous months, Pixar chose tosimply teasewhat we can expect from their Summer 2012 release but, at the D23 Expo, they began topeel the curtain backand now they’ve inched it back again. A brand new plot synopsis for the original fairy tale set in 10th Century Scotland has been released and you can read it after the jump.
Thanks toPixar Planetfor this reveal. Here we go:
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.
Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The film takes aim at theaters on June 08, 2025, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
Definitely makes things clearer, no?
