I saved all the images and ripped all the videos from youtube, but they are on my computer at work, so I could try and re-upload the footage tomorrow for you all...

Awww. I signed up on MouseInfo for no reason.

I'm just praying that Pixar kept the queen a brunette. If they made her redheaded, put her in a green dress and braided her hair back like in the two concepts I've seen of her she'd look too much like Fiona (you know. Dreamworks' Fiona.) Besides, if they kept her like that Pixar would show how different Merida and her mother (Elinore, I guess) are.

Dang, I would've loved the film to be primarily in the snow. I guess I'll still have to rely on Ice Age to satisfy my snow needs.

Agreed. I love its atomsphere of the poster. I hope it will be the official teaser poster.

thanks for the link, sotiris.

it absolutely amazes me the talent possessed by some people. the 4th image in that link with the castle on the hilltop and the ridges makes me want to cry. and then to think these are only concept pieces and will end up either binned or in a folder somewhere, they should be housed somewhere they can be viewed.

Wow! Thank you so much for posting! I skewed, resized and brightened a lot of the photos to put on my tumblr so we could get a better idea of what they looked like! Feel free to check them out.

Thanks again!

The art is beautiful. I especially love the artwork with Elinore in it.

I'm now more excited then I was before.

Thanks Sotiris.

I like the images of the Witch character; it all looks so delightfully stylised.

MacDonald: 'Scary' Being in Brave
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpres ... 259891689A

Kelly Macdonald has confessed she's feeling the pressure of being Pixar's first ever leading lady.

The No Country For Old Men star leads a Scottish cast in Brave, which is due for release next summer.

But she revealed it took a while to realise the character she voices, Princess Merida, is the studio's first female protagonist.

"I kind of didn't realise until quite recently that I was the first female - like way after I'd started my voice recordings and everything," she laughed. "I'm delighted but it's kind of scary."

Fellow Scot Kevin McKidd, who voices the role of Lord MacGuffin in the animation, said he was happy to be flying the flag for all things Scottish.

He said: "I'm proud of being Scottish and to be involved in a film that's going to shout from the rooftops that Scotland is an awesome place and has brilliant stories and cool characters... it does mean a lot actually.

"To be in a Pixar film anyway, is amazing."

Boardwalk Empire star Kelly, who appeared at Disney's D23 Expo to give fans a sneak peak of the movie, chimed in: "To be in a Pixar film and to get to play in your own accent and with all these fellow Scots as well."

Robbie Coltrane, Billy Connolly and comedian Craig Ferguson also star in the movie, which tells the story of a princess who defies her parents to follow her interest in archery.

Kevin McKidd Talks Brave

I recently had the chance to speak with actor Kevin McKidd about his upcoming action project Bunraku, which arrives on VOD formats on September 1, in advance of its theatrical release on September 30. We also discussed his double-role in the upcoming Pixar animated tale Brave, where he voices Lord MacGuffin and Young MacGuffin. Here's what he had to say about his characters, and the experience of working with Pixar.

"I'm doing two voices in that movie now, actually. My kids are unbelievably excited that I'm in a Pixar movie. I was at the D23 convention last week in Anaheim, and it was great to see the audience's reaction. They all seemed to love it. I play Lord MacGuffin and Young MacGuffin. Young MacGuffin is one of the suitors to Merida, Kelly Macdonald's character, who asks for her hand in marriage. He's a strapping young chap but he can't be understood by anyone because his Scottish brogue is too thick. His father kind of translates for him on his behalf. They just landed on the idea that I should do both voices. I've been a Pixar fan from the start, so to get to work with them, I'm kind of pinching myself. I think they do the best work around."

The actor also revealed his work on Brave is almost finished, which brings a two-year production experience to a close.

"Yeah, I think I have one or two more sessions to go before picture locks. I think picture locks in the spring. So yeah, we're almost there, but I've been involved with this project for two years now."
