June 22, 2012 will see the latest film from Disney/Pixar arrive, and though it seems to follow many of the story telling tropes found in other Disney films, this still looks very good.
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.

YAAAAY!! I am waiting very impatiently for this movie!! :D
I cain’t remember win aye last be longin’ fer a Disney picture, an thas a fact!
(do you know how hard it is to be typin’ with a brogue, now?)
Not so sure I like the head and face designs and how they are animated. But this looks good enough that I would see this (in 3D) and throw my support behind a Pixar movie with a female lead character and with a screenplay written by women. They are promising a slightly dark fairy tale, and I like those.
