However, as is often the case with such arrangements, things don't work out as planned, which creates some intense problems for the family, and Merida has to try and fix it. Seeking a solution, she seeks the help of a witch who can help change the fate that lays before her. Like almost any teen girl, she has an antagonistic relationship with her mom, but her rebellious spirit, desire for freedom and her struggles with the expectations that she'll marry into a royal arrangement add another layer to their strife.
Merida is the first Disney princess who stands on her own and doesn't need help from a prince, which makes her more of a heroine than anyone in a tiara who's come before.ĭaughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), Merida (Kelly McDonald) chafes against her role as a princess, preferring archery and bounding through the forest on her steed Angus to the lessons in perfection her mother forces upon her. She's been into Disney princesses before, mostly Tangled's Rapunzel, due to their shared blond hair, but Brave's Scottish princess Merida struck a special chord with her, a common occurrence since Pixar decided to release a film starring a female lead. And now, she's got a Brave backpack and Brave dolls and for Halloween, she sported a bright red mop of curls as she trick-or-treated. Such was the case when the studio released Brave, however this time, my daughter was far more excited about the movie. We don't get to the movies as a family too often, but the release of a Pixar film is a guaranteed trip to the theater.
Pixar makes a pretty pretty entertaining princessĭislikes: Mother/daughter drama, how emotional movies make me since having a child
