Walt Disney Studios teases “Brave” with the courageous Merida in the mysterious highlands of Scotland

 

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.
