2/28/12: Brave in Disney Digital 3D Sneak Peek

I wanted to provide you a sneak peek of the new movie Brave coming to theaters on June 22nd in Disney Digital 3D.  This looks to be a great movie portraying a strong woman and I am excited to see it when it comes out.  Read on for an exclusive Trailer for the movie.  You can also check out a sneak peek of some beautiful toys coming out from JAKKS Pacific in conjunction with this movie in my post here.

Here is a synopsis of the movie:

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 Witch (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.
