This Friday marks the big screen debut of "Brave," the latest movie from Pixar. By this Saturday morning, we expect Princess Merida, the movie's plucky heroine, to stand alongside Wall-E, Buzz Lightyear and Nemo as a beloved audience favorite.

A new film from the animation studio is always a bright spot for audiences, which is why Moviefone has re-teamed with Dennis Culver -- the awesome artist who helped create the Nicktoon Avengers -- to imagine a summer movie season starring nothing but Pixar characters.

If you're not into this season's slate of blockbusters, maybe these re-castings of everything from "The Expendables 2" to "Magic Mike" will change your mind. Check out the gallery below to see what happens when the Pixar characters take over the summer movie season.

• Carl From 'Up' in 'The Dark Knight Rises'

  The grumpiest Batman ever.

• Princes Merida in 'The Expendables 2'

  Arnold and Sly could get a lesson in bravery from this red-haired heroine.

• Woody Allen's 'To Rome With Monsters'

  (<em>no comment</em>)

• Wall-E in 'The Amazing Spider-Man'

  How cold-hearted do you have to be to call him a "menace"?

• Buzz and Woody in 'Magic Mike'

  "<em>We found love in a hopeless place</em>..."

• The Incredibles in 'Battlefield America'

  Or "Step Up Revolution." Either way, it doesn't matter -- there's no defeating them.

• Remy the Rat in 'The Bourne Legacy'

  As if Jason Bourne wasn't impressive enough, now we can add heightened taste and smell to his skill-set.

• Nemo in 'Piranha 3DD'

  Marlin would not approve of this!
