Entertainment Weekly has the scoop on the next Pixar movie coming down the pike, “Brave”. The film, which is about a Scottish princess as well as Pixar’s first fairy tale fantasy, is set to be pretty dark in terms of storytelling.

“What we want to get across [with the teaser] is that this story has some darker elements,” said director Mark Andrews to the site/magazine. “Not to frighten off our Pixar fans–we’ll still have all the comedy and the great characters. But we get a little more intense here.”

In the poster, you can see some mysterious blue stones, which, according to producer Katherine Sarafian, are very integral to the storyline. “Those stones are actually a pretty important set in the film,” she said. “We can’t say what happens there, but they were inspired by an actual location in Scotland that we visited several times during our research. According to Sarafian, the stones were a very powerful setting for the story being told.

The poster–which also boasts even better CG than “Cars 2”, which is saying something, seeing how much technology actually went into creating “Cars 2”–can be seen below. “Brave” is expected to be in theaters June 22, 2012 (two years from yesterday exactly!).
