The first image from Pixar's upcoming fairy tale Brave has hit the web. This is the Princess Merida, as voiced by Kelly MacDonald.
Synopsis: The film features Kelly Macdonald as the voice of Merida, a skilled archer and the 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.
The teaser trailer for the film will be attached to Cars 2 which hits theaters on June 24, 2011.
Brave is finishing up production in preparation for its June 15th, 2012 release date. [source: The Art of Disney Animation]
