Kelly Macdonald takes on the lead voice role in Disney/Pixar’s Brave, directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman. The PG-rated animated film will hit theaters on June 22, 2012.
The voice cast also includes Emma Thompson as Queen Elinor, Billy Connolly as King Fergus, Kevin McKidd as Lord MacGuffin, Julie Walters as a wise woman, Robbie Coltrane as Lord Dingwall, and Craig Ferguson as Lord Macintosh.
Official Synopsis: 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 (Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Connolly) and Queen Elinor (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 (McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (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.
