New Featurette for Pixar's BRAVE focuses on Princess Merinda

Pixar has released a new video featurette for Brave. It features the main character of the story, Princess Merinda (Kelly Macdonald), talking about her character and the story of the film. I've enjoyed everything I've seen for this movie so far, and it makes me wish that Pixar had been doing more of these kinds of films. Hopfully after this is released and becomes a success, they will make more films with this same kind of tone and style. Brave looks like it will be a ton of fun for both kids and adults. 

Here's what the movie is about:

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 Wise Woman (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.

Brave opens up in theaters on June 22nd, 2012, and I have no doubt this will end up being an instant Pixar classic.
