Oscar-nominated director Mark Andrews, who has worked on such Disney and Pixar projects as The Incredibles and John Carter, hosts a behind-the-scenes look at his forthcoming film Brave, out in June from Pixar. In just under 2 minutes, there are animation samples, interviews and a lot of discussion on the value of storytelling in the legendary world of Disney animation and the beautiful world of the Scottish countryside. Check it out below! 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) andcantankerous 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 humor. Opens on June 22, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
