Japanese trailer for 'BRAVE.'

The Japanese trailer for Pixar's BRAVE aka ' Merida & The Frightening Forest'shows us that there's a lot more to the story that what the American trailers have portrayed. If you're the sort who likes to discover that there's much more to a movie while you see it, this one is best avoided. But if you still need convincing to see this one, perhaps this trailer will make you more interested. As some of noted, the film does give off a vibe very similar to Princess Mononoke, but perhaps that's deliberate on the part of the Japanese trailer? Though it wouldn't surprise anyone that Pixar would imitate some iconic themes and things from Studio Ghibli...
