A more fitting choice anyway, not least because her Scottish heritage shall no doubt bring a degree of authenticity to the role. Reese Witherspoon was previously on board to portray the heroine protagonist Merida but has had to drop out due to scheduling issues, with Boardwalk Empire's Kelly MacDonald now taking over. Also figuring into Meridas quest and serving as comic relief are the kingdoms three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), the surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane). In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman (Julie Walters) and is granted an ill-fated wish. An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. EW outlines the plot thusly Brave is set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, where Merida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). The film, previously titled The Brave and the Bow, is set to mark big changes for Pixar as it is both their first traditional fairytale and their first motion picture featuring a female lead. Entertainment Weekly have just unwittingly brightened up my day by releasing a batch of concept art for Pixar's summer 2012 movie Brave.
