![]() Not that that fact seems to bother Fergus in the least, in fact he later proclaims that part to be his favorite part of his oft-repeated tale of the battle. ![]() When the family is attacked by a massive bear named Mor’du, Elinor and Merida escape to safety while Fergus battled the bear and ended up losing a leg to it in the process. We watch Merida grow up through flashbacks and during one of them, we see her receive a bow and arrow from her father Fergus (Billy Connolly), much to her mother’s dismay. Set in ancient Scotland, this tale revolves around the wild maned princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald), whose exuberance for life and adventure is constantly kept in check by her mother Elinor (Emma Thompson) and the expectations place upon her. The movie is funny and gorgeous to look at, but the story is thin and one that we’ve seen many other times in other movies, some of them even from Disney itself. Brave is another example of a Pixar release that would is going to suffer from the high expectations place on it. Their stellar reputation has become a double-edged sword for them which is frankly somewhat unfair even if it is understandable. Pixar has had an almost unblemished record with only a few missteps which normally would have been more favorably received if the movies had been be released by anyone else but Pixar. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, Brave is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humor that audiences of all ages around the world have come to eagerly expect. The ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her skills and resources – including her clever and mischievous triplet brothers – to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late, discovering the meaning of true bravery. Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. ![]() Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Brave follows the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). From Disney and Pixar, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition and challenges destiny to change her fate. Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland.
