Pixar releases the first trailer for 'Brave'


The trailer for Pixar’s first animated fairytale Brave has finally been released and is scheduled to open in theaters on June 22nd, 2012. Set in the Scottish Highlands, Brave features a ginger haired princess named Merida (voiced by Kelly Mcdonald) who is a skilled archer and is determined to find her own path in life. Brave marks the first time a Pixar film has featured a female protagonist. The film is directed by Brenda Chapman (Prince of Egypt) and Mark Andrews. The film also includes the voices of Emma ThompsonJulie Walters, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane.
This one minute trailer appeals to the mystical nature of the story, by showing Merida and her mess of red curls riding a horse through the forest as if she is on a kind of quest. She later brandishes a bow and arrow in a suspenseful fight with a large black bear. There is also a nice aerial view of a majestic looking castle. The animation is rather impressive and the Scottish voice narration really sets a mysterious tone for the film, which emphasizes the message that everyone has the ability to be brave. In a clever move, the narration also leads into the title of the film, which is shown at the end.
