Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar releases another amazing poster and image featuring the animated film's heroine, Princess Merida (Kelly MacDonald).  See the adorable and epic images after the jump.

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.

“Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

Look at those locks.  I'm absolutely falling in love with this character.  Her overall design excites me (it is not what you think, pervert).  It is something about the character's aura that defines her totality and with this, you don't even need to see a video, just a picture and you will feel the epicness.  If ever Merida is accepted on the ranks of Disney Princesses, she could be the first one that is co created by Pixar and the 2nd CGI princess next to to Princess Rapunzel of Tangled.  This is indeed another milestone for Disney and Pixar.

Coming on August 2012 in local cinemas from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.
