Moichendising!
As Mel Brooks so wisely pointed out in the movie Spaceballs, it’s all about the merch.  Our friends who follow all things Disney over at StitchKingdom.com are reporting that Disney and Pixar are developing a video game based on the upcoming animated feature film Brave.  It will be available on a variety of platforms and will allow players to relive the movie experiences of the lead character, Merida, as well as go on new adventures.  On systems that support it, you’ll be able to shoot your own bow and arrow or ride your horse through the Scottish countryside.  Watch for it online and in stores this summer, to coincide with the film’s release.

Brave’s Writer
The newspaper Herald Scotland recently profiled Brenda Chapman, the writer behind Brave about her Scottish heritage and her inspiration to create the film.
