Disney Pixar’s upcoming animated adventure, Brave, will dare “impetuous” princess and skilled archer, Merida, to change her fate. Is she up to the challenge? We’ll find out come June 22nd. Until then you can enjoy the latest official poster art. As if Pixar’s first female hero wasn’t exciting enough, the art in this one continues to dazzle.

The secrets and mystery of the forest lay all around Merida in this poster, illustrated in a deep, misty blue-green. Her amazing, wild red tresses only stand out all the more for it. You can also clearly see her big green eyes and her trusty bow and arrow.

Kelly McDonald of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part two, and Boardwalk Empire will voice the feisty princess. The film will be available in 3D. Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane, and Julie Walters also lend their voices as members of the cast. Itunes has the latest clips and trailers and also provided the stylish new art.

Take a gander, too, at the 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 (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma 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 (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie 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.
