In 2012, Disney/Pixar will step back in time to mythical Scotland in the action-packed period fantasy movie Brave. The impetuous, tangle-haired Merida is the heroine of this rugged Highland fairy tale.
The daughter of royalty, plucky Merida dreams of one day becoming a great archer, but this unlikely choice of career leads to a clash of wills with her mother. Merida then recklessly makes a choice that has catastrophic consequences for her father's kingdom and her mother's life. To put things right, Merida must battle against the forces of nature, magic, and a dark, ancient curse.
Brave is a movie of firsts, sure to conjure lots of buzz: It is Pixar's first-ever period fantasy, as well as the company's first-ever female-driven feature.
