Finally, Disney is getting with the program. Rather than another damsel in distress flick, we’ve got a “Brave” Princess who fights for her own hand, rebels against her family's expectations, and is an all around badass with a bow. No more waiting for Prince Charming! This comes on the coattails of the Katniss Everdeen Hunger Games archery hoopla, and can only bring more popularity and hype to the sport.

The movie comes out on June 22, and I’m not sure if there is any hunting in it (wouldn’t that be a far cry from Bambi) but the preview does suggest that Merida, the fiery redheaded heroine, shoots a bear.

Yes, it may say Disney on the outside, but this is a creation of Pixar - which Disney bought out because Pixar was giving them a good pasting at the box office. (If you can't beat them buy them out.) They left control to the folks in the Pixar studios (ie Steve Jobs). That's what may explain the eons of difference between Bambi and this movie.
