From the studios of Pixar (Disney) that brought us modern animated classics like Toy Story (1, 2 &3), Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, WALL E. etc we have another feature animation set in the mystical Celtic past called - Brave. Below we’ve got one featurette about the ‘story’ and a strange (but cool) little mash-up of their trailers creating an advert for ‘Witches’ Brew’ – enjoy and keep an eye out for the wonderful, mellifluous brogue of one Billy Connolly.

Official Synopsis:
Set in the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland, Disney*Pixar’s “Brave” follows the heroic journey of Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to change her fate, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and 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), unleashing chaos in the kingdom. When she turns to an eccentric Witch (voice of Julie Walters), she is granted an ill-fated wish and the ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her resources-including her mischievous triplet brothers-to undo a beastly curse and discover the meaning of true bravery. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humour.
