Den of Geek had the chance to see thirty minutes of footage from Pixar’s upcoming film, Brave, featuring the studio’s very first female protagonist.

Though the review doesn’t reveal much new information, the takeaway is at the end, where they give their impressions of the story as a whole:

What made a real impression (possibly because its characters are human, a rare thing from Pixar) is how stylised and character-driven the walks are. Merinda’s a tomboy so she bounces and bounds, Queen Elinor’s the essence of royal grace so she glides, and King Fergus (Billy Connolly, the stand-out member of the voice cast) is an enormous hunk of meat with all the weight his kingly warrior role requires.

The script is funny too, the story engaging, and the protagonist easy to root for, if not as endearing as say, a Wall-E or a Nemo. In short, Brave looks very decent indeed, and Merida makes for a very welcome addition to Disney’s princess roster. The film’s crowning glory though, pain in the arse it may be, has to be that fantastic-looking hair. What a barnet.
