It's like nothing you've seen before from Pixar.” Imagine: magic, mystery and danger-all set within a haunting and beautiful landscape. There's no more perfect setting for this powerful tale than the dark and rugged Scottish Highlands. Originally directed by Brenda Chapman, who's still credited as co-director, this is now being handled by Mark Andrews, who said of the story, 'Brave’ is an epic adventure chock-full of action, humor and heart. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.' '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. 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). Here's the blurb on the plot: 'The film features Kelly Macdonald as the voice of Merida, a skilled archer and the daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson).

As you'd expect, they look gorgeous, and the voice cast sounds interesting - although the headline news there is that Kelly Macdonald has replaced Reese Witherspoon. It's been a long time coming, but we've just received some voice cast confirmation for Pixar's 2012 release, Brave (formerly The Bear And The Bow), and four new pieces of concept art from the film. This story has been updated to include a fourth piece of Pixar concept art.
