Brave Directed by: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman Starring: (voices of) Kelly MacDonald, Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly Rating: PG Release Date: June 22, 2012

TRAILER SCORE: 9/10

Thoughts by TSR: Pixar's first female protagonist! Yay! And she has crazy red hair and Scottish ancestors and she rides her ebony steed dramatically through the storm! The animation looks phenomenal (it's Pixar; of course it does), the characters seem wonderful (ditto), and it gives little girls an alternative to Barbie's vacant grin. So excited!
