@@xxstar-bluesxx oddly most people never get that. I've seen youtubers literally say stupid stuff like 'you shouldn't make your kids do anything, except go to school ' ... bro
People don't realize that being a queen is a hell of a responsibility. It is a job for life and that life can be VERY short if you're a bad queen. People have this crazy notion that queens just get to laze about eating cake whenever they want. Look how well that turned out for Marie Antoinette. They ran the household/castle, often managing the finances of the whole kingdom. They have to be the perfect model of grace, diplomacy and righteousness. Kingdoms can crumble and go to war over a single, rude comment. If other nations don't respect you, they will walk all over you to the detriment of your people. An uneducated queen is a completely useless queen. Useless queens are easily assassinated and replaced queens. Eleanor is a good queen and a good mom. Not a perfect mom by any stretch but still wanting to do what was best for her daughter and her kingdom. She must be queen first, mother second. People that hate Eleanor have no idea what she must do as queen. Merida is a right shit for simply refusing to see what her mother is trying to teach her. Eleanor was teaching her court survival skills.
@@mokko759 And as we saw later it all came into use later, in her speech to the three clans, the vocal lessons and the history lessons, everything Elinor had trained her for, keeping a kingdom in tact. And I think Merida realised that as well, realised that it wasn't 'all for naught'.
So a little thing on will-o-the-wisps: some people say they lead you to your fate. Others say they leave you to your death, the one fate everyone shares
@@abbythyst like Kelpies. sure~ at first they are just cute little ponies by the side of a river, but once you get on their backs, you are stuck there as they begin to dive into the river, drowning you and eating you! they mainly go after children if i recall. old folktales: there's a reason we rarely talk about them.
The Queen doesn't just wear the pants in that family-She wears it for the whole Kingdom! Notice how the other clan leaders respect her and do what she says?
I'm pretty sure it's because of the direction the film took with the bear plot. There's actually an amazing critique video on RUclips ("Brave was a disappointment", but don't let yourself be fooled by the title, it's not as harsh as it may sound) that explains how the bear plot cheapened what had been built up to that point. I too like this film, but I totally see where the bad reviews are coming from.
@@hummus_exual I've watched that video you're talking about before. Welp🤷🏻♂️ guess critics will be critics and any kind of criticism shouldn't prevent us from watching any movie we like🙂
I'm not a critic, but I don't care for this movie at all. Every great Pixar movie has the protagonist grow from the experience in the movie, but it seems only the Queen (who is not the protagonist) actually grew. Incidentally, that's also why Incredibles 2 felt a bit lack luster as well.
@@stefsmurf The whole point of the movie was for both Ellanor and Mer to grow. Both wanted different things, both wanted the other to listen to them and both of them had a hard time communicating to each other. Most people either hate Ellanor or Mer because it depends on your perspective on how you see each character. Was Mer just a spoiled child that just needed to listen to her mother, or was Ella not listening to her daughter and only caring about herself? In reality both were wrong and came out right in the end. Not gonna lie idk why I wrote all this
Translation for 10:00 "if he was a wee bitty closer i could lob a caber at him ken" translated is... If he was just a bit closer i could throw a caber at him you know. Also a caber is a huge log now pretty much only used in highland games. And at 23:30 "i have respect for the hand of the quine (women) who doesnt want anybody yet. Love from aberdeen in the north east of scotland.
The tapestry was never the answer. “Mend the bond torn by pride” The bond being the bond of love between Merida and her mom. When Merida finally said “I love you” was when the spell was broken. Don’t know if you caught that but that was the message there
You see to me it wasn't just Merida who broke the bond it was both of them. Elinor Had to learn that her daughter is gonna be Queen but she can't Force her daughter to be someone she's not. While merida has to learn her mother does care about her but also she needs to rhink about whats best for everyone not just her
not me.i watched this movie since i was born over and over. im obssessed after that i watched rapunzel then trolls and how to train your dragon i notice that there was a bit of a difference in how they speak compared to brave so my peoples. i hate to break it to ya but..it just aint the same :))
26:53 "Where did she learn to throw hands like this??" Moms are tough. And they'd definitely fight like bears to protect their family, especially their kids. :)
@@RealElevenTimes Maybe its just cause she loves her family and its shown more than usual disney films along with how she has no love interest. Maybe could be cause shes Scottish like me tho haha xxx
Young MacGuffin is speaking in a Doric accent (Kevin McKidd who voices both Lord and Young MacGuffin has family in the area where they speak that), first thing he said was: "If he were a wee bit closer I could lob ma caber at him, ya ken?' (ya ken meaning you know, caber being some sort of log that you throw in the games), no one knows what he was saying when he was chatting to the other lords sons (kind of liked how they seemed to get on and how unconcerned they were with the whole marriage ceremony), the third thing he said was "It's just nay (not) fair making us fight for the hand of a girl who doesn't want a bit of it, ken?" Don't worry, Wee Dingwall's harmless unless his dad sics him on someone.
@@damonfernihough4398 but tangled was released in 2010 so that doesn't make it a "disney movie from the last decade" Tangled def as good if not better than Zootopia in my opinion
This is literally my favorite Pixar movie ever. And it seems to be vastly overlooked because it came out during Pixar’s best run of movies in my opinion.
I heard this movie went through a lot of story editing and iterations. Apparently there was one version that was more focused on the romance side of things. It's kind of left in in the movie when the dads of the clans are presenting their Napoleon Dynamite looking-ass sons, she kind of perks up when she first sees big boy on the right. It doesn't go anywhere, but it's still interesting.
Unpopular opinion: Merida is the villain of the film. Mor'du was a baddie but he was no real villain. He could have been cut from the film and almost nothing would have changed. Merida, on the other hand, is literally the cause of everything that goes wrong in the film. She insults chieftains allied with her father, nearly causing a war, shirks her responsibilities as a noble lady, purposely ignores everything her mother and queen is trying to teach her, she does not consider anybody else's feelings or positions. Not to mention the fact she literally pays a witch for a spell to use against her mother. A spell which she has no idea what it will do, doesn't give a shit about her mom's safety or how the rest of her family will react to Eleanor being a different person. Hell, that spell could have been straight up poison that changed her mom from a living person to a dead one and Merida didn't give a damn so long as Merida could continue being a selfish, disrespectful shit. Merida was just more concerned with winning the I'm-So-Hard-Done-By Award than anything else. Didn't want to marry? Fine, deal with that in a way that doesn't cause a war or poison your mother. Yes, there is character growth as she realized everything her mom tried to do for her really was for her benefit but that still doesn't change the fact she was a horrible child.
Translation from a scot. "If he wiz a wee bit closer ah could toss a caper at him, ken?" If he was a little bit closer I could throw a big bit of wood at him, you know?
At 5:44 , when you say you were taught not to drink that water, you are able to drink it depending on where it's coming from and what body of water it is. If it's a waterfall in the mountains, it's safe to drink if it's coming out of the mountain, but if it's coming from the very top, then check the top if there's anything up there that is toxic. But if it's a river, always check upstream if there's something in the water as well. Like if there's some type of dead animal in the river upstream, don't drink, if it's a weird color, don't drink, and you could use water testing kits as well, to test for toxic chemicals. I'd say just search up this stuff. It's well known and I'm sure you could learn a lot from some cites
Don’t worry about it whoever is worried about your hair has no life I just like that you get your videos out on time and you’re so devoted to your channel
I liked this movie but I wished they went a different direction instead of the whole bear transformation. I really loved seeing the mom and daughter dynamic and it didn't feel like as much when the mom is a bear and can't talk. The whole first half was simply amazing and even though I dont have an overbearing mother like the queen, I could still relate and understand but the last half was ok. Still loved the film overall and have watched many times, i just felt like pixar missed out on a much better story
I completely agree, it felt like it veered off in a completely different direction, despite developing such an interesting family dynamic which also discusses the different ideas of femininity This video discusses more in depth the disconnect between the mother-daughter plot and the bear plot if you’re interested ruclips.net/video/wRjHL8kbkZk/видео.html
The original director focused on the mother and daughter relationship, but she left due to creative differences (I think). Then another director came in and put in the bear plot.
26:20 My favorite part that further shows how strong Merida is. Flips the guy using a spear to hold her, rearms herself with another man's sword and manages to successfully parry/block her father's downward strike directed at the queen. She then proceeds to beat him up.
Bro, I love this movie. I first saw it in the theater when I was a kid in 2012. This movie is like getting hit by a nostalgia train going full speed for me. And also, I agree with this at 17:35 “That’s a huge jump.” Like, My Mom, and I were just talking about that like last night, and the night before when we were watching Brave. I was thinking like you said, she should’ve said like 2, or 3 months. And my mom was saying like “some of those desserts look really good too.” I guess Merida was more focused on her mom, and I respect that. But man, she gave up all those yummy desserts though.
Shot out to the witch, she warned Merida before giving the spell and didn't originally want to do witchy stuff but business is business and she gave them the answer
I'm not even gonna lie, when I first watched Brave and the film was like in the middle where Merida and her bear mom found out that the prince became Mor'du I though that they might find another way to break the spell, and they break the spell for the prince/Mor'du as well and based on the stone carvings of him he looked decently manly, so I though that that was going to happen and then Merida would end up with him, because at that time I though "There is NO WAY that Merida is going to marry ANY of the boys presented, and Certainly NOT that boy who basically "won" her hand in marriage.". That is what I though was going to happen.
When you asked how she knows how to ‘Throw hands’ I think it refers to when someone’s is messing with a mother’s child mama bear comes out. Some strength that comes out when trying to protect their babies and it works here again because the mother is a bear.
It's kinda funny how alot of people see the Queen as evil, bad or mean for doing her job as a Queen and mother, preparing her daughter to rule, even higher than a King. I guess it can seem kinda harsh depending on culture and opinion, but Merida showed that she was listening and her lessons came in handy. I suppose it's a play on perspective.
Both Merida and Elinor had their display of mix of both good and bad, I felt 🙂 For example, Elinor was bad in never letting Merida have freedom or make her own life choices, but she was good in the lessons and stories she told her daughter and most importantly good in loving her child and desiring to do the “best” for her
@@fd3 For me the learning curve for the mother was during Meredith talking to everyone she realized that is that her daughter is not going to be exactly like her and she should let her be her own person
18:43 Scots weren't Vikings. Also the reason one of the sons was hard to understand is because he was just speaking Scottish Gaelic which as funny as the joke may be, makes no sense since all of them would have spoken Gaelic at this point.
I've not seen the Gaelic version, but he's probably speaking some Scots English but because it's the English version it's been reversed & I don't speak Gaelic, although I have tried & I understood like 90% of what he said, I think it's mostly really thick Scots
@@KingBuster90 Oh ok then my mistake I guess, thanks for the correction. Regardless, the other characters would've realistically probably understood him still right? EDIT: I looked into it and supposedly he is speaking in the Doric dialect so maybe they wouldnt understand him if they didnt know the dialect then.
29:19 I don’t know-I kinda sympathize with her in that she was really reluctant to give out any spells and basically warned Merida that she always had unsatisfied customers, but Merida pushed her to “help” anyway. (Though, to be fair, the witch could have just said no.) Also, the fact that she turned them both into a bear makes me think that…maybe she’s not all-powerful? Maybe that’s the only eay she knows to change someone (though she, again, could have mentioned that beforehand if that’s the case). In further support of this, her magic seems to have a bit of a mind of its own (cf. the way the knives turned against her). Maybe it just usually listens to her, but she’s not in total control of it? ⚔️🛡 (+🐻🏹👩🏻🦰)
ok as a scot i have deciphered that the guy who spoke in the thick accent said: "if he were a wee bitty closer i could lob a caber at him ken?" which means "if he was a little bit closer I could throw a caber (large wooden pole) at him you know?"
This movie made me cry as a kid,,, it's strangely different and magical and it really hit me when I was little. Still dunno why, though. Wasn't a sad sort of crying. I ALSO remember how upset I got with my classmates because everyone insisted that Merida's name was Brave and I was just like, "th e y don't call her that EVER in the Movie"
This film was *really* good, but I wish it had a bit more rewatchability tbh. I also would've loved to hv seen more of the triplets - they were hilarious lol
🛡 I say we don't thank the witch, per se, but we don't blame her either because she wasn't gonna do it. Merida refused to take no for an answer. And maybe I'm biased because I work in mental health care, but they don’t need a witch. They need a family therapist to help them be able to listen to each other and find compromise.
I love this movie. But, I am the only one who saw Merida as the "immature" one? I notice everyone talking bad about the mom, I thought she was doing her duty as a ruler. I mean, you can see everyone respect her!
To be honest I think they're both very immature in a way they both complained about neither of them listen to 1 another yet they don't even want to listen to 1 another
I loved the reaction^^ Merida became one of my favorite disney princesses and I just loooove the movie! PS: I can't wait for you to react to Treasure Planet, Atlantis or Sinbad
Just found your channel and am absolutely BINGEING your videos, your reaction vids are so fun omg. I love how you say Merida's name at the start lol, it's cool
26:52 "Where did she learn how to throw hands like this?" nowhere, but at that moment the only thing she was thinking about was protecting her daughter, and a mother that is scared for her child's safety can often tap into something called "hysterical strength". "Hysterical strength" is a display of extreme strength by humans (well, bear in this case lol), beyond what is believed to be normal, usually occurring when people are in life-and-death situations. The classic anecdotal example is of parents lifting vehicles to rescue their trapped children.
I love this movie too man! I sometimes imagine what the story would've been like if Merida had a crossover with LINK (The Legend of Zelda) I think Merida would've definitely liked a pretty boy forest warrior like HIM! lol Anyway her mother really needed to stop being such a stick in the mud and just let her daughter do her own thing, at least her father was more understanding about Merida than she was.
Haggis is a savory pudding containing sheep's pluck, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now often in an artificial casing instead. Yeah no
Where I'm from (Chile) we have a traditional dish that's very similar, it's called Chanfaina, I've tried it and it's actually really good even though it's cooked in a sheep's stomach
Oof, this movie just makes me wonder if the Queen touched a bit home?? I wasn’t close to my mother until I was an much older. The Queen didn’t used to be a good mom. She was always a good one, she just had some room to improve. You don’t have to be a parent to understand a dynamic between parent & child. The difference of how a relationship develops as the child grows older & what the parent (in their perspective) find best for their kids... Idk that’s just me. Never found the Queen to be prick...
I don't know what you meant on the last part but I kind of agree with you on the mother wasn't really been problem she just didn't understand her daughter now
You talking about needing a haircut and dude you look good, I got an undercut back in March, the hair at the sides of my head are starting to curl *I* need a haircut my boy, you look fine 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Just fyi, they're not Vikings. the Vikings invaded Scotland. These are the early days of the clans, around the 10th century, and the Highlanders in Scotland had the clan system until 1746 when they lost their final rebellion against the English (it was over replacing the King), you can look it up if you want, it was the Battle of Culloden that ended their way of life after the English forbade many of the things that made them who they were, really sad :(

But if it's a river, always check upstream if there's something in the water as well. Like if there's some type of dead animal in the river upstream, don't drink, if it's a weird color, don't drink, and you could use water testing kits as well, to test for toxic chemicals. I'd say just search up this stuff. It's well known and I'm sure you could learn a lot from some cites
I absolutely love this movie, it was my childhood
Don’t worry about it whoever is worried about your hair has no life I just like that you get your videos out on time and you’re so devoted to your channel
I liked this movie but I wished they went a different direction instead of the whole bear transformation. I really loved seeing the mom and daughter dynamic and it didn't feel like as much when the mom is a bear and can't talk. The whole first half was simply amazing and even though I dont have an overbearing mother like the queen, I could still relate and understand but the last half was ok. Still loved the film overall and have watched many times, i just felt like pixar missed out on a much better story
I completely agree, it felt like it veered off in a completely different direction, despite developing such an interesting family dynamic which also discusses the different ideas of femininity
This video discusses more in depth the disconnect between the mother-daughter plot and the bear plot if you’re interested

exactly, this movie is good, but I feel like it had the potential to be a masterpiece and it just isn't
The original director focused on the mother and daughter relationship, but she left due to creative differences (I think). Then another director came in and put in the bear plot.
overBEARing 😭
26:20 My favorite part that further shows how strong Merida is. Flips the guy using a spear to hold her, rearms herself with another man's sword and manages to successfully parry/block her father's downward strike directed at the queen. She then proceeds to beat him up.
Bro, I love this movie. I first saw it in the theater when I was a kid in 2012. This movie is like getting hit by a nostalgia train going full speed for me. And also, I agree with this at 17:35 “That’s a huge jump.”
Like, My Mom, and I were just talking about that like last night, and the night before when we were watching Brave. I was thinking like you said, she should’ve said like 2, or 3 months. And my mom was saying like “some of those desserts look really good too.” I guess Merida was more focused on her mom, and I respect that. But man, she gave up all those yummy desserts though.
Shot out to the witch, she warned Merida before giving the spell and didn't originally want to do witchy stuff but business is business and she gave them the answer
I'm not even gonna lie, when I first watched Brave and the film was like in the middle where Merida and her bear mom found out that the prince became Mor'du I though that they might find another way to break the spell, and they break the spell for the prince/Mor'du as well and based on the stone carvings of him he looked decently manly, so I though that that was going to happen and then Merida would end up with him, because at that time I though "There is NO WAY that Merida is going to marry ANY of the boys presented, and Certainly NOT that boy who basically "won" her hand in marriage.". That is what I though was going to happen.
When you asked how she knows how to ‘Throw hands’ I think it refers to when someone’s is messing with a mother’s child mama bear comes out. Some strength that comes out when trying to protect their babies and it works here again because the mother is a bear.
EEyyy I had missed this reaction!! I loved it :) xx
Running water is always safe to drink as long as it's clear and running fast enough. So, she'll be fine drinking that waterfall water
RIval Reacts: "Where did she learn to throw hands like this?"
Me: Mah dude, she is literally a mamma bear right now...
Omg this film kinda reminds me of Brother Bear!! (sort of similar but not really 😂) You should deffo check it out! xxx
King Fergus is Billy Connelly, best Scottish comedian ever
27:55 I’m glad Merida loved her mom.
It's kinda funny how alot of people see the Queen as evil, bad or mean for doing her job as a Queen and mother, preparing her daughter to rule, even higher than a King. I guess it can seem kinda harsh depending on culture and opinion, but Merida showed that she was listening and her lessons came in handy. I suppose it's a play on perspective.
Both Merida and Elinor had their display of mix of both good and bad, I felt 🙂
For example, Elinor was bad in never letting Merida have freedom or make her own life choices, but she was good in the lessons and stories she told her daughter and most importantly good in loving her child and desiring to do the “best” for her
@@fd3 For me the learning curve for the mother was during Meredith talking to everyone she realized that is that her daughter is not going to be exactly like her and she should let her be her own person
This is why merida is my favorite princess
my all time fav disney princess

Interesting tidbit: that horn with a "tongue" is called a carnyx. It is an ancient iron age celtic horn. They know what it sounds like- and its creepy
“.. this ones how to be a bear”
Nah man that would be Brother Bear 😎
"This is how to be a bear"
You should watch brother bear cause it literaly does that😂
Fast running water is drinkable
Cool
18:43 Scots weren't Vikings. Also the reason one of the sons was hard to understand is because he was just speaking Scottish Gaelic which as funny as the joke may be, makes no sense since all of them would have spoken Gaelic at this point.
I've not seen the Gaelic version, but he's probably speaking some Scots English
but because it's the English version it's been reversed & I don't speak Gaelic, although I have tried
& I understood like 90% of what he said, I think it's mostly really thick Scots
@@KingBuster90 Oh ok then my mistake I guess, thanks for the correction. Regardless, the other characters would've realistically probably understood him still right?
EDIT: I looked into it and supposedly he is speaking in the Doric dialect so maybe they wouldnt understand him if they didnt know the dialect then.
29:19 I don’t know-I kinda sympathize with her in that she was really reluctant to give out any spells and basically warned Merida that she always had unsatisfied customers, but Merida pushed her to “help” anyway. (Though, to be fair, the witch could have just said no.)
Also, the fact that she turned them both into a bear makes me think that…maybe she’s not all-powerful? Maybe that’s the only eay she knows to change someone (though she, again, could have mentioned that beforehand if that’s the case). In further support of this, her magic seems to have a bit of a mind of its own (cf. the way the knives turned against her). Maybe it just usually listens to her, but she’s not in total control of it?
⚔️🛡 (+🐻🏹👩🏻🦰)
ok as a scot i have deciphered that the guy who spoke in the thick accent said: "if he were a wee bitty closer i could lob a caber at him ken?" which means "if he was a little bit closer I could throw a caber (large wooden pole) at him you know?"
Want another bear movie? Brother bear.
This movie made me cry as a kid,,, it's strangely different and magical and it really hit me when I was little. Still dunno why, though. Wasn't a sad sort of crying.
I ALSO remember how upset I got with my classmates because everyone insisted that Merida's name was Brave and I was just like, "th e y don't call her that EVER in the Movie"
0:06 pls start the video always like this!
This film was *really* good, but I wish it had a bit more rewatchability tbh. I also would've loved to hv seen more of the triplets - they were hilarious lol
🛡 I say we don't thank the witch, per se, but we don't blame her either because she wasn't gonna do it. Merida refused to take no for an answer. And maybe I'm biased because I work in mental health care, but they don’t need a witch. They need a family therapist to help them be able to listen to each other and find compromise.
Yay I was the 100th member on your server ☺
🎉 lets goo
I love this movie.
But, I am the only one who saw Merida as the "immature" one? I notice everyone talking bad about the mom, I thought she was doing her duty as a ruler. I mean, you can see everyone respect her!
To be honest I think they're both very immature in a way they both complained about neither of them listen to 1 another yet they don't even want to listen to 1 another
5 of ur vids inna row bro
This is gud content
Brother bear is the true "how to be a bear "movie
I loved the reaction^^ Merida became one of my favorite disney princesses and I just loooove the movie!
PS: I can't wait for you to react to Treasure Planet, Atlantis or Sinbad
Always enjoy your reactions🗡🏹🛡
Just found your channel and am absolutely BINGEING your videos, your reaction vids are so fun omg. I love how you say Merida's name at the start lol, it's cool
This is my favourite Disney movie of all time and I will not listen to any criticism of it.
Saying that I’ll now watch your video 😂😂😂😂 😍
great reaction! ⚔️
Thanks!
26:52 "Where did she learn how to throw hands like this?" nowhere, but at that moment the only thing she was thinking about was protecting her daughter, and a mother that is scared for her child's safety can often tap into something called "hysterical strength". "Hysterical strength" is a display of extreme strength by humans (well, bear in this case lol), beyond what is believed to be normal, usually occurring when people are in life-and-death situations. The classic anecdotal example is of parents lifting vehicles to rescue their trapped children.
I love this movie too man! I sometimes imagine what the story would've been like if Merida had a crossover with LINK (The Legend of Zelda) I think Merida would've definitely liked a pretty boy forest warrior like HIM! lol Anyway her mother really needed to stop being such a stick in the mud and just let her daughter do her own thing, at least her father was more understanding about Merida than she was.
"Brujería"~~ uuUUhhh haha
Dingwall Jr.'s only real fighting skill is biting!
Please can you react to brother bear it criminally underrated 🐻🐾🌈
Your hair looks lovely :) I hope you are taking good care of yourself and your studies are going well! Good luck!
This is the nicest comment of the entire year, thanks for this
@@RivalReacts you are kind ☺️ and thank you for reacting to Brave, it's one of my favorites
Princesses could hunt and lead their warriors into battle. Just remember where from
Haggis is a savory pudding containing sheep's pluck, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now often in an artificial casing instead.
Yeah no
Where I'm from (Chile) we have a traditional dish that's very similar, it's called Chanfaina, I've tried it and it's actually really good even though it's cooked in a sheep's stomach
This is in my opinion the best movie ever made
Just a note, Celtic is pronounced like Keltic, only the American Basketball team mispronounces it
The things you learn.. thanks bestie
@@RivalReacts no problemo, keep up the great content 🙌🏽
Oof, this movie just makes me wonder if the Queen touched a bit home?? I wasn’t close to my mother until I was an much older. The Queen didn’t used to be a good mom. She was always a good one, she just had some room to improve. You don’t have to be a parent to understand a dynamic between parent & child. The difference of how a relationship develops as the child grows older & what the parent (in their perspective) find best for their kids... Idk that’s just me. Never found the Queen to be prick...
I don't know what you meant on the last part but I kind of agree with you on the mother wasn't really been problem she just didn't understand her daughter now
what is up my boy watching from netherlantds harde video
The witch knew what she was doing the entire time so yes we should thank her
You talking about needing a haircut and dude you look good, I got an undercut back in March, the hair at the sides of my head are starting to curl *I* need a haircut my boy, you look fine 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love this movie! Ive been watching it for a HUGEEEEEEEEEE long majority of my life i like to think it made me who i am-
... I heard Perfect ... something that rhymes with pitch at first and I was like OMG :O XD
Just fyi, they're not Vikings. the Vikings invaded Scotland. These are the early days of the clans, around the 10th century, and the Highlanders in Scotland had the clan system until 1746 when they lost their final rebellion against the English (it was over replacing the King), you can look it up if you want, it was the Battle of Culloden that ended their way of life after the English forbade many of the things that made them who they were, really sad :(
12:41 incase you are wondering why they scream in disgust it is traditional to not wear any underwear under a kilt
i would be a bear more than a dragon cause BEAR POG
funfact the carving witch is voiced by molly weasly & she is KEY to the pixar theory
rival: *keeps mentioning how to train your dragon throughout the video*
me, a veteran mericcup shipper who was in the rise of the brave tangled dragons fandom at its peak: 👀👀
Scotland 🏴 ❤
