The three baby brothers were the best part they created some of the funniest parts of the movie. King Fergus is funny but not overdone and Queen Elinor is actually quite layered. Yes she’s “tomboyish” but not is a typical, stereotypical way…she’s still very much a girl. Merida is a down-to-earth, relatable princess. The characters were all fantastic as well. Brave was more similar to Disney’s works than Pixar’s in storytelling but, in animation, it was all Pixar. It wasn’t a musical, but it did have a beautiful song and a great score. I wanted nothing more than to jump into the screen and explore the coats, forests, and castles presented in the movie. The music was also perfect. The Scottish setting was very realistic and true but not so much where non-Scots couldn’t relate. The animation was Pixar’s best to date and the scenery was stunning. They story takes some surprising, but enjoyable, twists, which I think is refreshing in today’s environment of trailers telling the whole story. One of the reasons the above plot summary is so short is that the trailer, while seemingly giving a lot away, actually keeps many of the important plot lines a secret. She is a carefree girl who enjoys archery and riding her horse Angus and doesn’t want to get married quite yet, and certainly not to someone she didn’t choose herself.ĭespite her protest, the games commence and are brought to a halt when Merida decides to “win her own hand.” This leads to clashes between Merida and her mother and between all four clans, threatening a war. When Merida escapes into the forest she makes some dangerous decisions in attempt to change her fate but must be brave enough to put everything back together again. Headstrong Merida, however, has other plans.
King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) present their daughter Merida’s (Kelly Macdonald) hand in marriage to the first born son of each of the three clan kings (Robbie Coltrane, Kevin McKidd, and Craig Ferguson). As per tradition, they will compete in games to win her hand.
