Believe it or not, a lot is riding on Disney/Pixar's upcoming annual installment Brave. After Cars 2 was seen as a failure among critics and audiences, the final nail in the coffin came when the film wasn't nominated for Best Animated Feature, the first time since the category's introduction nearly a decade ago. So, Disney and Pixar are looking to get back on top with this year's fairy tale film. With the full trailer already airing on repeat on the Disney Channel, and the film's official site going up just yesterday, the studios decided to release an all-new beautiful poster today, which you can see after the jump!

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 Witch (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.
Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, Brave hits theaters on June 22nd and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D in select theaters.
