Brave New Character Posters

Brave

PIXAR’s next release is nearly upon us, and we are get­ting a bit more art­work to sup­port that release. Pixar just popped up with some new posters for Brave, and a lit­tle bit more of a look at the new char­ac­ters that come with the story.

Brave is a fresh fairy tale that takes place in rugged and mythic Scot­land. The impetu­ous, tangle-haired Merida, though a daugh­ter of roy­alty, would pre­fer to make her mark as a great archer. A clash of wills with her mother com­pels Merida to make a reck­less choice, which unleashes unin­tended peril on her father’s king­dom and her mother’s life. Merida strug­gles with the unpre­dictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right.

The new posters fea­ture Princess Merida, King Fer­gus, Queen Eli­nor, Witch, Lord MacGuf­fin, Lord Mac­in­tosh and Lord Dingwall.

Dis­ney has a lot of hope rest­ing on Brave’s shoul­ders, what with the cash suck that was John Carter. Pixar has a strong record of hits, and Disney’s cof­fers look to need that stim­u­lus to coun­ter­act the reported 200 mil­lion dol­lar bath that Carter report­edly cost. Iron­i­cally, John Carter was directed by PIXAR alum Andrew Stanton.

Brave is set for a June 22, 2012 release.
